The Castaways – Part 1

Imagine you are all passengers on a flight heading somewhere into the South Pacific. Just
before dawn, your pilot comes on the intercom to inform you that the plane is in difficulty and that he
will attempt an emergency landing in the water near a deserted island, which the navigator has
managed to spot. The landing is a near disaster, plunging into the ocean. The pilot dies in the crash
and your group is washed up on shore. All electronic devices (including cell phones) are destroyed in
the crash, as is the radio.

You are a small group of survivors, and you have escaped death and made it to shore.
