“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 border world Xen is in our control for the time being thanks to you, quite a nasty piece of work you've managed over there, I am impressed. That’s why I'm here Mr. Freeman, I have recommended your services to my... Employers... And they have authorized me to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have limitless potential. You've proved yourself a decisive man so I don’t expect you will have any trouble deciding what to do. If your interested just step into the portal and I will take that as a yes… Otherwise… Well… I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning. Rather an anti-climax after what you’ve just survived.”
I thought that a few things have been overlooked from this statement. First of all he said the border world is under OUR control. This means he has to be working for earth, Black Mesa or the military since they control it. Second, he said THEY for his employers, which means they are more than one person. Third, he has spoken to his employers after what happened since he said ‘they agree with me.’
And the most interesting part is ‘they have authorized me to offer you a job’. Since the next thing Gordon does is defeat the Combine in about 10 years later, does this mean his employers KNEW that would happen?
Just thought I would say because I have seen questions about G-Man that can be answered in this speech.
