If you are reading this then odds are you have already chosen to join NecroWatch. If not, consider it as your life depends on it. Hypothetically. It is only logical that all NecroTechnicians vie for my attention in the pursuit of acquiring delicious cake. This is only natural. However, you no doubt have many questions. You wonder how the zombies came to be. You wonder why Malton forms a perfect decimal grid. You wonder why you never received a puppy on your seventh birthday even when you expressed to your parents that you would love, feed, and walk it every day. Not in any particular order. These questions have been classified as "unhealthy" and only serve to deter your success in obtaining cake. It would instead be more constructive for you to examine these resource files which I have generously provided. Please do so now.[[Image:CursorBlink.gif]] | ||

On Your Route...
Reconnaissance Map
A.L.I.C.E. has thoughtfully assembled this recon map to track the progress of licensed NecroTechnicians by name as he/she reports NecroNet scans from the many NecroTech facilities spread across the city of Malton. Delicious cake awaits...
Required Skills
The core skill behind every good NecroTechnician is of course NecroNet Access. It is only through this skill that a survivor will be able to properly operate NecroTech's array of sensor and satellites in order to properly scan an area around the facility they currently inhabit. For those who are still inexperienced with the Science Skills, the following indicates the hierarchy of skills a survivor must acquire in order to learn NecroNet Access:
It goes without saying that until you have learned NecroNet Access you will not be able to become a fully productive member of NecroWatch. But even after learning this skill one must always bear in mind that the skill is useless unless the NT building they are attempting to scan from is powered. It is because of this that veteran NecroTechnicians will always carry a spare portable generator and fuel can with them during their travels as there is nothing more disappointing than reaching a NT building deep inside a plague zone, only to find that its generator has already been destroyed. As noted, portable generators can be located while searching factories, power stations, mall hardware stores, and storehouses, but due to their encumbrance (20%) the maximum number of generators that a survivor can carry is limited. Fuel cans are commonly found while searching auto repair shops, factories, warehouses, carparks, power stations, junkyards, storehouses, and vehicle depots. As such, the best locations to search for both are factories, as the other locations these two items share in common are anything but. To wrap-up the basics, let us now assume that you have learned the NecroNet Access skill and are in a powered NT building. It is at this stage that you are finally ready to perform a NecroNet scan. By selecting to "Access NecroNet" you will be informed: "You log in, and bring up a view of DNA-scanned specimens in the surrounding area." and then will be presented with the appropriate scan which will look like this: It is at this stage that you will need to save this information so that it can be posted to NecroWatch. Further details about this process are explained in the next section. How to Report Scans
There are two standard methods of recording (saving) and reporting a NecroNet scan to NecroWatch. Both methods are acceptable, with Method 1 suggested for those users who are willing to take the extra time and effort to complete the entire process, and Method 2 to those casual NecroTechnicians who simply want to assist the NecroWatch project, but not invest the same degree of effort involved with completing the entire reporting process. We here at NecroWatch are more than willing to accept either method as no source of NecroNet information will be turned away. Please review both methods and determine which one meets your needs best. Method 1 - Manual Image Save Process
Method 2 - iWitness Quick Report
From this point onwards a veteran NecroTechnician will eventually review all pending NecroNet scans that have been posted and perform the necessary steps to convert the scan from an iWitness report into an image stored on the UD Wiki (PNG file format). Afterwards the scan post will be marked as COMPLETED so other NecroTechnicians will know when the scan has already been processed. Later the oldest scan posts will either be archived or deleted at the discretion of the NecroWatch. Method 3 - Suburb Report
