Nops. The Puppet needs someone who can give it a LIFE (yes after the 
puppet was made by the Puppeteer). It couldn't be any one else.
But Puppeteer himself not 'every time' needs to operate the puppet. 
Some tomes the puppet could be operated by another puppeteer and so - 
THE PUPPET IS ALWAYS THE PARTNER=A0FOR=A0THE PUPPETEER. ALWAYS! Not 
"remote" needed.
