| Noted NecroTech scientist, [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]], received his first promotion here, to 1st-class lab technician, as a reward for his all his efforts in establishing improved information networks throughout Dulston and [[Pescodside]]. This was considered a NecroTech PR victory by senior executives, as they felt their corporate image had suffered due to the rumors of NecroTech's involvement in the current pandemic, namely the "[[Malton Incident]]". NecroTech staff here often work in tangent with research personnel stationed at the [[The Bridgman Building|Bridgman Building]] to the northwest, but just as often send scientific staff into [[Rhodenbank]] to work at the [[NecroTech Rhodenbank#The Starr Building|Starr Building]] or the [[NecroTech Rhodenbank#The Carlyle Building|Carlyle Building]] due to common interests in syringe manufacturing research.
| | In April 2007 the Whitlock Building eventually won over the hearts of the survivor group known as [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] (E.L.T.) and they claimed the popular building as their headquarters. The ELT were well-known for their dedicated efforts in maintaining Dulston's power grid and its members could be spotted all over the suburb until they returned "home" for some light sleep. In time the ELT, like so many other groups, passed into history, but even though they were gone their dream of a fully-powered Dulston lives on in the hearts of Dulston's survivors. |

| | It would be until January 2008 before another survivor group claimed ownership of the Whitlock Building. At that time the Whitlock Building became the HQ, and name-giver, to a survivor group known as [[W.A.R.|Whitlock Assist and Rescue]] (W.A.R.), which would later became known as [[W.I.Z.A.R.D.|Whitlock Initiative for Zombie Revivification and Deliverance]] (W.I.Z.A.R.D.). However in January 2009, only one year later, the group chose to officially disband with several of its original members choosing to join other groups within the [[Dulston Alliance]]. |

| '''December 21st, 2008''' - The Whitlock Building is currently ruined with 7 zombies inside. Will it be reclaimed before Taco Tuesday? No one can answer that question.
| | {{BurbNewsIntro}} |
| | |
| '''December 18th, 2008''' - [[D.I.T.P.S]] recon reported that the facility was overrun with 5 zombies inside.
| |
| | |
| '''December 11th, 2008''' - [[Metal Fox]] reported that there were 3 zombies inside the abandoned facility. The building itself was ruined.
| |
| | |
| '''December 9th, 2008''' - [[D.I.T.P.S]] recon reported that the facility was still ruined, but that it was being held by only two zombies, both of whom were in sorry shape (3 HP and 6 HP respectively). No doubt efforts by the [[Dulston Alliance]] to "soften-up" their target. As it stands it would be a simple operation to reclaim the once mighty "Fortress of Science". What's unclear is how much effort would be required to repair the building once recaptured.
| |
| | |
| '''November 12th, 2008''' - Just the day after Canadian scientists here at Whitlock finished commemorating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day Remembrance Day] and American scientists paid tribute to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day Veterans Day] zombies burst into the facility and overwhelmed its few remaining defenders. Thankfully every scientist, or anyone who was still alive at the time, was able to enjoy one final Taco Tuesday prior to the breach. Witnesses reported spotting members of [[W.I.Z.A.R.D.]] defending the taco cart with their dying breathes. Reports that their rallying cry was "Free tacos for all! Down with zombie anti-taco oppression!" is ''highly'' unlikely.
| |
| | |
| '''November 2nd, 2008''' - The building is Extremely Heavily barricaded at the time, but due to sabotage, we lack a generator for power. The lack of power really messed up the clocks around the facility which had only just been set for the end of Daylight Savings. Even so, this shouldn't interrupt Taco Tuesday as the stoves are gas powered.
| |
| | |
| '''November 1st, 2008''' - The building is barricaded and powered. A recent scan indicated there were 98 zombies in the immediate area, although only 7 zombies are outside the "Fortress of Science".
| |
| | |
| '''October 31st, 2008''' - It is said that during Halloween night a lone blimp flew across the darkened skies over [[Dulston]]. Unconfirmed sightings indicated that the small blimp was piloted by none other than noted NecroTech scientist [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]]. The scientist, having departed Malton many months ago, was reported to have rained an assortment of candies from the blimp down upon any unsuspecting survivors or zombies who happened to be outside at the time. The blimp circled the "Fortress of Science" three times (or 'thrice' as it were) before sailing up into the clouds. One survivor even claimed to have [[:Image:AVeryCalebHalloween.png|a blurry photo of the blimp silhouetted against the moon]].
| |
| | |
| '''October 19th, 2008''' - The building has been reclaimed by the [[Dulston Alliance]] and friends, for the greater good. Odds are good that, even though the building is under siege by a dozen or so zombies outside, Taco Tuesday will pull through. Mmmmm. Tacos.
| |
| | |
| '''October 8th, 2008''' - Horror of horrors! Today 5-10 zombies managed to breach the Fortress' defences and get inside the lobby. Survivors rallied against the assault and are fighting them, but it's unclear as to the outcome.
| |
| :'''Update''': Tragedy has befallen the most beloved building in all of [[Dulston]]. No, not the [[Treweeke Mall|mall]]! The "Fortress of Science" has fallen! Even as I write these words no doubt filthy zombie hands are touching our stuff, and then breaking it. ''Goddammit''! And we just got the lab furniture just the way we wanted it. There was this red couch we found at the mall, very affordable (free), and a couple of the guys had helped carry it over while we checked out colour patterns for the new office curtains- [end of report].
| |
| | |
| '''October 4th, 2008''' - Whitlock stands tall for over a day. It looks like Dulston may be retaken soon. --[[User:Yonnua Koponen|Yonnua Koponen]] 14:19, 4 October 2008 (BST)
| |
| | |
| '''September 22nd, 2008''' - [[D.I.T.P.S]] recon reported there were 6 zombies inside Whitlock, and another 3 zombies outside.
| |
| | |
| '''September 19th, 2008''' - Rumor has it that [[The Big Prick]] is coming here from the SW. [[User:Asheets|Asheets]] 18:40, 19 September 2008 (BST)
| |
| | |
| '''September 15th, 2008''' - Zombies hold this "fortress" along with the rest of Dulston and the horde, growing as normal, are spreading out along the neighboring suburbs, but we are not leaving Dulston either, so don't get your hopes up. [[User:drummer1492|drummer1492]] 19:09, 15 September 2008 (CST)
| |
| :'''Update:''' "I vote for less commas. And another thing, the zombies have been given a formal notice to vacate the Fortress of Science, if for no other reason than for the sake of the tacos. Did they ever once think of the tacos? No! The people won't stand for it! On an unrelated note there are plenty of tacos outside Malton, but I'm not eating any as a show of solidarity with my old friends at Whitlock." --[[User:Mobius187|Noted NecroTech scientist, Caleb Usher]]
| |
| ::I thought of the Tacoes. Seriously though, stop pretending you don't go on here! [[User:Yonnua Koponen|Yonnua Koponen]] 22:29, 27 September 2008 (BST)
| |
| | |
| '''September 14th, 2008''' - [[The Electric Light Torchestra]] recon reported that the building was in ruins. At this time there were 3 zombies inside the building and 4 zombies outside.
| |
| | |
| '''September 5th, 2008''' - [[Dead vs Blue]] reported that the Whitlock Building was back in survivor hands. This in considered a valuable piece of real estate which appears to be at the top of everyone's list of places to "own", so [[Dulston Alliance]] operatives have been called in to help support the facility's defenses and keep in it survivor hands. In other news, the taco cart was set upright again, correcting the terrible travesty from the previous day's attack.
| |
| :'''Update''': Another turn in the tide of war, 17 zombies managed to break into the Fortress of Science and kill the facility's noble defenders. [[Bounty Hunters Unltd.|Bounty Hunters Unlimited]] reported that there were still 17 zombies inside and another 11 more zombies outside. The building was ruined.
| |
| | |
| '''September 4th, 2008''' - With the zombie occupational forces at Whitlock recently PWNED, once again [[PKing|murderers]] have stepped in to do the zombie menace's dirty work. For shame! [[Dead vs Blue]] [http://iwrecords.urbandead.info/09-04-08_0200hrs_PUBLIC/IN_92-5_Trying_to_be_ni_a64-f62-eb9.html reported] that an attempt by wanted fugitives [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=459420 Canderous Ordo], [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=709580 everyone in here], [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=662977 He's dead Jim], and [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=704013 gaybait] to hinder and assault the Whitlock Building's defenders will not succeed. No matter how much they huff and puff.
| |
| :'''Update''': [[PKing|Killers]] aside, a small horde of 20+ zombies, composed of [[Infected Swarm]] and ferals, overran the building's defenses and knocked over the taco cart. Why they knocked over the cart is unclear, but it's certainly upset a lot of Whitlock's staff. I mean, those who weren't viciously mauled to death by zombies.
| |
| | |
| '''September 3rd, 2008''' - The Fortress of Science is barricaded to EHB, with a generator, and several survivors inside. The only feasting here will be that of Taco Tuesday, on the 9th. [[User:Yonnua Koponen|Yonnua Koponen]] 12:20, 3 September 2008 (BST)
| |
| | |
| '''September 2nd, 2008''' - [[D.I.T.P.S]] reported there were 20+ zombies inside the facility at this time and no survivors.

| '''February 23rd, 2008''' - Once again, we find the Fortress in an endless tug-of-war for control, often with the building ending up ransacked.<br> But, with a healthy resistance going (and promise of tacos) the situation is hopeful! --[[User:Doctor How|Doctor How]] 19:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

| |
| :'''Update''': Hope springs eternal, as the building's residents wonder whether Whitlock will hold until the next Taco Tuesday. The fact that the taco cart has been recovered and is in good condition speaks well for this possibility. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 18:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

| '''February 9th, 2008''' - Three days shy of Taco Tuesday, the Whitlock Building has fallen to [[the Second Big Bash]]. Survivors will need to do without their beloved tacos until such time as the building is recaptured and the taco stand re-secured. God willing. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]]
| |
| | |
| '''February 8th, 2008''' - Perhaps drawn by the smell of the cookers warming up for the next Taco Tuesday, [[the Second Big Bash]] has rolled into Dulston like a late-March thunderstorm. Treweeke is taking the early hits as survivors flock in to the Fortress, horrified by the speed of the strikes. And as another winter storm rolls over and dumps another foot of snow on the city, the citizens of Dulston bunker down, realizing that the winter is far from over... --[[User:Boris|Boris]] 23:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

| '''February 4th, 2008''' - W.A.R. has been working at Whitlock for some time now, but with no real zombie threats to the facility the new survivor group has yet to prove their merits to the other inhabitants of the facility. Even so, there are high hopes that they will prove that W.A.R. really is the way to go. ;) --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 15:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

| :'''Update''': Noted NecroTech scientist [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]] had this to say, "I accept this great honor, I promise to lead everyone towards our common goal, namely constructing a giant robot from which we can crush all zombies as though they were insignificant bugs! Yes! Oh, and laser-beam eyes, tha-." Of course Caleb's long-winded acceptance/megalomania speech was cut-off prematurely when it became obvious that he could hardly be placed in charge of Whitlock when he was, in fact, no longer in Malton, having escaped many months ago in a gyrocopter of his own manufacture. "Caleb Sightings" are now associated to those unstable individuals who spot Big Foot or UFOs.

| '''January 5th, 2008''' - The survivor group Whitlock Assistance and Rescue ([[W.A.R.]]) have renamed their group Whitlock Initiative for Zombie Revivification and Deliverance ([[W.I.Z.A.R.D.]]). The group felt its previous named sounded far too combatitive for its actual goals, namely reviving survivors and defending the Whitlock facility.
| |
| | |
| '''January 1st, 2008''' - The place has had lights on for days,(other than occasional blackouts caused by Ruben Kincaid) it's pretty heavily populated. Relatively few hostile zombies in the surrounding area, and needles are being stuck into spines at a good rate at [[Duport Avenue]]. No overbaricading problems, the entry point is still open.

| '''December 25th, 2007''' - While combat continues throughout the suburb the "Fortress of Science" stands strong once more, safely in survivor hands. Scientists returning to the building are advised that lab clean-up duties will be assigned according to whoever ran first during the tragic attack back on the 18th. NecroTech encourages loyalty and being the best defender, or meat shield, you can be!
| |
| | |
| '''December 21st, 2007''' - Survivors have retaken the Whitlock Building. There may yet be hope for next Taco Tuesday.
| |
| | |
| '''December 18th, 2007''' - Tragedy of tragedies! The building is [[Infected Swarm|swarming]] with the undead and, is completely ruined. One can only imagine how the loss of Taco Tuesday will affect local scientists.
| |
| | |
| '''December 16th, 2007''' - While the Fortress still stands, to the best of my knowledge, it is beginning to show chinks in the armor. A breach was reported last night, and as of last report four zombies were still inside (though considering the amount of traffic the place gets that's probably changed). Don't get complacent, Dulston- that's what's lost us the rest of the suburb. --[[User:Boris|Boris]] 17:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

| :'''Update''': The Fortress of Science has fallen. In a joint effort between the [[Infected Swarm]] and the [[Militant Order of Barhah]] the Whitlock Building was overwhelmed and ruined with little resistance. --[[User:Captain Grisum|Captain Grisum]] 04:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::'''Update''': Noted NecroTech scientist, [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]], had this to say on Captain Grisum's comments, "I seriously question the facts behind the phrase 'little or no resistance', as the building held over 40 survivors at the time, and they all fought valiantly against overwhelming odds. Recon reports indicated that while only a dozen or so zombie stood outside, the other zombies were hiding nearby, possibly cowering (for the lack of a less inspiring verb) at [[Duport Avenue]] or 'playing dead' until the zombies could strike full-force. Bottom line, yes the zombie did overrun Whitlock, but the building did not fall without a fight."
| |
| | |
| '''December 11th, 2007''' - The "Fortress of Science" stands strong, although reports that both [[the Inman Building]] and [[the Waish Building]] south of the border have fallen has certainly put a damper on Taco Tuesday. Of course, the scientists here march forward, doing what they do best... SCIENCE!
| |
| | |
| '''December 2nd, 2007''' - While zombies may currently infest northeast Dulston the Whitlock Building remains, as noted NecroTech scientist [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]] put it, "A Fortress of Science". Is there no zombie force strong enough to take on its defenses? Not since the [[LUE]] attack has the Whitlock Building known defeat. These days it's a hectic schedule of Mai Tais and rooftop badminton. The scientists stationed here certainly have no fear of zombies.
| |
| | |
| '''November 23rd, 2007''' - Now there are 5 lonely zombies within scanning range, and none of them are outside. Of course this works perfectly fine for the staff here at the Whitlock.
| |
| | |
| '''November 22nd, 2007''' - The zombies have moved around a little, but Whitlock remains safe without any zombies outside and now only 6 zombies within scanning range. Most of the zombies appear to still be in the northeast corner of Dulston.
| |
| | |
| '''November 21st, 2007''' - Only 7 zombies were reported via NecroNet scan today, and none happened to be outside Whitlock. The largest group, of 4, were actually across the border in [[Rhodenbank]].
| |
| | |
| '''November 16th, 2007''' - Not much to report. [[Infected Swarm]] tried to overrun the building, with the important word here being ''tried''. They failed. When will they learn? Whitlock is a "Fortress of Science"! On the other hand [[the Trood Building]] has been getting the short end of the stick lately what with all their zombie problems just this month alone. <s>God, we're all happy we're not over there.</s> We wish them the best of luck.
| |
| | |
| '''October 13th, 2007''' - Local zombies have been beaten back as their numbers have plummeted over the past 2 months, which shows in [[Dulston|Dulston's]] "Safe" suburb rating. At this time there is no more than 9 zombies within scanning range and 5 of those number are standing at [[Duport Avenue]] looking for revives. It can be safely said that survivors securely control this area and that zombies are once more under our heel. Long live the [[Dulston Alliance]]!
| |
| | |
| '''September 16th, 2007''' - [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=686098 Deathwire], the [[DITPS]] Chief of Staff for [[Dulston]], had this to report, "Well, Whitlock is currently powered down. Some [[Parachuting|parachuter]] blew the generator up and proceeded to make an idiot out of himself before being properly disposed."
| |
| :'''Update''': Survivors are asked to be on the look-out for a [[Undeadites|Undeadite]] [[death cultist]] named [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=875528 Stibbs The Zombie], as he recently was reported tearing down the barricades inside the Whitlock building's lobby in an effort to let zombies inside. The tactic succeeded initially, as several zombies did manage to get inside, but thanks to survivors the attack was halted. The whereabouts of Stibbs The Zombie are unknown at this time.
| |
| | |
| '''September 14th, 2007''' - 147 zeds in the scanned area, but note that DNA scanning has been a low priority, so the scan numbers will be artificially low. --[[User:CloseCall|CloseCall]] 06:16, 15 September 2007 (BST)

| '''September 6th, 2007''' - The Whitlock Building has been attacked, and the upwards of 20 survivors were killed.

| '''September 4th, 2007''' - The new NecroNet report from the recently re-captured Whitlock Building really puts our situation into perspective. With the number of scanned zombies at 200+, it looks rather grim for [[Dulston]], and confirms the "[[suburb|red suburb]]" status. At our current numbers, should the zombies converge on any one building, we would be powerless to stop them. --[[User:Kikashie|Kikashie]] 23:34, 4 September 2007 (BST)

| '''August 29th, 2007''' - After the fall of [[Treweeke Mall]] and many of the surrounding buildings to the combined efforts of half a dozen zombie groups and the work of radical killer cult groups, many of of the ruined structures including the Whitlock Building stand mutely empty with the following message scrawled in blood, "All your base are belong to us."
| |
| | |
| '''August 11th, 2007''' - A new scan shows absolutely no zombies around Whitlock, but there's a critical amount of 39 undead at [[Anne General Hospital (Dulston)|Anne General Hospital]] in the north-east.
| |
| | |
| '''August 1st, 2007''' - There are now only 12 zombies within the scanned NecroNet area, as once again zombie numbers decrease within proximity to the fortress of science that is Whitlock. During the conflict so far only the [[Eastonwood Ferals]] have ever posed a significant threat to this building.
| |
| | |
| '''July 31st, 2007''' - NecroNet scans revealed a sharp increase in zombie activity as 27 zombies were detected within its area. While most of the zombies were scattered 12 zombies were detected at [[Warehouse 95,1|a warehouse]] to the northeast. The status of the location is unknown, but due to its nature one can only assume that it will not last long against a determined, hungry mob of zombies.
| |
| | |
| '''July 24th, 2007''' - Recent information has led some survivors to believe that the Whitlock Building may come under siege, due to information posted by the [[Infected Swarm]]:
| |
| :''...The Swarm have been renewed and [[Dulston]] will fall, with the return of the founding members Captain Grisum and Vachon Blaze a statement was released "With new allies moving in it will only be a matter of time before Dulston is Undead. The Whitlock shall see what is coming in the next 72 hours we have begun to put in place an Alliance of Evil with our Brothers and Sisters that will change the face of Malton..."''
| |
| This information, coupled with increased zombie activity in north-eastern Dulston and the possibility of other zombies means that the Whitlock Building, and Dulston in general, could be in for trouble in the next few days. Whether this is cause for alarm or merely zombie propaganda has yet to be seen. --[[User:Kikashie|Kikashie]]
| |
| | |
| '''July 15th, 2007''' - After a break-in yesterday where three zombies attacked and injured several survivors inside Whitlock, the zombie density around the NT building has reached an all-time low. But according to scientific experience, this status won't probably remain for very long.
| |
| | |
| '''July 6th, 2007''' - With 40 zombies standing outside [[Anne General Hospital]] today's NecroNet report shows that trouble is brewing over there and [[DITPS]] probably has its hands full right now.
| |
| | |
| '''July 3rd, 2007''' - Today's NecroNet scan showed that there were 11 zombies standing at [[Weston Crescent Fire Station]]! No doubt this is a zombie plot to try and steal Dulston's fire engines! How nefarious... but they will not get far as every spark plug in the city was destroyed as a precaution. One many regret since it led to no vehicular transportation for survivors. Well you know what they say about hindsight being 20/20... (*cough*).
| |
| | |
| '''June 29th, 2007'''- There seems to be a scuffle between long time residents Far Kinell and Dante Noctis. Things have turned physical and Necrotech lab staff are requesting that they take their fight to a different part of town so that ongoing experiments will not be disturbed.
| |
| | |
| '''June 24th, 2007''' - The [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] have scanned the area and confirmed there are currently only 9 zombies and none of them are outside the Whitlock Building. Also today marks the first use of a new tracking method, whereby the ELT will chart and compile zombie numbers over the course of each day in order to better graph their increase or decrease in the suburb.
| |
| | |
| '''June 21st, 2007''' - One day they're gone, and the next day there are 12 zombies in the area. Currently 2 zombies are banging on the doors outside and another 3 zombies are standing at the [[Duport Avenue]] revive point. Hopefully those 3 are not hostile and are simply seeking revival services. The remainder of the zombies are mostly scattered.
| |
| | |
| '''June 19th, 2007''' - After several days of reported, the [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] has shown a progressive pattern of decreased zombie activity in west [[Dulston]] as only a single zombie stands within scanning range. Word of zombie sightings and attacks in east Dulston, though, have increased.
| |
| | |
| '''June 13th, 2007''' - A NecroNet scan from the [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] show that there are currently 18 zombies in the area, with most of them being on the border with [[Rhodenbank]] and the largest mob, of 6 zombies, milling around [[Townsend Bank]].
| |
| | |
| '''June 10th, 2007''' - The answer to yesterday's question seems to be: to the [[The Bridgman Building|Bridgman Building]]. The scan shows that there are 5 zombies outside, but what it doesn't show is that there are actually 5 zombies inside, posing a threat to the 13 survivors gathered there.
| |
| | |
| '''June 9th, 2007''' - A drastic drop in zombie numbers indicates that activity in the area around the Whitlock building has decreased dramatically as ni zombies stand outside the building and only 5 scattered zombies stand within range of the scan. the question still remains, where did all the zombies go?
| |
| | |
| '''June 7th, 2007''' - Today's count show the number of zombies has remained static at 13. Unlike yesterday though there are now 5 zombies outside of the Whitlock building. As such, barricades will be raised to fend off the potential attack.
| |
| | |
| '''June 6th, 2007''' - Scans show a continue drop in recent days of zombie activity. Possibly due to increased zombie hunting or zombie movement. At this time the scan picked up only 13 zombies in the area, but with only 2 outside the Whitlock Building itself.
| |
| | |
| '''June 5th, 2007''' - The [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] have issued their daily NecroNet report for the area. This scan indicates that there are now 22 zombies within scanning range of Whitlock. A drop from yesterday, but it now appears that they are attacking [[Weston Crescent Fire Station]], as a group of 6 zombies were shown to be at that location. Meanwhile the mob outside [[Anne General Hospital (Dulston)|Anne General Hospital]] has dropped to 3 zombies.
| |
| | |
| '''June 4th, 2007''' - A recent NecroNet report issued by the [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] has indicated increased zombie activity in the area with 27 scattered zombies detected. Of these 5 zombies standing outside [[Anne General Hospital (Dulston)|Anne General Hospital]] and may prove at threat to the hospital.
| |
| | |
| '''June 3rd, 2007''' - A recent NecroNet scan shows increased zombie activity outside the [[The Bridgman Building|Bridgman Building]], in the order of 6 zombies. Due to the increased zombie activity across the suburb an alert has been called in and the occupants of the sister NT building warned of the situation brewing just outside their doorstep.
| |
| | |
| '''May 29th, 2007''' - The Whitlock Building was under attack by zombies, again, and the [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] reported they found 2 zombies inside the building. The zombies were promptly exterminated as per [[Dulston Alliance]] policy on the matter and the barricades were raised to try and fend off the attackers. Efforts to use cans of the new "Zom-B-Gone" have failed miserably as the zombies seemed unperturbed by its pine-fresh scent. Building staff will attempt to spray lemon-fresh on them at the next opportunity.
| |
| | |
| '''May 15th, 2007''' - Today everyone who knew noted NecroTech scientist [[User:Mobius187|Caleb Usher]] celebrated the semi-famous, lukewarm-illustrious survivor's birthday with free tacos for everyone. This celebration served to remind newer survivors of the <s>awesome</s> <s>great</s> <s>superior</s> ''egomaniacal'' kind of man that he was when he was in Malton and working from the Whitlock facility. So let's raise a delicious taco in his name!
| |
| | |
| '''May 4th, 2007''' - The [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] just issued a new NecroNet report. It shows very little zombie activity around Whitlock, there have been no serious attacks recently. Is this only the calm before the storm? Survivors are advised to stay vigilant, to keep the cades at vs+2 and not to combat revive.
| |
| | |
| '''April 27th, 2007''' - The attacks on Whitlock by zeds from the [[Eastonwood Ferals]] continue. Again, several survivors were killed. There are currently 47 survivors still inside, confronted by a mob of eleven zombies, also inside the building. The barricades are up to VS+2.
| |
| | |
| '''April 26th, 2007''' - There have been frequent zombie attacks on Whitlock. At least eight zombies attacked recently, mainly [[Eastonwood Ferals]], and at least one zombie from the [[Killer Zombie Tomatoes]]. Nine survivors were killed in the last attack. Defences, as in those helping barricade, appeared to be too weak to prevent these losses. Some survivors have already voted for a higher barricade level (than VS+2).
| |
| | |
| '''April 20th, 2007''' - Again, zombies attacked Whitlock, killing several survivors. At least four, but maybe all of the attackers belonged to the [[Eastonwood Ferals]]. To quote some informations on their current operation in Dulston: "EF forces will get stationed there for the week to come to evaluate the situation in the so called "green" suburbs.
| |
| | |
| '''April 19th, 2007''' - After at least three zombies had been milling around the Whitlock building, there was a zed intrusion, four persons were killed. Among the casualties was the co-leader of the [[Electric Light Torchestra]], [[user:Balcony Jedi|Balcony Jedi]]. It is not clear if the attack especially targeted that member of the new management of Whitlock or if he was killed coincidentally. The other persons killed are gray hand, Conster and Donkyhotay. All the technical equipment has been destroyed in the attack.
| |
| | |
| '''April 17th, 2007''' - After [[The Big Bash]] and [[Mall Tour 07]], a new threat to Dulston is emerging. The [[Dulston Destruction Tour]] is officialy recruiting members. To quote their page: "The storm is brewing". Time will tell if the DDT will be able to recruit enough members; survivors are advised to prepare for the worst.
| |
| | |
| '''April 15th, 2007''' - The [[The Electric Light Torchestra|Electric Light Torchestra]] have claimed the Whitlock Building as their group's headquarters. As the group is well known in [[Dulston]] for their efforts in maintaining the suburb's power grid survivors hope that this focused effort on the NT building will mean it can be kept running 24/7 without fear of [[GKer|vandalism]]. In turn the ELT hope to shore-up their numbers and thus eventually improve efforts to maintain the power supply for the entire suburb.
| |
| | |
| The first official action was issuing the current NecroNet report. Zombie activity in Dulston seems low, but over-barricading Whitlock causes serious concern. The only concern would be from the 3 zombies currently standing outside [[Parrott Towers]].
| |
| | |
| '''February 28th, 2007''' - [[Treweeke Mall]] has fallen into zombie hands. In the carnage of the mall's collapse survivors have retreated to fallback buildings in the surrounding area, but [[Mall Tour '07]] is not through yet. Unhappy with the weak resistance they encountered at the mall the horde marches now against new targets, among which include the Whitlock Building! Survivors inside the building brace themselves against the fury of the horde...
| |
| :'''UPDATE:''' Tragedy of tragedies! The Whitlock Building has been overrun by the Mall Tour zombies. Survivors are asked to stay calm and evacuate in an orderly fashion, unless already dead. The [[Dulston Alliance]] has been informed of our situation, but they stress that currently the Alliance is working to maintain barricades on the other targets the Mall Tour is still attacking, namely the [[The Waish Building|Waish Building]] and [[Pegrum Place Police Department|Pegrum Place PD]]. As such, it is unclear as to when survivor support will come to clear the building.
| |
| | |
| '''January 14th-17th, 2007''' - After almost 3 months the [[Shamblin' Crooners]] have returned to the Whitlock Building yet again to serenade the NecroTech scientists while they work. Reports were sketchy as to whether there were any fatalities during this impromptu 4-day concert.

| |
| | |
| '''November 15th, 2006''' - Members of [[DORIS]] persist in their claims of controlling all Dulston. Taking a page straight from ''Conquerors 101'' DORIS has instigated a policy whereby local buildings and streets throughout the suburb have been renamed by their group, in this case, the NecroTech facility is now known as the [[DORIS/New_Baghdad|WMD Research Facility]] as far as DORIS is concerned.

| '''October 14th-18th, 2006''' - The [[Shamblin' Crooners]] have returned to the Whitlock Building yet again to serenade the NecroTech scientists while they work. Reports were sketchy as to whether there were any fatalities during this impromptu 5-day concert.
| |
| | |
| '''September 10th, 2006''' - The combined might of zombies from the [[The Big Bash|Big Bash]] and the [[Minions of the Apocalypse]] proves to be too much for the facility's defenders. Once a second front in the battle to defend [[Treweeke Mall]], the Bash and Minions zombies have now occupied it, forcing its shutdown. During this epic battle many survivors from [[Dead vs Blue]] here killed, trying valiantly to "hold the fort".
| |
| | |
| '''September 9th, 2006''' - This is Girit Robbins of the [[DDDS]] reporting in with today's zombie report. There are nearly 500 members of the [[Big Bash]] within the scan range of the Whitlock Building. In the last five days there has been a five-fold increase in zed activity. The barricades in [[Treweeke Mall]] occasionally go down, but seem to be holding. Much of the suburb has less than optimal barricades, but the [[Dulston Alliance]] is working on that. One thing that should be noted is NEVER attempt combat revives. Barricade and heal, but do not combat revive zombies. If you do this will allow dedicated zombies the chance to earn Free Running through GK and PK. This has happened on several occasions at the mall. Also there are 57 dedicated survivors waiting for revival, so save your syringes for them. There is also heavy zombie activity in the northeast, but the numbers are unknown at this time. Later today I will scout the area and provide an updated list of their numbers.--[[User:Giritrobbins|JP]] 16:26, 9 September 2006 (BST)

| '''September 4th, 2006''' - Today's Necronet scan of [[Dulston]] shows that there are over 100 zombies in our fair suburb. This scan does not reflect those which have not been tagged, moved into the area recently or are outside the scan area. With the [[Big Bash]] moving into the area it is imperative we monitor their movements and stay mobile. This scan also does not show the entire suburb which may bring the numbers of standing zombies well past 150. Also a long line of survivors are waiting for revives at [[Dulston Streets#Duport Avenue|Duport Avenue]], so lets get them revived because we need them to make our stand. --[[User:Giritrobbins|JP]] 16:19, 5 September 2006 (BST)
| |
| | |
| '''June 30th, 2006''' - Today's Necronet scan of [[Dulston]], showing a 9x9 around the Whitlock Building revealed nearly 70 standing zombies. This scan does not include zombies that have not been tagged. Also it does not include [[brain rot]]ted zombies or anything east of [[Dulston Streets#Woodborn Avenue|Woodborn Avenue]]. This may bring the number of zombies in and around Dulston to well over 100.
| |
| | |
| '''May 25th, 2006''' - After more than a month of peace and quiet, the silence of beeping lab computers was broken by the return of the [[Shamblin' Crooners]]. With thei usual flare they broke inside the building and began their concert. Work schedules throughout the building were disrupted as scientists fled, fought, or listened to the zombie rockers. No matter how you look at it, the Crooners put some ''unlife'' into an average work day at NecroTech.

| '''April 6th, 2006''' - More ''Z!ng, Z!ng'' from the [[Shamblin' Crooners]]. Will the scientists of the Whitlock Building ever be able to get enough? Probably, but the Shamblin' Crooners keep on dishing out the tunes.

| '''April 1st, 2006''' - After their initial warm welcome and success here a few days ago the [[Shamblin' Crooners]] made a return performance to satisfy all their fans who still hungered for more ''Z!ng, Z!ng''. Again, the only fatalities were all good natured ones.

| '''March 26th, 2006''' - The [[Shamblin' Crooners]] made their usual grand entrance and entertained everyone inside with their famous "break-in & concert" style of zombie rock. Some humans were eaten. Some zombies were shot. Bottom line, everyone had fun. Rock on Crooners, rock on...

| '''February 15th, 2006''' - Today's NecroNet scan of [[Dulston]], showing a 9x9 block grid, revealed absolutely no tagged zombie activity in the area at this time. Dulston had apparently earned its moniker "DULLston" with good reason. NecroTech staff hotly debate relocating to monitor the situation developing at [[Caiger Mall]], where mass zombie sightings have provided invaluable information to NecroTech Industries.

| '''February 5th, 2006''' - With the final stages of our satellite relay uplink finally setup, our staff are finally able to begin issuing [[NecroNet]] reports on zombie tracking throughout the area. NecroTech welcomes all survivors to take advantage of this new resource and staff here are advised to assist by submitting new reports. Standard procedure dictates that only one report be added per day, but should the need arise, due to a sudden surge in zombie activity, new reports can be added for either comparison purposes or to replace an existing report. | | '''September 23, 2010''' - KFTW! Dulston reports that the "Fortress of Science" is once again in human hands. Leader Donut3 has installed a generator in the building and is waiting for some fuel.

| '''February 1st, 2006''' - The [[Malton Iditarod]] has declared that the Whitlock Building will act as the seventh checkpoint in this famous cross-Malton survivor race. It is important to note that this location was not selected as a safehouse, merely a navigational reference so that the racers hit all four corners of Malton. The entire northeastern corner of the city is heavily infested and should not be considered a safe place to stay overnight. All Iditaroders are encouraged to save up their stamina and sprint through [[Paynterton]], [[Dunningwood]], [[Pescodside]], and [[Dulston]] in a single dash. Good luck to all Iditaroders!

Dulston [92,5]
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
The Whitlock Building, aka "The Fortress of Science", is a NecroTech facility located in the suburb of Dulston. Though a faceless corporate structure to the uninitiated, this facility has been long considered the primary manufacturer of Revivification Syringes for NecroTech within Dulston. Outfitted with NecroTech's latest automated mass-production laboratories, staff here work night and day to produce a large stockpile of syringes capable of dealing with any major zombie outbreaks. Whitlock NecroTech staff often work in tangent with research personnel stationed at the Bridgman Building to the northwest, but just as often send scientific teams into Rhodenbank to work at the Starr or Carlyle Buildings due to common interests in syringe manufacturing research.
The Whitlock Building, at twenty-five stories, is the third-tallest building in the suburb of Dulston, with only the Parrott Towers at thirty-three and Andow Towers at an imposing fifty-eight floors, reaching greater heights. The Whitlock facility was named after NecroTech co-founder and area native, Professor Graham Whitlock. In fact, his portrait- complete with ridiculous handlebar mustache- can be found hanging all over the building. Some of the paintings' eyes have been reported to move at times, but these rumors have been attributed to paranoia, a common mental trauma among Malton survivors. Professor Whitlock was notable in that he developed the original chemical compound, icenodrine sceptimus, that eventually (through heavy experimentation) became the secondary catalyst in the common-day NecroTech Revive Syringe, as well as the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola.
The Whitlock Building has had a long and proud history. Among the everyday tragedies and triumphs there were a few notable occurrences recorded. For example, it was here that noted NecroTech scientist, Caleb Usher, received his first promotion to 1st-class lab technician as reward for his all his efforts in establishing improved information networks throughout Dulston and Pescodside. The event was considered a NecroTech PR victory by senior executives outside Malton, as they felt their corporate image had suffered considerably due to the rumors of NecroTech's involvement in the current pandemic, aka the "Malton Incident".
In early-2007, Caleb Usher returned and spent significant time at the Whitlock Building while working on his new thesis, "Malton Siege Tactics: A Theorem Basis for Survival Attrition versus Zombie Mental Exhaustion (i.e. Boredom)". Caleb touted that his thesis, once completed and analyzed by the scientific community, would help explain basic principles by which survivors could survive even the largest and most determined zombie sieges. "It's simply a matter of factoring in specific zombie mental variables. As you can see here my study graphs indicate that zombie resolve in any endeavor weakens progressively over time, but when interacting with positive mental stimulus events, like successfully breaching barricades, it reverts the decline significantly although still proportional to the level of success. Therefore one could postulate that if sieging zombies were prevented from obtaining this 'success' stimulus that eventually they would depart in order to seek it elsewhere. Zombies cannot die, but they can apparently be bored to death, so to speak. Am I boring you? You look bored-"
In April 2007 the Whitlock Building eventually won over the hearts of the survivor group known as Electric Light Torchestra (E.L.T.) and they claimed the popular building as their headquarters. The ELT were well-known for their dedicated efforts in maintaining Dulston's power grid and its members could be spotted all over the suburb until they returned "home" for some light sleep. In time the ELT, like so many other groups, passed into history, but even though they were gone their dream of a fully-powered Dulston lives on in the hearts of Dulston's survivors.
It would be until January 2008 before another survivor group claimed ownership of the Whitlock Building. At that time the Whitlock Building became the HQ, and name-giver, to a survivor group known as Whitlock Assist and Rescue (W.A.R.), which would later became known as Whitlock Initiative for Zombie Revivification and Deliverance (W.I.Z.A.R.D.). However in January 2009, only one year later, the group chose to officially disband with several of its original members choosing to join other groups within the Dulston Alliance.
Dark days followed for Dulston's survivors and by August 2008 the Whitlock Building became home to the Malton Green Garden of the Angry Vaginas, a zombie group dedicated to keeping Dulston ruined. This was their mandate, and it was one that they had successfully kept in effect for some time.
As of September 2009 the Whitlock Building became home and HQ to the Zombie Resistance Movement (Z.R.M.), a survivor group dedicated to the elimination of the zombie threat and occasionally of those who sought to exploit it.
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. They have been charged with governing the Duport Avenue revivification zone and seeing to the restoration of life to all zombies located therein.
The activation of NecroNet with all NecroTech buildings has also allowed scientists to apply the DNA tracking research they have gathered to date. Standard protocol dictates that all staff be equipped with a standard issue DNA Extractor to tag any zombies they come across during field research.
Affiliates
To date research staff at the Whitlock Building are working hand-in-hand with survivors located in nearby resource buildings, namely:
- Treweeke Mall (92,7 x 93,8)
- St. Anacletus's Hospital (93,3)
- Gable Walk Fire Station (89,5), in Rhodenbank
It should also be noted that, due to rotating shifts, NecroTech staff commonly move between The Bridgman Building (91,2), The Wallbutton Building (89,3), The Carlyle Building (89,4) and The Starr Building (89,6). The Electric Light Torchestra can also be turned to for help, as they maintain the building by keeping it powered and barricaded.
Revive Points
The closest point is Duport Avenue to the north at (92,4).
Barricade Policy
This building's barricade level has been designated as EHB in the Dulston Optimal Defense Diagram, a strategic barricade policy that is enforced by all member groups of the Dulston Alliance.
NecroNet Reports
The following 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 Whitlock 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):
Please keep in mind that the Whitlock Building is the blue-coloured square in the very center of each 9x9 grid. Of note, Treweeke Mall is the 2x2 almost white coloured area located near the bottom of the grid. It should also be noted that the square to the immediate north is Duport Avenue, a popular revive point.

List of Dedicated Whitlock Staff
The following is a list of survivors who, for one reason or another, have chosen to make the Whitlock Building their home during the outbreak. These individuals can be considered dedicated to working here and assisting survivors local to the area, such as by reviving those who wait at Duport Avenue. If you are interested in being recognized as one of these individuals, all you need to do is add your name to this list:
(Note: This list, by definition, includes all W.I.Z.A.R.D. members, but is not limited to.)
