HM, in some quarters the package you outline would be heralded as "good management!"

The boyz out of TO are "masters and commanders!" They control the "boat and all hands!"

The Capitain, ever more fearful of the sharks out of TO, who, smelling blood, are moving in an ever tightening circle, is feeling obligated to sacrifice his long time supportive crew (no news, no resource estimate!) to the frenzied Hammerheads to keep them at Bay! He, no doubt, wonders Howe he can stop this "bloodbath!" Rumor has it the first mate lis be-Ginning to look over his shoulder!

The question on deck is "who's next?" Self sacrific may be an option!

Not exactly a Wynne-Wynne situation!
