- “Find a way off the aircraft carrier during a surprise outbreak aboard the vessel.”
- ―Mission Briefing
Mayday is the third map of the Eternal Despair saga, created by RoachTheIntelCollector.
Overview[]
Mayday is set at an overrun aircraft carrier in the midst of its voyage to Europe. The map is split into two main areas, the lower decks of the carrier, consisting of a launch bay, and two large hangars. As part of a hidden easter egg, players can gain access to a hidden arms cache within the first hangar, containing a shipment of usable Tesla Guns from Call of Duty: WWII.
A staircase leading up to the runway can be found here. On the runway are several unusable jets, as well as plenty of supply crates. There are a couple of catwalks on the sides of the ship, leading to several platform containing anti-aircraft turrets. The ship's bridge can be accessed by continuing up the staircase all the way to the top.
Story[]
The chopper soon lands on an aircraft carrier anchored in port on the United States eastern seaboard, which has been converted into a floating safehaven for survivors. As the five reached the hangar bay, which had been turned into a large shelter area, the carrier's captain informs the survivors that the United States has been given permission to sail to Europe, where they will remain until the infection is disposed of in the states. Just before the carrier would set sail, Nictis managed to board, disguising himself as a human.
A week into the voyage, Nictis manages to sneak into the cargo hold, where he had stored the Mask of Nictis. Using the mask, Nictis begins another outbreak aboard the ship by turning nearly all of the military personnel and civilians aboard into zombies. As the ship soon fell into chaos, the five heroes attempt to escape, but find themselves stranded on the carrier with the undead hordes. With no other choice, the five proceed to fight for their lives, all while searching for a way off of the vessel. Eventually, the team is able to reach the bridge, where they discover that there was an emergency rubber dinghy inside a compartment within the second hangar. Traveling to the second hangar, they are able to obtain the dinghy and begin to move it towards the aircraft elevator.
However, Nictis, still in his human form, appears from the shadows of the room, saying it has been a long time. Nictis transforms back into his original self, startling the heroes. Nictis soon warmly greets Samantha, saying that he had missed "his little girl". Confused, Samantha asks what he was referring to, saying her father was Ludvig Maxis, who had perished at the hands of Edward Richtofen. Nictis says that Maxis was her father, but reveals that he was merely her adoptive father. Nictis then uses his powers to conjure the departed soul of Maxis, manifesting himself into a small hologram on the palm of Nictis' hand. Maxis then reveals to Samantha the cold truth; she was adopted, saying that he found her just as a newborn on the streets of Germany all alone. Nictis soon explains that she was born in the Cursed Realm, but Nictis deduced that the Cursed Realm was too dangerous to raise her in, so he sent her to Earth to be raised by someone else until Nictis could find a way out of the Cursed Realm himself.
Maxis apologizes to Samantha, saying that he wanted to tell her for so long, but was unable to gain the courage to do so. Samantha forgives him, and Nictis peacefully returns his soul to his resting place. Nictis soon tells Samantha that they have to catch up on lost time, grabbing ahold of her arms. Nictis then apologizes to the other four, saying that they have outlived his usefulness to him before snapping his fingers, teleporting away with Samantha. At that moment, the ship begins to explode as it rapidly sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Throwing the dinghy over the side of the elevator, the team jumps overboard just as the ship explodes completely. As they swim to the dinghy, they watch as the carrier sinks to the bottom of the ocean in a fiery blaze. Climbing aboard, Higgins realizes that Nictis would now be heading to the resting place of the Dark Scepter. Higgins soon mans the helm of the dinghy, saying that it was going to be a long night as the group proceeded to travel northeast.
