The NecroTech logo glows gently above the front desk, and doors open onto a number of brightly-lit laboratories and computer rooms.
Description
The Starr Building is a NecroTech facility located in the suburb of Rhodenbank. Originally opened in 1986 as the suburb's leading NecroTech facility, the Starr Building was the focus of several problematic incidents involving the improper storage of biohazardous waste products on and off-site. While NecroTech eventually resolved the matter out of court it was unclear whether the chemicals were ever properly disposed of or cleaned up. To this day survivors swear that on a moonless night you can sometimes see a faint green glow coming from deep within the storm drains surrounding the facility.
After the "Malton Incident" the building was also once the supposed headquarters of the Rhodenbank Warriors, a zombie group that had once called the suburb its home turf. These days the NecroTech facility, and the surrounding area inside the suburb, is under the watchful eyes of the Rhodenbank Civil Defense Corps.
Noted NecroTech scientist, Caleb Usher, dropped by one day to wish everyone good fortune in the troubling times ahead. As to what troubles Caleb was referring to, no one knows for sure, but without a doubt trouble will sooner or later rear its ugly head within Rhodenbank as it always has in the past.
Historically the Rhodenbank Warriors made this location infamous with their attempt to siege the Starr Building and claim it as their own. During the ensuing semi-coordinated siege the zombies did manage to successfully knocked-down the building's barricades. However, to their general dismay, it was only after accomplishing this task that they learned none of their group members possessed the Memories of Life skill. The result of which meant that none of them could open the simple closed door that stood between them and entry into the building they so desired. Among local survivor groups this earned the Rhodenbank Warriors a fair degree of ridicule. Among zombie groups it became an example of what not to do when planning a siege. In an unrelated issue the Warriors were also nicknamed, "The Poor Spellers" due to their consistently poor spelling habits.
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. They have been charged with governing the Orome Avenue (82,4) revivification zone and seeing to the restoration of life to all zombies located therein.
Orome Avenue is one of the RCDC's main revive points within the suburb. It is suggested that scientists and other NecroTech personnel use this building to restock on revive syringe supplies.
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.
Barricade Policy
In accordance with the Rhodenbank Civil Defense Corps barricade plan the location should be Extremely Heavily barricaded at all times. The true purpose of this building is to serve as a heavily fortified shelter for Malton's veteran survivors.
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 Wallbutton 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). Out of respect for the Dulston Alliance and the continued work of Caleb Usher to secure the NE corner, Liberal Pi and his associate Ottari issue Necronet reports from this building as an early warning system to survivors dwelling in the safest corner of Malton.
