The Tyranny of Consent
When "Yes" means something else...
The One In Charge Of Ammo said "Yes, but only if you can justify it against the table of predicted consumption. Sorry, I don't make the rules."
The One In Charge Of Predicted Consumption said "Yes, but only if you can get this exemption signed off by the training estate. Sorry, I wish it was more flexible."
The One In Charge Of Estate said "Yes, but only if you meet the priorities set by the manager of training. Sorry, we are really busy."
The One In Charge Of Training Priorities said "Yes, but you need to explain to the fire manager why we will take this extra risk. Sorry, but it's not my decision to make."
The One In Charge Of Fires said "Yes, but you need to show me your mitigations consistent with the directive of risk management. Sorry, but fire is our Number One Risk according to the algorithm."
The One In Charge Of Risk Management said "Yes, but you need to insert these extra control measures unless you can get Two Star dispensation. Sorry, it's the policy."
The One In Charge Of The Two Star said "Yes, but you need a storyboard to explain what the benefit will be. Sorry, but he won't accept it in this state."
You decided not to see The One In Charge Of Transport.

And Everyone was helpful.
And No-one did the right thing.
Because No-one did anything at all.
No one wants to be responsible for the result.
