The White November - 08 is the research ship on which the story begins, and is the setting of Zone 1 in the first game. The scientists on board were attempting to develop a cure for zombification and, judging from the fact that Louis was able to restore the zombified Sonny's intelligence and human emotional capacity, they almost certainly succeeded to an extent.

Involvement

Sonny wakes up at the beginning of the first game on the ship, having just been brought back to life by his friend Louis as a zombie. He cannot, however, remember anything of his life before death, suffering from something similar to amnesia. He and Louis fight their way across the ship through the zombified remains of the crew, aiming to find a speedboat and escape. As they reach the speedboat hangar, however, they run into a ZPCI squad, sent to kill everyone aboard the ship to stop the research. One of the ZPCI soldiers shoots Louis and, in a vengeful frenzy, Sonny kills them all. As Louis lies dying in Sonny's arms, he gives Sonny a tape, saying that it might be able to help him. Louis then breathes his last, and Sonny escapes on a speedboat as the ship is searched by the ZPCI.

Trivia

• The White November is the only place in the game where Metabiis are encountered. Louis says that they used to be the crew of the ship. It is possible they are at an early stage of zombification or did not fully form due to exposure to the cure discovered.
• The name is likely a reference to the titular submarine from The Hunt for Red October.
• The tutorial level of Sonny 2 seems to take place here.
• The Crowbar found in the shop could be a reference to Half-Life's protagonist, Gordon Freeman.
• The Fire Axe found in the shop is the exact same as the Sonny 2 version.
• This is the only story zone doesn't have training fight mode.
• Considering that the words "WN-08" is on the Ship's floor, this could suggest that the White November is the 8th research ship made for whatever reason.
