Ooooh.
This looks really interesting!

All zombie apocs are always going somewhere, but this one is one trying to settle! I like it.

I wanna be a somewhat high-ranking officer of the Navy, who abandoned ship with a couple pilots and soldiers once the aircraft carrier he served on managed to get the infection, during its attempts to take on refugees.

Is this modern day? Slightly into the future?
I could elaborate on the backstory, too! I enjoy being overlytechnical.
