'The motleyness of the crew of good ship Offset 17 was apparent to us all from the start. Never was there such a bunch of misfits; never was there a more appropriate academic mentor, I guess. Looking like a team auto-selected by one of VicUni’s diversity bots, Lina Bujupi, Jeevan Jeganathan, Liam Richards and Pauline Sawyer have been anything but the shambles the terms motley and auto-selection invoke. They have been a fantastic skeleton crew for a ship whose service might well be coming to an end. They have all learnt something about themselves; they have each performed little miracles.'
