What was the fate of the survivors on the mini atoll?


What did the future hold for them?

I think they were pretty much all killed, or taken back to the Exxon Valdez as slaves of one sort or the other.

Meant the one near the end that Gregor takes them to, with all the boats tied together.

Four people on the island isn't enough to keep humanity going nor do all the work needed to survive, especially when one is an old man and one is a child. If Helen ended up pregnant then they're down to one strong adult, and they would need more help. I like to think that the enforcer and Gregor went back to find the other survivors. There were some boats on the island they could've used. Plus there are other sailors roaming around the ocean, and it's customary for all boats to stop and trade with anyone they encounter on the open water. If the mariner came across other people he could vet them and bring them back, too. I'm sure the mariner went back to visit his friends at some point.

They buried green boots and made a raft from oxygen bottles.
