There are two Captains, each promises smooth sailing. Captain #1 steers hard to port based on an outdated chart. Disloyalty is punishable by being thrown to the sharks.
Captain #2 over-compensates steering hard to starboard, disagreement means you must be loyal to Captain #1.
Either Captain left alone will hit a reef probably breaking the ship in two.
The passengers are sea-sick from zig-zagging back and forth and eyeing the lifeboats, but don't want to be on any boat at all now.
