"I was thinking in terms of the nearer future," Lucas called after the retreating medic. "This crash even if it was an accident, will draw the attention of scavengers. And usually there are first to arrive: the ones who caused the crasj, and those who saw the crash and don't want to share their loot."

His first priority is digging through the twisted mess that used to be his cabin looking for his spacer's bag, which contained most of his worldly possessions. Once he finds it and drags it out, he gets out his first aid kit and starts combing the area for survivors and applying bandages and splints.
