Will your survivor keep calm and carry on?

In the year 2010, a catastrophic bioengineering experiment took place somewhere in the world. The ill-fated project, intended to combat a global epidemic, quickly spiralled out of control, leading to a worldwide outbreak dubbed the Lazarus Pathogen.

As the infection spread like wildfire, The United Kingdom along with most of the world is transformed into haunting remnants of a bygone era. The once-vibrant cityscapes are now an apocalyptic wasteland, with crumbling buildings, abandoned vehicles, and remnants of desperate attempts to barricade against the undead leaving only a few safe places and safe harbours.

Thistledrift is one of these places on the east coast of the United Kingdom that was lucky enough to be isolated enough to give it time to adapt local environments enough to create a safe harbour for what remained of any structure of society. It is now the home port of the NATO vessel Europa, one of 2 remaining vessels that the European Union have put together to try and find a cure to rebuild as despite the fact the Lazarus Pathogen entering the world stage in the UK there is not one bit of proof it was created there and what remains of the United Kingdom Government rebut the allegations.

Juliet had walked away from Lola and Duncan. She couldn't explain it, but the guy gave her the creeps. He had been to Thistledrift only a handful of times since joining the Europa's crew. He had always seemed to be giving the few young women in Thistledrift a great deal…
