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 Pippard Building is a NecroTech facility located in the suburb of South Blythville. Though a faceless corporate structure to the uninitiated, this facility acts as the heart of all neural reconstruction research for NecroTech within the suburb. Staff at this building commonly revive zombies at nearby revive points. This facility is one of four NecroTech facilities found in the suburb. A four-storey grey-stone building flanked by trees, the Pippard Building is a supply point for the Revivification Points at Gee Avenue (26,72) and Nicols Avenue (30,72). The Brain Rot Revive Clinic has declared the Pippard Building to be a brain rot revive point. As such, it will be unbarricaded and the BRRC does not recommend that survivors sleep there. The Preston Building provides a more secured NecroTech facility close nearby.

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.

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 Pippard Building feel certain that they can crack the mystery surrounding the spread of the virus as well as help monitor aberrant zombie activity within South Blythville.


Barricade Policy

This building should be barricaded NO higher than "VSB" at all times. This is in accordance with it being a Rot Revive clinic run by survivors, who routinely monitor the barricade level for this building. This building is meant to serve as an NT where zombies suffering from Brain Rot can be revived, and as such barricades are kept low enough for zombies to tear down easily. The VSB status also allows this building to serve as a refuge for beginner scientists and doctors. Survivors who find the building's barricades above their assigned level are asked to assist in lowering them to VSB in order to help ensure the safety of all the survivors who need to use the building as an entry point.

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 Pippard 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).

Building is ruined & ransacked. Survivors have fled to surrounding building. 80+ zeds surround it.

Nothing to report. BRRC running.
