The Nathan James!

There are over 200 personnel aboard that ship, minus the people who were killed serving on that ship.

Every once in a while, new members will board that ship.

80% of the world population perished. The crew of the Nathan James survived because they were radio silenced and in the Arctic, away from civilization. There were other survivors, some who were immune to the virus, and others who resided outside city limits.

Niels Sorenson, a Norwegian scientist, injected himself with the virus to make his body immune, thus, making him patient zero. He attempted to mix his human gene with the virus, but instead, the virus replicated and he became contagious as he made contact with others around him. Every person he came in contact with, including his wife, became infected an eventually died, but others were immune like him. Instead of just building an immunity to the virus, he became the carrier who brought a devastating plague to the world.

Billions of people died. Countries worldwide lost control of their borders. There is food shortage and power failure. Dangerous factions were formed by people who saw this crisis as an opportunity. There is no stable government in any country left.

Chief Engineer!

From what we understand, it is a newer version of the Red Virus called the Red Rust. Since the cure for the original red virus was already discovered, an unknown entity engineered a new plague, which caused food to spoil and starvation worldwide. However, there are seeds called Elaeis Virilis that are immune to the virus but they are very rare and are being hoarded by hostile forces. The virus spread quickly because of insects that acted as carriers for the plague. Corn, sugar cane, and a vast majority of grassland were contaminated. Anyone who digested food contaminated by the Red Rust grew ill and died.
