Challenge #04223-K205: After the Crash

A DeRegger CEO's ship went down. Most of the crew survived, but few were without injury. The CEO and his sons were unhurt.

Shockingly, despite how poorly the people were treated aboard ship, as literally unseen servants, the CEO and his sons began to take care of the injured to avoid infections and help pain. Why? They actually DID appreciate the work, they.. just were not good at showing it. -- Anon Guest

Of course the executive suite survived, all occupants relatively unscathed. It was in the corporate's best interest to be certain the important people would make it. The unimportant people - better known as everyone else - were replacable and therefore expendable, according to what passed for regulations within their polity.

That is, until the ship made a "cheese grater" landing across half a continent of an unsettled world, far from communications and help. That was when the unimportant people suddenly became very important indeed.

CEO's didn't know how to cook, they could only hunt with help, and generally claimed a proficiency with golf. Not the best life skill when trapped on a planet with little if anything to spare.
