The passengers on the boat were all jittery.
"Again everybody, please fasten your seat belts. As you know we are going through some choppy seas." , crackled the Captain over the intercom. One man was more jittery than others. He was hyperventilating, shifting in his seat. "Bro chill out. Gum?" said the man next to him. "No," he said stiffly. The man pulled out his brief case, taking out a needle. He injected himself with a green fluid. He jerked his head up, got up, mumbling something about going to the bathroom.

A good fifteen minutes later a bloodcurling scream filled the ship. "He's dead, his face-- it was melted off or something!" screamed a rather plump lady. "We're infected, we're all infected!"

The captain crackled over the intercom, "It has come to our attention that there is contagion on the ship. Masks will be dropping from above. We advise that you wear them to ensure you safety. Above all, please stay calm."
Backstory:
A cruise ship, the Carnival Splendor is coasting right over the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean. The weather is stormy and the boat rocks like crib. A man is found in the bathroom with half of his face melted off. After further study it is discovered that there is a contagion on the ship. The government tells the captain of the ship that above all costs he must keep the disease on the ship. The ship is not allowed to go anywhere. The passengers are stranded. Men in hazmat suits are soon dropped from helicopters. These men were dubbed "Suits." Chaos ensued. People slit into four factions; five if you count the suits a faction. It was survival of the fittest. It should be noted that the sickness is not transferred through air. "But Narwhal you said in the introductory paragraph that the captain said to wear gas masks!" That was before further studies had been administrated and yada. It is advisable to wash your hands as often as possible and avoid touching surfaces. Wearing gloves is advisable.
