Zombie Apocalypse

Arcadia finds USS Melos (Nova class) drifting in deep space, with 1 lifesign. Unable to establish contact, an away team is sent over to the bridge and engineering. They find the aftermath of battles, and evidence that the crew killed each other. Dr Swan finds a wounded engineer, who touches her forehead, then dies just before evacuation to Arcadia's sickbay.

 

Arcadia's sickbay is quarantined and officers are ordered to undergo decontamination on return.

Dr Swan infects Dr Raleigh, then returns to the AT. Raleigh goes through decontamination and heads to the mess hall, infecting others there, including Ens Ted R'shir from security. R'shir calls Lt Pilot down to security and infects him. Pilot goes to the bridge and infects the captain.

 

The AT finds Melos' computer records scrambled. They transfer the data to Arcadia for later analysis. Swan returns to Melos bridge and infects the AT there, then goes to engineering to infect that AT. The AT returns to the ship and goes through an ineffective decontamination procedure.

The captain, XO, bridge crew and others work to infect everyone on the ship. Those who realize something is going wrong and report it are quickly infected. Arcadia sets course for a nearby class M planet with approximately early 21 century tech level.

Arcadia beams a small away team into a major rail station on the planet and begins infecting people, most of whom take no notice of the away team.

 

One young person seems unaffected by the infection process and runs away.

The away team boards a train leading to the airport, touching and infecting whoever they can onboard. They notice that two children seem unaffected. At the airport, one gets off while the other is detained in an attempt to find out why they're unaffected. Great creepiness ensues.

 

On Arcadia, a report comes in that the children in the school are uninterested in "playing tag."

48 hrs have passed.

 

The children and teenagers on the planet use primitive communications technologies (radio, texting) to find the "Cat Lady", who they think is associated with what's been happening to all the adults. They also learn that pain turns off the effects of the zombie-infection.

 

They lure the away team one-by-one (starting with Daena) into slapstick encounters, resulting in much hilarity and curing them of the affliction. The cured away team realizes that the captain and the vast majority of the crew are affected.

The away team uses a ruse of a medical emergency to get a few officers (Swan, Kent, Marx, and Pilot) to the ship. Most of the shipboard crew has been beamed down to the planet. They plan to use a loud, high pitched sound to cause pain shipwide and drive out the infection.

 

Captain Lo'Ami begins getting extreme urges to go down to the planet and start zapping people himself. He calls Dr Raleigh to the bridge to hand over command so he can beam down.

 

Dr. Swan activates the sound, curing the shipboard crew. The sound is broadcast to the planet, curing anyone in audible range.

 

Arcadia recovers its crew.
