The Hazards Of Choosing A Victim

Ageless reads through Louttit's version of Marine Philosphy.

Die for your buddies?

No way.

But he doesn't wish to upset Captain Louttit, who may yet be useful.

Very good, says Ageless. I'll just flesh it out. Now you get some shut-eye.

Sure buddy, says Captain Louttit.

Louttit vacates the chair and lies down in the corner. Soon he is dreaming of :

Creating good citizens and WINNING BATTLES.

Ageless scratches his head? What to do? Should he ask Kobo?

He writes her an email:

dear excellent kobo ( my own!!!!!!!) o kobo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no one can help me but you ,,,,,,,,,,you are a reader,,,,,,,,,, what do you know of marine philosophy???? please answer i value your input,,,, ageless lobster,,,,,cliklik,,,,, Send.

On receipt of the email Kobo is flattered. Yes, she is a reader. Marine philosophy. Mmmm. Yes, Coleridge, will do nicely......

She replies immediately:

dear ageless i suggest you read the rime of the ancient mmmariner if your intellect is up to it......by the way it was needlessly cruel of you to mmake mme believe freud was dying........love kobo......

He replies immediately:

beloved,,,,,,thanks for the advice,,,,, what is it,,,,,,,a poetry????,,,,,,,,what about me? i was dying,,,,,did you care a squids arse,,,,,,, no i think not,,,,!!.

She replies immediately:

 yes ageless yes

Which is highly ambiguous.

Ageless begins searching online for the Rime of The Ancient Mariner.

Captain Louttit stirs in his warlike meanderings. He creates model citizens of enemy children by giving them sweets........

Ageless locates the Rime and reads in growing puzzlement:

"God save thee ancient Mariner
From the fiends that plague thee thus.
Why look'st thou so?"  - With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS

Ageless ploughs on, hoping to find out the answer to the universal question: WHY DID THE ANCIENT MARINER SHOOT THE ALBATROSS?

Mean Kobo. The poem is tricky and the answer never comes.
