Dr. Zoill's Zombies

One of Dr. Zoill's experiments at the Fleet University.

Dr. Zoill makes the zombies in order to test the effectiveness of a retrovirus cure. He is trying to predict the chemical warfare that an enemy might use against them in the future, reasoning that if someone tries to turn them all into zombies, he already knows the basic chemical pathways, and has a working knowledge of what goes into a cure.

Unfortunately, given that Dr. Zoill was insane, the experiment got out of hand and the Zombies attacked, killing him among others. It is implied in Classic that the reason Dr. Zoill let the experiment go so far was because, while he did know what the consequences could be, he was too crazy or egotistical to care.

Dr.Zoill did have an antidote partially prepared and on hand, and in all iterations of Blue, including the Musical, the crew (predominantly Moira) was able to follow his instructions to produce a cure.
