RE-ANIMATION ON THE TURBINES
(A Clan TAG Production)
Created by: Plasma Blades

"Welcome to New Mombasa's Water Processing Plant! Here at NMWPP we have the best technology, the friendliest atmosphere, and the kindest employees!"

It all hit the fan about five days ago. The whole facility lost power, we were trapped inside, the electronic doors wouldn't budge. The boss's keycard's for the outer doors were pretty damn useless at that point. Nonetheless, things seemed fine at first. All we needed to do was just wait it out, wait for the power to come back, right? Wrong. Halfway through day two some of us started to get thirsty. Well at least we were at a water processing plant, right? Wrong again. Some of the employees tried to drink it, but they didn't realize that no power means that the filtration systems were out.Then they started to change. Must've been something in the water, who knows. At first they just seemed physically weaker than all of us. By the evening of day three they couldn't even be understood, almost like something mutated their vocal chords. By nightfall their ability to reason was lost, any form of conciousness gone with it. I was woken up by the terrified cries of a worker near me. One of the affected individuals was on top of my co-worker, clawing at her throat. None of us could stop him, we couldn't help her. Hell, we didn't want to help her when she started behaving like one of them. Me and a small group of the survivors managed to climb up into a control room and hold ourselves at the bottom. We figured since the only way in was climbing, that we would be pretty safe, since it seemed that those affected had limited motor function. And sure, that works, but for how long?
I checked some of the battery-powered video feeds and saw another group of survivors over by the docks. It seems like they themselves had a plan. Gathering all the supplies they could they made a makeshift barricade. It seems like they're still building it, though. They have a dingy in the corner. it seems like an alright plan, but I don't think they can get too far. Who knows, maybe it'll be better to drown out there then to get mauled by the hands of the infected. From my knowledge of the plant it seems like they're near one of the old turbines used to power the facility back in the late 21st century. None of us had seen it, but that was our way out. There were three turbines around the facility, designed so that if one was damaged, the other two could provide sufficient power to get through daily needs at the plant. However, it doesn't work the same way if they're all off. They all need to be turned on to restore power in the facility. Right now we need to look at the worst case scenario. We have about half of the workers in the base of the control room. If the affected can pass on this "mutation", then it's possible that the other survivors are also "infected". That makes about half of us and half of them. We're armed but that's not promising success. Especially if they have as many people as we do. I'll try to set up a smoke signal with the remaining supplies in the control room. We'll let it burn for half an hour then head out for the turbines. With the power restored not only will the water be filtered to prevent future infections, but that will also open the door to the helipad. Since our boss isn't with us in the control room, we can only assume that he's infected. His keycard would have been helpful once power was restored, but we're going to have to rely on the smoke signals to send for help. If I don't make it, then I hope someone at least finds this journal, and knows that I went down fighting.

IMPORTANT: So, this map was designed to change the way infection is played. Infection with a purpose. If you didn't read the part above this then at least read this. There are three minor honor rules. No, you do not need to follow them, and it won't ruin the game if you don't, but if you wish to play the game as it was intended with fairness in mind then you should follow them.
1. The humans must jump down from the spawn (The zombies can get up there but it's time-consuming and challenging).
2. Zombies must go to where the teleporter directs them to. In other words, no walking backwards to try to get elsewhere. Note that there is a teleporter that requires you to jump on two boxes and turn left, not continue going straight.
3. Once all the turbines are activated the humans must go to the helipad.

OBJECTIVES:
Humans:

Activate all the turbines. You can all travel in a giant group but you might not make it to the helipad in time for evac. Splitting up into groups can work but you need a way to communicate with all the other groups to see if they've activated the turbines
Get to the Helipad. It's a good hold-out point but watch out for the Mauler.
Survive.

Infected:

You're pretty hungry, aren't you?

And now for the handful of you that are illiterate and/or really like those picture books...

The humans spawn just behind that door to the left of the picture, the respawns are under that spawn. This area is home to an AR and a shotgun.

This is the left path, built by me. There is a zombie spawn behind the wall and on in a box on the roof. Lucky you, the zombies always come from above. This path houses a flame grenade and a flare for the dark tunnel.

After you leave that dark scary tunnel, you will come upon the turbine. As with all turbines it's marked with a button. Go up to that button and press it. It gives you candy. And when I say candy, I mean a little less chance of death. There is one magnum here.

Once you go right you will get under the docks. A group of survivors made their last stand here. It seems like part of the path has flooded. Don't fall in. You won't die, but since you can't see, you're a pretty delicious meal for the kind of psychopathic individual who enjoys a filling breakfast of flesh.

This is the right turbine. Not much to say about this. Though there was a plan B for these survivors. Check the dingy.

If you go forward, through the ice room then you'll get to this turbine. Just climb your way up the stairs to get there.

Welcome to the center turbine, and if you did this tactically then it is your last turbine. There's a pistol here. Enjoy it.

So, why would that tactically be your last turbine? Because it's closest to the helipad. Why is that such a good thing? Well, if you haven't noticed, there is very little ammo on the map, and none of it respawns. The helipad is your pot of gold at the end of the blood-soaked rainbow. There are two SMG's, two AR's, a spike grenade, and a flame grenade that all respawn. There is also a missile pod for that Mauler that I metioned earlier.

This my un-hygienic, brain-craving friend, is your home. This is the Zombie hub. Now if you go look at the first picture you will notice a box in the upper right. How many of you scrolled up and looked? Good for you. That box is your starting spawn. However, the only exit is a two-way node back to your home. The point of this box is to have an accurate attack. If you see those delicious red dots on your motion tracker go left the you go through the two-way and also go left. If they go right, you go right. If they split up, send each of your arms through two ways, and go through the third. When you respawn, the teleporters work the same way. Left is left, right is right. There are two teleporters on each path. The one on the left brings you closer to the start of the path, the one on the right closer to the end. Behind the spawns and two way node are the teleporters to the helipad. This was a very long caption.

HUMAN TIPS:

You're orange. It's your work jumpsuit. You should probably kill anything that isn't orange.
Try to trick the zombies. Go right for three seconds at the start and then go left. Who knows, it could work.
Try to make yourself bigger than the zombies. It might scare them away if they get intimidated.
Save the missile pod for the Mauler. It helps.
The flare can be used to either blind the zombies or as a light in the scary tunnel. If you're scared of the dark, I suggest the latter.
You can take multiple hits, but you will die eventually.
The right turbine does not require you to go in the water. If you fall in cause you thought something was going to rip you apart, you must jump to get out.
The pistol can get you out of many sticky situations. A single headshot kills any non-mauler zombie.
If you're the last one you have enhanced motion tracker. Call it our gift to you before you die.
Stick together.

ZOMBIE TIPS:

Read the caption under the last picture.
Use the Mauler to your advantage. When you pick up a custom power-up you will be about twice as strong as other zombies and can pick up weapons, particularly the mauler at the base of the custom power-up. Use this to your advantage.
Coordinate your attacks. If you see very few humans going to the forward turbines, send more of you greenies that way.
If you want to rush their spawn go through the first teleporter on your right. You will get there just as they do.
Kill the oompa loompa looking things. Go for the ones that aren't shiny first, they taste the best.
Yes, they have guns. Running at them from afar will not help much.
Hide. Each turbine area has at least one good place to hide.
You take multiple hits. So don't lunge. use those claws to get in as many rapid hits as you can.
If your dinner gets to the turbine before you attack next, strafe, jump, and swerve to waste that pistol ammo.
Don't eat the yellow snow.

RANDOM FACTS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HELP YOU SUCCEED:

Each path is 42 seconds long, there and back. The game is three minutes long. Better hurry.
There are no zombie spawns at the turbines. This was designed so that the humans would fight there and fight back, leaving the turbine as a rest spot. However, this doesn't mean the zombies cannot camp a turbine before you get there.
No, my name is not Thompson Aaron Garcia. If you noticed the box in the first picture before you read the caption on that last picture, then you can probably find out where that name came from.
There is a sniper rifle with 4 shots.
The map longshore has to do with the map ghost town because both follow the same water campaign.
This took me over two hours to type. It will take someone 2 minutes to scroll down, check out the pictures, and look at something else. Don't. I will find you if you do.
This map took under a week to build.
The map is breakable since we hit the budget.
Each turbine is marked by a button that is remarkably good at holding weapons.
The mechanism works by flipping a ghost, which pushes down a fusion coil to blow up a grav-lift. The grav lift run-time minimum is set to 1.
I may make a territories game that will work will this so that you get a point for reaching the helipad.
This map has been tested at last nights Custom Games Night. You are a bad teammate if you throw a flare at your friend. Especially when it blows up and three zombies are running at them.
This map supports 6-16 people.
This map is really fun, but only if you know what you're doing.
It's cruel that your post seems twice as long in this small box.
Opening the bridge on this map makes a funny noise. That's all it does.
If the scary tunnel doesn't seem scary now, it will when the gloomy effect is on in-game.
We were going to color code the boxes but realized that it is barely noticeable with the effect on.
Originally the effects were going to be Juicy and gloomy. We only had enough for 1.
