Atlas

Atlas charts a course across the system delivering goods to your doorstep. Once, their fleets delivered a people from the apocalypse. They ran the margins then too, leaving cargo behind to bring more people. Saving a planet as callously as a restructuring.

Author's Notes

Extreme exertion isolates a person from help, discovered Atlas. Once a certain shoulder-to-burden ratio collapses, there is so little others can do: they can't lend a hand with Brazil and not stand on Peru.

Well... at least they left the cargo behind rather than the people?

It felt very corporate to me to have Atlas do humanitarian work with an eye on the bottom line. Like they knew they needed to justify saving people to the board.
