The mercenary ship that you're now on, except yours is painted black and is much cooler.

Saul and O'Neal manage to fix up the bridge and get the boat pointed in the right direction. The GPS is functional and for the first time in two days you know where you are. You're much further from land than you imagined and your latitude is approximate to that of South Carolina. After a couple of hours O'Neal notices that you're losing fuel and after a bit of searching finds a fuel line damaged by gun fire, he manages to fix it but now believes that there's probably not enough fuel to get you back to the mainland. Courtney and Debbie, however, find that the boat is well stocked with supplies, enough for ten days, longer if you ration it.
Two days later a massive hurricane assaults the ship. It lasts for three days and when it's over your engines and electrics are damaged and you're left floating, dead in the water, once again with no idea where you are.
The day after Saul falls ill. He lasts for six hours before he dies. O'Neal takes care off the body and then, with some small ceremony, dumps him overboard.
Five days after that, Derek falls ill. He lasts a little longer before he too succumbs and is dealt with by O'Neal.
Two days later Petra and O'Neal fall ill. Both fall into a coma. Some hours later Petra dies. O'Neal, however, recovers. Weakened but obviously improving. He is viewed with no small suspicion by the rest of the survivors but it is clear that he isn't a zombie and has survived the sickness.
A day later you see land for the first time in sixteen days.
Date and time beginning session 8: Midday, 27th of January.
