Excuse me Gordon, but I’m rather busy now.
Weren’t you supposed to be in the test chamber half an hour ago?
You’ll just have to wait until after the test.
Please, leave me alone until after the experiment.
I can’t be bothered right now.
As I expected.
Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?
Now where did I leave that shutdown procedure chart?
Most of the simulator results are perfectly acceptable, you know.
I wonder if I should run that test again…
Oh, somebody's hidden my glasses again...
Yes, this all looks nominal.
I must remember to report that fluctuation.
That’s odd…
Good morning, Gordon.
Big day today, Gordon.
The sample was just sent down to the test chamber.
Greetings.
My god, what are you doing?
Freeman.
Ah, hello, Gordon Freeman, good to see you.
Hello.
Hello there.
Nyaeh, hello Gordon.
Lead the way.
I’ll wait right here.
Why, just look at those peculiar markings.
Glad to oblige a fellow scientist.
I’ll wait.
I hope those people in the lambda lab can get this under control.
Let’s go.
I don’t suppose you’d reconsider.
I hear something.
All right.
I’m slowing you down, am I?
I certainly hope you know what you’re doing.
Have I been that much of a burden?
Fine. You won’t even know I’m here.
I’ll stay here.
Well, the dimensional breach is definitely transmitting organic matter.
I seem to be wounded, but I can keep going.
Well, I seem to be seriously wounded.
I suspected this would happen, but the administrator would not listen.
Who is responsible for this mess?
You are from the anomalous materials labs, yes, I recognize you.
It appears the containment system has completely failed.
I predicted all of this, you know. ALL of it!
Fascinating. I never suspected such things could be.
A failure of this magnitude is extremely improbable.
I don’t think I can last much longer.
Yes.
With my brains and your brawn, we’ll make an excellent team.
Wouldn’t you like to get one of these blood samples under a microscope?
I refuse to take another step!
Well, there goes our grant money.
How interesting. Just look at that!
Yes, let’s go.
Freeman! How good to see you.
I don’t want to do!
Get back!
This is madness! I’m getting out of here!
Did you understand that last announcement?
I’ve got to get out of here.
Stop! He’s a friend!
I just want to get out of this alive!
Ah! Freeman! I see you are in his mess, too.
Who is responsible for this mess?
Do you have no idea what’s going on? Do you?
The alien species can’t possibly all be hostile.
Yes..?
Are you insane? Stop attacking immediately!
The military, you say?
Do you have any idea what to do next?
Do you smell what I smell?
Did you hear something?
Stop attacking! He’s a friend!
It can’t get any worse than this.
Shouldn’t we try to capture a specimen?
Lot of good a Ph.D does me now, hm?
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
We have got to get out of here.
Will we ever make it out of here?
I have no doubt.
Shouldn’t you be guarding some donuts and coffee right about now?
Don’t you have more important thongs to be doing than keeping me from my work?
Please, leave me alone! I have very important work to do.
I suppose a security guard should know what he’s doing. Let’s go.

Did you see it? They say it swam up from the Challenger Deep, but i swear that beast never swam in terrestrial waters until a week ago!
There's a tranquilizer gun in the shark cage, while i wouldn't go for it myself, you're welcome to try.
Alright, I'll let you out, but I'm warning you, it's hell out there! It's completely under military control! You'll have to sneak and fight your way across the base, and i don't expect you'll meet many of our peers along the way. (All i can recall of this one.)
Don't linger, Freeman! There's no time to lose! You've flooded the pumps, now head up to the core! Without delay!
Freeman! You made it!
So this is the guy? We thought you'd never make it!

Good Morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit system. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa research facility personnel. The time is 8:47 a.m., current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from level three dormitories to sector C test labs and control facilities. If your intended destination is a high security area beyond sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in sector G and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to a retinal client system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted to enter the high security branch of the transit system. Due to the high toxicity of the materials routinely handled in the Black Mesa Compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking is permitted inside the transit system. Please keep your limbs in the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete stop at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instructions. If it is necessary to leave the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please, stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives. A reminder that the Black Mesa hazard course decathlon will commence this evening at 19:00 hours, in the level 3 facility. The semi-finals will later be announced in the secure access train. Remember, more lives than your own may depend on your fitness. Do you have a friend or relative who would make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa team? Immediate openings are available in the areas of: materials handling, and low clearance security. Please contact Black mesa personnel if you would like to sponsor someone. If you have any education in the areas of theoretical physics, unusual technology, or other high-end disciplines, contacts the Black Mesa facility. A reminder to all personnel: Regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Missing a scheduled analysis or check-up is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other materials, contact your head of duties and contact your radiation safety officer immediately. Work safe, work smart, your future depends on it. Now arriving at sector C test labs and control facilities. Please stand back from the automated door, and wait for the security officer to confirm your identity. Before exiting the train, be sure to check you area for personal belongings. Thank you, and have a very safe and productive day.
Security guard: Good morning, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you’re running late.
Files officer: Hey Mr. Freeman, I had a bunch of messages for you but we had a system crash about 20 minutes ago, and I’m still trying to find my files. One of those days, I guess. They were having some problems in the test chambers too, but I think that’s all straightened out. They’ve told me to make sure you headed down there as soon as you got into your hazard suit.
Suit: Welcome to the HEV mach 4 protective system. For use in hazardous environment conditions. High impact reactive armor systems activated. Atmospheric contamination sensors activated. Automatic medical system activated. Vital sign monitor online. Automatic defensive weapon system activated. Munitions level monitor activated. Communications interface online. Have a very safe day.
Guard: Go right on through, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you’re on the barrel today. (Sorry sir, I have specific orders not to let you through with out your hazard suit.)
P.A: Sergeant Bailey to topside checkpoint bravo.
Control room scientist 1: Ah, Gordon, here you are. We just sent the sample down to the test chamber.
C.R.S. 2: We’ve boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105 percent. Bit of a gamble, but we needed the extra resolution.
C.R.S.3: The administrator is very concerned that we get a conclusive analysis of today’s sample. I gather they went to some lengths to get it.
C.R.S.1: They’re waiting for you Gordon. In the test chamber.
Panel scientist 1: Quick, it’s about to go critical!
P.S. 2: What the hell is going on with all our equipment?
P.S.1: It never worked in the first place.
P.S.1: I must remember to report this situation…
Test chamber scientist 1:I’m afraid we’ll be deviating a bit from standard analysis procedure today Gordon.
T.C.S2: Yes, but with good reason. This is a rare opportunity for us, this is the purest sample we’ve seen yet.
TCS1: And, potentially, the most unstable.
TCS2: Now, now, if we follow standard insertion procedures everything will be fine.
TCS1: I don’t know how you can say that, though I will admit that the possibility of a resonance cascade scenario is extremely unlike-
TCS2: Gordon doesn’t need to hear all this, he’s a highly trained professional. We’ve assured the administrator that nothing will go wrong.
TCS1: Ah… yes, you’re right. Gordon, we have complete confidence in you.
TCS2: Well, go ahead. Let’s let him in now.
Control room scientist 1: Testing? Testing? *ahem* Everything seems to be in order…
CRS2: Alright Gordon, you suit should keep you comfortable through all this. The specimen should arrive in a few moments. If you would be so good as to climb up and start the rotors we can bring the antimass spectrometer up to 80 percent and hold it there until the carrier arrives.
CRS2: Very good. We’ll take it from here.
CRS1: Power to stage 1 emitters in 3, 2, 1…I’m seeing predictable phase arrays. Stage 2 emitters activating…now.
CRS2: Gordon, we cannot predict how long the system can operate at this level, nor how long the reading will take, please, work as quickly as you can.
CRs1: Overhead capacitors to one-oh-five percent. Uh, it’s probably not a problem…probably, but I’m showing a small discrepancy in-well, no, it’s probably well within acceptable bounds again, sustaining sequence.
CRS2: I’ve just been informed the sample is ready, it should be coming up to you any momenet now. Look to the delivery system for your specimen.
(CRS2: Standard insertion for a non-standard specimen. Go ahead, Gordon, schlump the carrier into the spectrometer.
CRS4: Wh-what is he doing in there?
CRS2:Nothing you need to worry about, Gordon. Heh, ah, just go on ahead.)
CRS1: Oh dear!
CRS2: Gordon! Get away from the beams!
CRS1:Shutting down…(no!) Attempting shut down…It’s not! It’s not shutting down, it’s…
(screams)
(Gordon’s breathing)
PS1: why didn’t they listen? We tried to warn them. I’ve never thought I’d see a resonance cascade, let alone create one.
PS2:Gordon! You’re alive! Thank god for that hazard suit! I’m afraid to move, and the phones are out. Please, get to the surface as soon as you can, and let someone know we’re stranded down here! You’ll need me to activate the retinal scanners. I’m sure the rest of the science team will gladly to help you.
Guard: Gordon! Man, am I glad to see you. What the hell are these things? And why are they wearing science team uniforms?
Barnacle Sci: Gordon Freeman! Who would’ve thought you’d still be alive?
Couch sci: Gordon, if I’d know it was you I’d have let you in. Everyone’s heading for the surface. But I think they’re crazy not to stay put. Someone is bound to come by and rescue us.
Guard: Hey, don’t count on the cavalry finding us down here. Head for the surface. I know we’re out of orders, but we can still climb.
Elevator Sci: I…I can’t hold on…much longer…ahh!
Silo Sci: For god’s sake, open the silo doors! They’re coming for us! It’s our only way out-oh my god, we’re doomed!
Grunt sci: Rescued at last! Thank god you’re here.
Grunt sci2: Don’t shoot! I’m with the science team.
Grunt1: I didn’t sign up for this shit. And the civilians?
Grunt2:Who ordered this operation?
Grunt2: I shot twelve dumbass scientists and not one of ‘em falls back! This sucks.
Silodoorsci2: Well. So much for the government. Their idea of containment is to kill everyone involved with the project. Judging from your hazard suit, I’d say you were part of what went wrong. Aright, now look. If anyone can end this catastrophe, it’s the science team in the lambda complex at the opposite end of the base. With the transit system out, I couldn’t tell you how to get there. But there’s an old decommissioned rail system somewhere near here, beyond the silo complex. If you can make it through the rocket test labs, you might be able to worm your way through the old tunnels to track down whatever’s left of the lambda team. You can trust them, you can trust all of us. Good luck.
Tappersci: Fire the rocket engines…destroy the damn thing before it gets any larger…STAH!
Tapperbait: No! No! Get it off me! Get it off! AH!
Tapperguard: Be quiet! This thing hears us. I have a bad feeling about this.
Tapperguard2: Hey! Hey, over here! Eat lead, you outer-space octopu-agh! Oof…
Generatorsci: I hope no one expects me to start up the generators. Smithers went down there and never came back.
Smithers: This is my hiding spot, and I’m not moving until the overall situation has drastically improved. Now, go way, and don’t tell anyone I’m here. Ah! Oh dear.
Generatorsci: Excellent! Someone has restored all power! We’ll have the engine up again in no time.
Gargguard: Mister, if you can get the power on, that train’ll take us straight to the surface. I would try it myself, but it’s a long way down to the generator room. And there are things in the way…
Gargguard: I’m never gonna make it. You better go on without me.
Railguard: Freeman! I’ve been waiting for you. One of your scientist pals said to give you a message. You’re supposed to take this old rail system up to some kind of satellite delivery rocket. I don’t know where it is exactly, and the old man was so worried about getting out of here alive he didn’t tell me. Main thing is, the military aborted the launch. So, when you do find the rocket, you’ll have to get up to the control room and launch it yourself. He said something about a lambda team needing the rocket in orbit if they were ever gonna clean up this mess.
Snipergrunt1: So…who is this guy, Freeman?
SG2: They say he was at ground zero.
SG1: Science team? You think he was responsible? Sabotage, maybe?
Sg2: Yeah, maybe, all I know for sure is that he’s been killin’ my buddies.
Icthysci: Did you see? They said it was hauled from the Challenger Deep but I’m positive that beast never swan in terrestrial waters until a week ago. There’s a tranquilizer gun in the shark cage. I’m not sure if it will work on this species, but you’re welcome to try.
Freezersci: Ok, I’ll let you in. Gordon Freeman, it is you, isn’t it. The science team has been tracking your progress throughout Black Mesa with the security system. Unfortunately, so has the military. That suit of yours is full of tracking devices. Still, it’s better than going naked in this place. It’s cold in there, and you’ll have to hurry. It could zap your suit power in a matter of moments.If you’re bent on reaching the lambda complex, you’ll want to keep to the older industrial areas where the security system is full of holes. It’s worked for me- so far.
Assassinguard: Freeman, right? I have a message for ya. Make sure you don’t- augh!
KOGrunt1: Heh heh, nice hit. Ok, we got ‘im.
KOG2: Where are we taking this freeman guy?
KOG1: Topside, for questionin’.
KOG2: What the hell for? We got ‘im. Let’s kill ‘im now.
KOG1: And if they find the body?
KOG2: Body? What body?
Both: Heh heh heh…
EthicsGuard: Hey, it’s no good up there, it’s all sealed off. The only way out would be to find someone with scanner access who can open the front door. I’m pretty sure there’s a few scientists hiding somewhere in the lab. Maybe with both of us lookin’ we can track then down and get ‘em to let us out.
TauGuard: What is this, some kinda weapon?
TauSci: Put that down…it’s a prototype…
TG: Why aren’t we usin’ it?
TS: It’s much too unpredictable. Don’t overcharge it!
TG: Wha, what do you mean overch- ahhh!
Ethicsci1: A scientist! Thank god. Get us out of here before those military drones figure out where we’re hiding.
ES2: We all have retinal scanner acces. Escort us through the lobby and we can get out of the lab.
ES3: You’ll have to shut down the surgical unit first. Peter switched it on but I’m afraid he never made it back.
Any: Well, I’ll let you out. But I’m warning you, it’s hell out there. It’s completely under military control. You’ll have to sneak and fight your way from one end to the other. And don’t expect to see many of our peers along the way, but if you do survive and somehow manage to make it across the base, you’ll end up at the lambda complex, where the rest of the science team has taken shelter. I wouldn’t venture there myself, but I will let them know that you are coming.
SniperGuard: Help, help me… Somebody, please help me. I’m, I’m dyin’ out here. Please, help me…
TripSci: You’re heading for the lambda complex, aren’t you? I was heading there myself, until I wound up here and…well, simply, lost my nerve. Take one look through that door and you’ll see what I mean. I’m just going to wait out the catastrophe in here. If you intend to go on, then I beg of you, proceed with extreme caution!
GruntGuard: Hey! AHHHHHHH!
Strikeradio: Come in! Copper, do you copy? Forget about Freeman! We are abandoning the base. If you have any last bomb targets, mark them on the tactical map. Otherwise, get the hell out of there! Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing air strikes! Give us targets or get below!
Radio: Forget about Freeman, we are counting our losses and pulling out. Everyone is gathering at the surface for evac, Repeat, if you haven’t already, get to the surface.
Lambdasci: I apologize, Mr. Freeman, but I couldn’t risk opening that door until I was sure you had scoured the area. This is the last entrance to the lambda complex, ecery other has been sealed off to contain the invasion. When we realized you might actually make it here, we drew straws to see who should stay behind and let you through. Obviously, I drew the short one. My colleagues are waiting at the top of the lambda reactor. Waiting for you, I mean. The reactor is shut down right now, but you can activate it on your way up. You’ll have to flood the area anyway to get into the teleportation lab- you’re not authorized to know about those, but I can see you already know a great deal more than any one man is supposed to.
Wepsci: Were you in weapons research too? I built the gluon gun but I just can’t bring myself to use it on a living creature. You don’t look as if you have any trouble killing things.
PumpSci: Freeman, isn’t it? You’ll need to activate both pumps if you want to flood the reactor. And then that access pipe down there will take you to the core. Time is short!/Do not linger mister Freeman! You’ve turned on the pumps, now take the maintenance shaft to the reactor core without delay!

CRs1: Overhead capacitors to one-oh-five percent. Uh, it’s probably not a problem…probably, but I’m showing a small discrepancy in-well, no, it’s probably well within acceptable bounds again, sustaining sequence.
CRS2: I’ve just been informed the sample is ready, it should be coming up to you any momenet now. Look to the delivery system for your specimen.
(CRS2: Standard insertion for a non-standard specimen. Go ahead, Gordon, schlump the carrier into the spectrometer.
CRS4: Wh-what is he doing in there?
CRS2:Nothing you need to worry about, Gordon. Heh, ah, just go on ahead.)
CRS1: Oh dear!
CRS2: Gordon! Get away from the beams!
CRS1:Shutting down…(no!) Attempting shut down…It’s not! It’s not shutting down, it’s…
(screams)
(Gordon’s breathing)
PS1: why didn’t they listen? We tried to warn them. I’ve never thought I’d see a resonance cascade, let alone create one.
PS2:Gordon! You’re alive! Thank god for that hazard suit! I’m afraid to move, and the phones are out. Please, get to the surface as soon as you can, and let someone know we’re stranded down here! You’ll need me to activate the retinal scanners. I’m sure the rest of the science team will gladly to help you.
Guard: Gordon! Man, am I glad to see you. What the hell are these things? And why are they wearing science team uniforms?
Barnacle Sci: Gordon Freeman! Who would’ve thought you’d still be alive?
Couch sci: Gordon, if I’d know it was you I’d have let you in. Everyone’s heading for the surface. But I think they’re crazy not to stay put. Someone is bound to come by and rescue us.
Guard: Hey, don’t count on the cavalry finding us down here. Head for the surface. I know we’re out of orders, but we can still climb.
Elevator Sci: I…I can’t hold on…much longer…ahh!
Silo Sci: For god’s sake, open the silo doors! They’re coming for us! It’s our only way out-oh my god, we’re doomed!
Grunt sci: Rescued at last! Thank god you’re here.
Grunt sci2: Don’t shoot! I’m with the science team.
Grunt1: I didn’t sign up for this shit. And the civilians?
Grunt2:Who ordered this operation?
Grunt2: I shot twelve dumbass scientists and not one of ‘em falls back! This sucks.
Silodoorsci2: Well. So much for the government. Their idea of containment is to kill everyone involved with the project. Judging from your hazard suit, I’d say you were part of what went wrong. Aright, now look. If anyone can end this catastrophe, it’s the science team in the lambda complex at the opposite end of the base. With the transit system out, I couldn’t tell you how to get there. But there’s an old decommissioned rail system somewhere near here, beyond the silo complex. If you can make it through the rocket test labs, you might be able to worm your way through the old tunnels to track down whatever’s left of the lambda team. You can trust them, you can trust all of us. Good luck.
Tappersci: Fire the rocket engines…destroy the damn thing before it gets any larger…STAH!
Tapperbait: No! No! Get it off me! Get it off! AH!
Tapperguard: Be quiet! This thing hears us. I have a bad feeling about this.
Tapperguard2: Hey! Hey, over here! Eat lead, you outer-space octopu-agh! Oof…
Generatorsci: I hope no one expects me to start up the generators. Smithers went down there and never came back.
Smithers: This is my hiding spot, and I’m not moving until the overall situation has drastically improved. Now, go way, and don’t tell anyone I’m here. Ah! Oh dear.
Generatorsci: Excellent! Someone has restored all power! We’ll have the engine up again in no time.
Gargguard: Mister, if you can get the power on, that train’ll take us straight to the surface. I would try it myself, but it’s a long way down to the generator room. And there are things in the way…
Gargguard: I’m never gonna make it. You better go on without me.
Railguard: Freeman! I’ve been waiting for you. One of your scientist pals said to give you a message. You’re supposed to take this old rail system up to some kind of satellite delivery rocket. I don’t know where it is exactly, and the old man was so worried about getting out of here alive he didn’t tell me. Main thing is, the military aborted the launch. So, when you do find the rocket, you’ll have to get up to the control room and launch it yourself. He said something about a lambda team needing the rocket in orbit if they were ever gonna clean up this mess.
Snipergrunt1: So…who is this guy, Freeman?
SG2: They say he was at ground zero.
SG1: Science team? You think he was responsible? Sabotage, maybe?
Sg2: Yeah, maybe, all I know for sure is that he’s been killin’ my buddies.
Icthysci: Did you see? They said it was hauled from the Challenger Deep but I’m positive that beast never swan in terrestrial waters until a week ago. There’s a tranquilizer gun in the shark cage. I’m not sure if it will work on this species, but you’re welcome to try.
Freezersci: Ok, I’ll let you in. Gordon Freeman, it is you, isn’t it. The science team has been tracking your progress throughout Black Mesa with the security system. Unfortunately, so has the military. That suit of yours is full of tracking devices. Still, it’s better than going naked in this place. It’s cold in there, and you’ll have to hurry. It could zap your suit power in a matter of moments.If you’re bent on reaching the lambda complex, you’ll want to keep to the older industrial areas where the security system is full of holes. It’s worked for me- so far.
Assassinguard: Freeman, right? I have a message for ya. Make sure you don’t- augh!
KOGrunt1: Heh heh, nice hit. Ok, we got ‘im.
KOG2: Where are we taking this freeman guy?
KOG1: Topside, for questionin’.
KOG2: What the hell for? We got ‘im. Let’s kill ‘im now.
KOG1: And if they find the body?
KOG2: Body? What body?
Both: Heh heh heh…
EthicsGuard: Hey, it’s no good up there, it’s all sealed off. The only way out would be to find someone with scanner access who can open the front door. I’m pretty sure there’s a few scientists hiding somewhere in the lab. Maybe with both of us lookin’ we can track then down and get ‘em to let us out.
TauGuard: What is this, some kinda weapon?
TauSci: Put that down…it’s a prototype…
TG: Why aren’t we usin’ it?
TS: It’s much too unpredictable. Don’t overcharge it!
TG: Wha, what do you mean overch- ahhh!
Ethicsci1: A scientist! Thank god. Get us out of here before those military drones figure out where we’re hiding.
ES2: We all have retinal scanner acces. Escort us through the lobby and we can get out of the lab.
ES3: You’ll have to shut down the surgical unit first. Peter switched it on but I’m afraid he never made it back.
Any: Well, I’ll let you out. But I’m warning you, it’s hell out there. It’s completely under military control. You’ll have to sneak and fight your way from one end to the other. And don’t expect to see many of our peers along the way, but if you do survive and somehow manage to make it across the base, you’ll end up at the lambda complex, where the rest of the science team has taken shelter. I wouldn’t venture there myself, but I will let them know that you are coming.
SniperGuard: Help, help me… Somebody, please help me. I’m, I’m dyin’ out here. Please, help me…
TripSci: You’re heading for the lambda complex, aren’t you? I was heading there myself, until I wound up here and…well, simply, lost my nerve. Take one look through that door and you’ll see what I mean. I’m just going to wait out the catastrophe in here. If you intend to go on, then I beg of you, proceed with extreme caution!
GruntGuard: Hey! AHHHHHHH!
Strikeradio: Come in! Copper, do you copy? Forget about Freeman! We are abandoning the base. If you have any last bomb targets, mark them on the tactical map. Otherwise, get the hell out of there! Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing air strikes! Give us targets or get below!
Radio: Forget about Freeman, we are counting our losses and pulling out. Everyone is gathering at the surface for evac, Repeat, if you haven’t already, get to the surface.
Lambdasci: I apologize, Mr. Freeman, but I couldn’t risk opening that door until I was sure you had scoured the area. This is the last entrance to the lambda complex, ecery other has been sealed off to contain the invasion. When we realized you might actually make it here, we drew straws to see who should stay behind and let you through. Obviously, I drew the short one. My colleagues are waiting at the top of the lambda reactor. Waiting for you, I mean. The reactor is shut down right now, but you can activate it on your way up. You’ll have to flood the area anyway to get into the teleportation lab- you’re not authorized to know about those, but I can see you already know a great deal more than any one man is supposed to.
Wepsci: Were you in weapons research too? I built the gluon gun but I just can’t bring myself to use it on a living creature. You don’t look as if you have any trouble killing things.
PumpSci: Freeman, isn’t it? You’ll need to activate both pumps if you want to flood the reactor. And then that access pipe down there will take you to the core. Time is short!/Do not linger mister Freeman! You’ve turned on the pumps, now take the maintenance shaft to the reactor core without delay!

TeleSci: Gordon Freeman, you finally found us!
TeleGuard: Listen to the guy. He thought you’d never make it!
TS: This is the supply depot for our first service team. Quite a few handsome specimens were collected from the borer world and brought back this way, um, before the survey members started to be collected themselves, that is. We suspect there’s an immense portal over there created by the intense concentration of a single powerful being. You will know it when you see it. I hate to say this, Gordon, but you must kill this being.
TG: Yeah, you’d better kill it.
TS: Of course, you owe us nothing, Mr. Freeman, but you’ve come this far, you know as much about these creatures as anyone.
TG: Enough to know that if you don’t wipe it out, there wont be much for you to come home to.
TS: Yes. So, if you’re willing, my colleague is waiting for you at the main portal controls. He will open the gates for you, Mr. Freeman. Please, hurry.
TG: Don’t forget to gear up. And I’ll cover for you while you’re waiting for the portal to warm up.
TS: This, Mr.Freeman, is a long jump module, needed expressly for navigation in the world of beyond. I certainly hope you’ve received long-jump training, because once you’re in Xen, you will need it. I would advise you ot practice before you cross over.
LongJump: Power assist movement activated.
Telesci2: Hello Freeman! I’m up here! Practice your long jump if you must, but hurry up!/ Alright, I can open the portal now. The process is complicated,and once it has begun I must not be interrupted or I will have to start all over again. Don’t enter the portal until I give the ok. Understood? I will begin./ Almost there, Freeman. Get into position./ You must go! Now!
G-Man: Gordon Freeman, in the Flesh. Or, rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons. Most of them were, government property. As for the suit, I think you’ve earned it. The borderworld, Xen, Is now under our control for the time being, thanks to you. Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there. I am impressed. That’s why I’m here, Mr. Freeman. I have recommended your services to my e-e-e-e-employers. And they have authorized be to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have…limitlessss potential. You’ve proved yourself a decisive man so I don’t expect you’ll have any trouble deciding what to do. If you’re interested just step through the portal and I will take that- as a yesss. Otherwise, well, ahhh-I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning, rather an anticlimax after what you’ve just survived. Time to Cho-ose.
Wisely done, mister Freeman! I will see you up ahead.

Lefty wins 5 internets...
Alright, who started the chain again? You owe lefty 5 internets.
Now this thread is about G-Man quotes.
Rise... and... shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... Shine. Not that i wish to imply you have been... sleeping on... the job... No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the wooOOOOrrrlldd would have gone to waste, until... Well... lets just say your hour has... come again.
The right man in the... wrong- ...place... can make all the difference in the world, so, wake up... Mister freeman... Wake up and... Smell the ashes.
Time, Doctor Freeman? Is it really that... Time again? It seems as if you have only... just arrived... You've done so well, in fact, i have received some interesting offers for your services... Ordinarily i wouldn't contemplate them, but these are extra-ordinary times, hmm? *Gasps for air rather rudely in Gordon's face* Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, i will take the liberty of CHOOOOSING for you. If... And... When... your... time... Comes round again. I do apologize to what must seem to you an... Arbitrary imposition, Mister Freeman. I trust, it will all make sense to you in the course of... Well... I'm really not at liberty to say. In the mean time, these is where I get off.

*Gasps for air, seeming to make another long, boring speech* CHAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR....
*Looks around manically*
LURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
CHAAAAAAAAAAR
GA LONG!
We'll see... about THAT.
Doctor Freeeeeeemaaaaaaaannn... i realize this moment might not be the most... convenient for a heart-to-heart, but i had to wait until your... Friends... *Chuckles* Were otherwise occupied.
Hmm... *Pauses* There was a time when they cared nothing for Miss Vance, when their only knowledge of humanity was a crowbar coming at them down a steel corridor. When... I... Plucked... her... From... Black Mesa, I acted in the face of objections that she was a mere child, and of no practical use to anyone. I have learned to ignore such Nay Sayers when... Quelling them... (hmm?) Was out of the question. Still, i am not one to... Squander my investments, and I remain confident that she was worth far more than the initial appraisal, and that is why i must now... Extract... From you... Some small... ehh-repayment, owed for your own survival. See her safely to white forest, Doctor Freeman. I WISH I could do more than keep an eye on you, but i have agreed to abide by certain... Restricccccccccccctionnnnnnsssssss...
Well... Now, my dear. When you see your... Father... *Chuckles* Relay these words.
Prepare... For unforseen consequences.
