Basic Info:

  • Office buildings owned by the company often associated with the zombie outbreak. From the outside, they are indistinguishable from other buildings, but characters with the NecroTech Employment skill are able to recognise them.
  • Among the internal descriptions found in NecroTech Buildings:
    The NecroTech logo is set in the wall behind the front desk, and doors open onto powered-down computer rooms and laboratories."
  • If a generator is running inside the building:
    "The NecroTech logo glows gently above the front desk, and doors open onto a number of brightly-lit laboratories and computer rooms."
  • NecroTech offices are tall enough for survivors to commit suicide from. They also provide a vantage point from which binoculars can be used.
  • Necrotech Buildings can be barricaded normally.

Description

Necrotech

The Haslock Building is a NecroTech facility located in the suburb of Chancelwood. Though a faceless corporate structure to the uninitiated, this facility acts as the heart of R&D for NecroTech within the suburb. Like many structures in the suburb, it was purchased by NecroTech for a single euro following the death of the notoriously talented pastry-chef socialite, Elliot Spencer Curton. In his will, E.S. Curton had deeded the property--formerly an adorable high-end cupcake shop with private tasting booths servicing the clientèle of the Hingley Indie Cinema--to the 10 plus tame bonobos inhabiting Curton Mansion. Unbeknownst by Elliot, a little known local bylaw prohibits animals--excluding homo sapiens--from owning property valued in excess of $0.99. The property was assessed by a corrupt local magistrate and declared forfeit. A freak waffle-making accident prohibiting legitimate heirs, the property was seized by the state and ownership transferred to Necrotech Industries in July of 2003 as part of a bid by calorie-counting forces to slim down Chancelwood, Malton's most prominent fine dining district.

You can change a game's name, but the rules are still the same. The Haslock Building is still a beacon for those seeking plates of fresh, delicious pies. The tasting booths, replete with fresh napkins and shiny cutlery, are still in operation. The quarantine, however, has made obtaining ice cream nearly impossible and patrons of the Haslock Building have been known to manufacture the sweet confection using their own home-brew process thrown together from salvaged lab equipment. It's a favorite hang out for the sugar addicts and pie enthusiasts of Chancelwood, being directly adjacent to boyhood home of Elliot Spencer Curton -- Curton Mansion -- a stately Victorian manse that now serves as one of the few places to get a speedy revive in the region. Staff at this building commonly revive zombies at nearby revive points. This facility is one of two NecroTech facilities found in the suburb.

Members of project NecroWatch renovated the facility in recent months, as they installed sensor eyes for A.L.I.C.E. throughout the building and uploaded NecroNet 2.0 into the facility's system terminals.

Haslock has faced down groups and ferals alike and stands as a beacon of hope within the North of Malton. It found, as did many other buildings and suburbs, that Big Bash 2: Electric Boogaloo was near unstoppable.

Mandate

NecroTech staff continue to follow directive 42-A, issued by the head office on January 19th 2006, with the activation and manufacture of MK-II revivification syringes. While the cost in time and effort are currently high the certainty provided by being able to manufacture a constant stream of syringes has mitigated early concerns.

The activation of NecroNet with all NecroTech buildings has also allowed scientists to apply the DNA tracking research they have gathered to date. The field research staff stationed at the Haslock Building feel certain that they can crack the mystery surrounding the spread of the virus as well as help monitor aberrant zombie activity within Chancelwood.

Barricade Policy

This building should be Extremely Heavily (EH) barricaded at all times. This is in accordance with the barricade plan set forth by local survivors, who routinely monitor the barricade level for this building. This building is meant to serve as a safehouse for Malton's veteran survivors, and thus requires the Free Running skill to be properly utilized. Survivors who find the building's barricades below their assigned level are asked to assist in raising them back up in order to help ensure the safety of all the survivors staying inside the building. Any survivor found lowering the barricades may be directly "put to the question" by any survivors present at that time. If this happens the accused survivor must present a valid reason for their actions or be labeled a zombie spy/death cultist and be judged accordingly.

NecroNet Reports

Zombie tracking reports are a free service provided by the NecroTech corporation to all its staff and local survivors in order to help facilitate quicker response times when managing zombie threats and to build a greater awareness of zombie migration patterns within the 9x9 block region around the Haslock Building. As a cautious reminder, only those zombies tagged with the DNA Extractor will appear on these scans, so actual numbers may vary when dealing with older zombies (i.e. Brain Rot).
