What does this look like to you?
Yup. Zombies. Someone went ashore during a vacation, got bit, then brought it back on board. Victims had no where to go, so it spread rapidly
This is one of the most difficult outbreaks to account for. If you catch it soon enough, and the ship is still at sea, it is simple (but not EASY) to contain via one of our Containe Ships/Q-Ships, but explaining what happened to the rest of the world is no simple task. In the past, RoMERO has used various forms of subterfuge. An onboard fire gets the uninfected off and aids confusion and the reported loss of life can be tamped down to just a handful. When you say “3 passengers dies” but don’t specify their names you can hide the real total. Did that off of South Africa a few years back. The Bermuda triangle is useful. Especially if the ship is in that region and the whole complement succumbs. We also use ‘mystery stomach ailments’ and scatter the passengers to hide the missing numbers, sometimes using RoMERO members as ‘passenger’ families and vacationers. That’s what was used this week.
It could have been much worse. All we need is some run away ship of undead crashing into the docks of a crowded city. You end up with a sizable number of shamblors as a vector instead of a usual one or two. That almost happened, in this case, in Salvador Brazil.
I didn’t get tapped for this one. RoMERO runs a system similar to the Boomer submarine system. Blue and Gold teams alternating taking the boat out for 3 month tours, so the crew gets relief but the nuclear deterrent is pretty much constantly on station. We alternate into Puce and Gray ‘shifts’ (zombie colors) in 2 month intervals, not for constant coverage, but to aid our need for secrecy. If things got bad, both shifts can be activated to quell a big uprising.
We dodged a bullet on this one, people. Reports I’ve heard about how close to disaster this was… The thought turns my bowels to water. The whole continent could have gone up, only stopped at Panama. Chile might have been securable, but not the low lands. Oh well. All’s well that ends well.
Tally this mission, 922 zombies retired (not 340! I don't care what AP reported). No injuries to Romero teams. Truth effectively suppressed with a fake stomach ailment. I stayed home this time so no cover story for me. You're welcome...

Did you guys use the SEALZ's? (sea, air, land, zombie surpression)
ReplyDeleteThey tried to call themselves that, but there are a few REAL SEALS in RoMERO, and they don't want somebody to pretend to be a part of the Navy organization just becuase he does some of the same things against targets that don't shoot back. So that idea was dropped out of concern for their feelings.
