While on the maiden voyage of the Pinnacle cruise ship in summer of 2012 a group
of people who never met before where gathered at the same table celebrating the
maiden voyage of the cruise ship The Pinnacle. They were all roomed in the same
hallway and the tables were assigned by room number for this very special event,
so they all sat together. During the dinner Mr. Hayes a Texan oil tycoon who
seemed like a friendly enough fellow came over to their table and struck up a
conversation. Unfortunately while excitedly describing his large oil fields, he has a heart attack.
Despite the excellent care provided by Dr. Gregory House in the ball room Mr. Hayes died. Dr.
House provided mouth-to-mouth, CPR, and used a defibrillator but to no avail. It
was simply Mr. Hayes time to die. Dr. House went to the restroom to clean up and
then headed to the infirmary to check tell the ship doctors what tests the doctors should run on Mr. Hayes. What Dr. House, a man
of science, saw, was beyond belief. Four dead, torn and half eaten medical
personal and Mr. Hayes reanimated and feeding on the dead medical team. It
couldn't be! When Mr. Haynes started lumbering towards Dr. House, House in
shock, shut the infirmary doors locking in Mr. Hayes and went to inform
security. He could not exactly tell security what was wrong, who would believe
him when he doesn't believe what he saw himself, so he told the guard on duty to
visit the infirmary with a partner and they should both take guns, then he left
to get himself a strong drink.
From there things just got worse. The security guards shot the suspects in the
chest as trained to do but they kept on coming, the chaos started to spread.
Kirkman the head of security rounded up all the people (the players) who were at
the dinner table with Dr. House where Mr. Hayes had been when he suffered his
heart attack. Just before Mr. Hayes suffered his heart attack he was complaining
about is heartburn and how he must have eaten something bad. While the group is
being questioned by Kirkman the ship's power is lost. The group joins Kirkman to
the lower decks and into the engine room to try and discover what has happened
to the power. While walking in the dark engine room more zombies crawl out of
the darkness and automatic gun fire is heard from the far side of the engine
room. The Pinnacle has no automatic weapons on board.
A fire fight with men in military fatigues and "zombies" ensues up in the Bridge
ending with a miss-thrown grenade tumbling under the control panels. These
paramilitary men were hired to sink the Pinnacle.
We left off with Kirkman's plan to gather all the guest together in the Theater
room for safety. Everyone is pair off and ordered to go to all the decks and
inform the other guests to gather in the Theater.
