So, my friend introduced me to this new show/book called the Last Ship. Pretty interesting. Here's the premise:

After a new global pandemic kills or sickens possibly over 90% of the world's population, the crew (consisting of 217 men and women) of a lone unaffected U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151) on deployment in the arctic for weapons testing, must now try to find a cure and stop the virus in order to save humanity.

I have a few interesting ideas for how to put a little bit of an original twist on the story, ranging from zombification to a much more advanced, yet... Secret... Twist.

Who'd be interested in sailing under the banner of the US Navy? :D

There's a show about the book, it's on TNT. It's good and I might give it a shot.

Would it be acceptable to be a Marine Officer assigned to the James? Most Naval ships have a small marine contingent assigned to them, so I wasn't sure If i could be one. If not, I would like to be the Tactical Action Officer, if that's alright.

Most Marines on the water are on Amphibious Assault Ships, not destroyers. Destroyers more commonly deploy a SEAL Team, like the James.

Im interested, and I love the show. Though id perfer no zombies because you could simply kill them off that would be the end of that.

I'm interested. I'd either be interested in one of the doctor spots, maybe a virologist, maybe an evolutionist?

An Evolutionist?

You know... I do realize now why it wouldn't make any sense for an evolutionist to be present.

Your medical professional could certainly believe in evolution. I would recommend a pathologist, but I don't know why would be on a ship instead of a lab. I was personally planning on making a psychiatrist.

I'm interested, but I sincerely hope you do a better job with the story than the boneheads at TNT. I love the premise, but the show, quite frankly, has shitty execution with overused cliches, character interactions that make me want to throw up, and a pretty fucking unrealistic set of conflicts. Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but the show does rub me the wrong way. It's not terrible, but as it stands, it needs improvement before it garners my full interest.

I will be more than happy to join this RP if you can do better, and I call dibs on SEAL Team Leader.

Maybe I will be Vladimir Putin. That just seems like a good option.
