The Sandy Building
Description
Before the outbreak, the Sandy Building was a largely unassuming office building no different to the many others scattered around Malton. Due to the large number of churches in the suburb of West Boundwood, the building initially attracted scorn from local residents as not being in keeping with the commonplace religious architecture, but protests against it's generic concrete aesthetics eventually died down as the occupying business, large telecommunications conglomerate Sandy TC Inc., provided much needed employment for the relatively affluent local residents. The complaints disappeared completely as other buildings of a similar design became more commonplace in the area.
History
Post-outbreak, the building doesn't seem to have come under much scrutiny from either zombies or survivors. The building has been looted for almost everything practical, but much of the now-useless networking technology still remains (though in various states of repair). The ground floor and windows to the office floors remain boarded up from the desperate attempts at protection by the initial survivors, and these are occasionally reconstructed from time to time by survivors bedding down as they pass through the suburb. The Sandy Building stands 16 floors tall, which provides a reasonable view around the local area when one stands on the roof, as well as Calvert and Bale Mall which can occasionally be seen in the distance on clear days. It also lies in a strategically advantageous position close to the Dorothey Plaza Police Department and Neot General Hospital, which it is believed Sandy Telecommunications originally provided various networking services for. The exterior and rooftop areas of the building show signs of recent human occupation, including discarded food and drinks packaging and crude graffiti staking claims to the building.
Barricade Policy
The building should mostly be barricaded to extremely heavy. This is in compliance with the West Boundwood Barricade Plan.
Current Status
October 2007: After a sudden zombie attack and a stroke of bad luck, the building has recently been reclaimed and remains firmly in the hands of the survivors. The building recently seems to be providing a haven for a handful of straggling survivors as well as Team Internet members, who have ignored them thus far.
September 2007: Finding the building empty, a small group of survivors known as 'Team Internet' have recently taken occupation of the building. It is believed that they are attempting to create one of Malton's largest post outbreak Local Area Networks using the remaining computer equipment, and they have installed a number of decorations, a generator, and a radio transmitter to further this end and hopefully make the building more useful. Other than that, their agenda and exact numbers remain unknown.
