(urth) Breakfast with Apheta

[brunians at brunians.org]

I mean, here you are, the autarch out by yourself in the woods with your
six year old son or daughter. Whatever happens happens to cut you off from
your support and bodygaurds and so on happens, and a tree falls on you,
breaking your back, causing massive internal injuries. It is apparent that
you are not going to live more than a few more minutes. Your child is
unhurt. What do you do?
