Synopsis: Dead Reckoning

Petty Officer Third Class Benedict Nash is not having a good day.

A Navy electronics technician on his first tour at sea, assigned to a Viet Nam era rust bucket pulled out of the mothball yards to do the Navy's grunt work while the real ships fight the ever-escalating war on terror.

Shortly after his ship rescues three injured foreigners in a US Navy lifeboat, his online "Dear John" chat with his girlfriend back home is interrupted by a sudden communications lockdown. Minutes later, alarms sound, sending the crew to general quarters, and he finds himself alone in a tiny radar room, freezing in the blasting A/C needed to keep the equipment cool. Hours pass with no explanation from his superiors, nothing to eat or drink, and no bathroom breaks. He sure his day can't get any worse.

Then the zombies come.
