A strange combination of the movie Pandorum and Aliens came to mind one day so I thought I'd test it out as an RP.
Everything else is explained in the spoiler tags!
Looking for 5-6 players, doesn't matter if your a new player or an experienced one, as long as you are able to see this through until the end and have fun!
Also, I wish to post a map of the spaceship and if anyone knows a good site that I can host the image on, please let me know

It is the year 2106 and the Human race has expanded into the space, with Mars, Neptune and Mercury having entire cities now spreading across there surfaces. Pluto has also been colonized for the purpose of being a prison.
Space travel between planets is accomplished in a manner similar to that of trains on tracks, wireless signals connect the ship from point A to point B with manual piloting only being needed in case of obstacles in the ships path, therefore space-pilots are now known as 'Watchmen'.
You are on-board the prisoner transport vessel, PTS Vector. You are making a routine run to Pluto, a run you've made dozens of times before, when suddenly the ship is hit with a sudden infection of Shivers, a space disease that results from flying through pockets of radiation in space. These cases are much more severe however, as mutations have begun to occur...

Name: Jason Rios
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance (Physical Only): Very tall, strong build. Strong and sturdy bone structure along with big chin bones and a muscular body. Standard military outfit. Carries a Ace of Spades tattoo on his left shoulder.
Class: Guard
Items on you: Flashlight, zippo lighter and a radio.
Bio: Jason joined the force after five years in the slammer on Pluto. In there he was code named Ace, a name set upon him for always winning the poker games. He managed to decorate his cell nicely, but that was all behind him now. Two years working as one of the good guys surely made a mark, but there's some of that jail air still lingering about his presence.

AUDIO MEDICAL LOG
DR. WARWICK, B. (CHIEF PSYCH OFFICER)
REPORT OF PSYCHIATRIC OBSERVATION
PATIENT: HARRIS, G. (Patient #PM-19026-EH)
"Science Log,Chief Psychiatric Officer Dr. Warwick reporting.
Harris is asleep, after another strong sedative. He seems literally unable to sleep without chemical aid. Most people succumb to exhaustion after 50+ hours of waking, regardless of any desire to stay awake, His ability to remain Conscious after such a long period of time is, strange, to say the least
His explanation of events on Mars is also odd, and he appears to be experiencing a form of dementia, the obvious symptoms being are acute depression, insomnia and hallucination. his actions of violence and murder also indicate extreme paranoia
His guilt is not in doubt in regards to the crime he committed--two planetside security officers were present when he took Dr Elizabeth hostage and murdered several patients --and he doesn't deny his actions. But he insists there was no crime, nor does he feel guilt.
This is classic sociopathic behavior, but Harris exhibits no other symptoms. He is affable and friendly, able to empathize and offer original opinions.
When questioned about the murder, however, he becomes withdrawn and intransigent, displaying schizophrenic behavior. He also undergoes intermittent hallucinatory periods, again similar to those reported by his previous doctor, Dr. Reynolds, Before he was transferred to my care.
Harris claims he threatened the late Doctor Elizabeth because he "had to stop the dreams and the faces",-- Something The late doctor apparently failed to do so-- and that he "Awaits ascension". What that means, I haven't determined yet, the man has no religious history to speak of. A most intriguing case.
I am placing him on the next shuttle to Pluto, Dr. Reynolds reported that his own analysis has been fruitless and I'm afraid my own is inconclusive, He will be placed in the direct care of my good friend Dr. Herman Hazil during the flight, before being transferred to the Pluto's Psychiatric Officer, Dr. Cicero.
I was hesitant to do so at first, but i need his expertise, Perhaps Dr. Hazil's analysis of Subject 026 will be more forthcoming"
