are Eli Vance & Dr. Kleiner the scientists Barney helped escape Black Mesa in BS?

[Goethe]

It's been a while since the last time I played that game. I remember at the end of HL:BS we see Barney escape of Black Mesa with Dr. Rosenberg and some other scientists. Were these other scientists Dr. Kleiner and Eli Vance?

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Nope, those were Walter (bald guy) and Simmons (black guy).

 

[Danimal]

I killed Eli and Kliener, in HL1 AND HL2

 

[ríomhaire]

Is Eli the guy in HL1 that say in a realy creepy voice
"Now Gordon, go. Into the test chamberrr."*shuder*
When I herd that I knew something bad was going to happen

Eli's the guy you meet after the Resonance Cascade. He's talking to the other scientist. "We tried to warn them!" He operates a retinal scanner after, to let Gordon through.

You never see Dr. Kleiner in HL1.

Yes, Eli voice magicly changed

 

[ríomhaire]

Yes, Eli voice magicly changed

He got older, thats what people do (except Peter Pan)

 

[BRODIEMAN2k4]

I think Eli is a little old for puberty

ah... you mean those two scientist you can see before going to the elevator? :smoking:

 

[tembleofbu]

The one in the lower right is Dr. Kleiner?

 

[sfc_hoot]

That's Walter Bennett.

 

[ríomhaire]

Was Kleiner the guy from trainig who read out the insurance thing in HL1 or was it mustach man?
It was something along the lines of
"Black Mesa will not be held responsible blah blah blah burning blah blah blah radiation poisoning blah blah blah wounds gashes etd. blah blah blah."
That un-nervedme a little

The only reference to Kleiner in Half-Life 1 was in Gordon Freeman's letter, which you see in the HL1 users manuel. Dr. Kleiner himself wasn't in the actual game.

what does the letter say about Dr. Kleiner?

 

[sfc_hoot]

He basically got Gordon his job at Black Mesa, by recommending him to the administration.

 

[kirovman]

That's Walter Bennett.

Walter was a planethalflife.com creation.
Gearbox mentioned him in Opposing Force and used him at the end of Blueshift, but I wouldn't call him an official storyline character. He's kind of a joke, but I didn't like it how Gearbox used him seriously in Blueshift.

Dr Kleiner is clearly based in the "Glasses" model of the half-life 1 scientist. Eli is based off the other scientist, forgot the model name. Our only previous reference to Dr Kliener is the Game Manual for Half-Life 1.

These 2 characters may have lockers somewhere in Black Mesa, can't remember. If someone could have a look around in HL1 and confirm if they have lockers? my copy isn't installed.

Also the other models are named Einstein and Slick.

I miss Einstein "Now now if you follow standard procedures everything will be fine"

what does the letter say about Dr. Kleiner?

That he recommended you for the job at Black Mesa. IIRC he was a tutor at MIT, or you worked with him for a period around that time.

 

[OD-Black_Fire]

Dr Kleiner was Gordons professor in MIT
