Theory about the Gman

[Vaun]

In my opinion, the gman isnt really a "man" at all, but rather an artificial construct created by some greater being, not seen by Gordon. Hes never (except by cheating or otherwise) physicly interacted with, and is completely invincible. Hes just a physical manifestation of some unseen force trying to maintane the space-time continuum.

The Black Mesa incident was both an opportunity to "recruit" people to use in the greater being's repairs of the space time continuum and to stop humans from accessing other dimensions.

The reason he kept Adrian is because of humans tendancy to die and the corporal's skills and abillity to adapt and survive through extreme circumstances. In other words, if Gordon dies, adrian comes in, but the GB thought that gordon would survive, which he has/will, both due to the game continuation, and due to the story line.

Aperature wasnt concerned because they were working on spacial teleportation, not interdimensional teleportation/transport.

actually adrian was taken my B-man to tie up lose ends, so he couldnt tell anyone bout what habbend in RC, G-man was the one to push the reactor to 105% to get an RC.

B-man? whose B-man? and the administrator of black mesa ordered the clearest reading, so they took the anti-mass spectromete up to 120%. Also, i dont think he intended for a resonance cascade, and several people who know what happened in the resonance cascade survived, such as eli, kleiner, and magnusson. If he took Adrian to keep him from talking, he would have dealt with these people too. Its more likely that gmans employers, the greater being (GB) is finding people capable of dealing with these "rips" in the continuum. Personally i havent found any information from valve stating that the gman caused the resonance cascade, as he probably didnt have any real power in BM, being that hes just some "government type that suddenly showed up one day". If gman was trying to silence survivors, he would have killed adrian, gordon, eli, etc. Him rearming the nuke was a way to decimate the xenian army, as well as deal with the portal tech that was causing the problem.

 

[wrongworld]

But there is still the lingering matter of witnesses.
I admit I have a fascination with those who adapt and survive against all odds?they rather remind me of myself.
If for no other reason, I have argued to preserve you for a time.
While I believe a civil servant like yourself understands the importance of...
discretion, my employers are not quite so trusting and rather than continually subject you to the irresistible temptation of telling all, we have decided to...
convey you somewhere where you can do no possible harm, and where no harm can come to you. I'm sure you can imagine that there are worse alternatives.

he did take adrian from so he didnt talk, and he dont seem to interfer physicaly, so thats why he couldnt take the rest.

 

[Vaun]

Then by your logic he couldnt take gordon or adrian either. Also, if you played opposing force, he rearms a nuclear warhead to destroy the facility. That would be near-direct intervention. If he didnt want the events of the resonance cascade happening, he would have stopped it from occuring, which i speculate he attempted to do...

 

[wrongworld]

adrian and Gordon wouldnt have manage to get out by them selves, thats why he could take em and not the others

 

[Vaun]

Then why not leave them stranded to be killed on xen/in the nuclear explosion? Eli was down near the AMSM and at one point was attacked by a bullsquid, losing his leg, so he definitly wouldnt be able to escape, and all the other scientists trapped down there. The only logical reason he took them is to have them perform militant service to maintane the ballance of the continuum.

 

[wrongworld]

thats why he took Gordon, not the reason why he took Adrian, if thats a theory, its also a theory that G-man have employers.

maybe he do have Adrian in stasis or similar to use if Gordon fails, but its not the reason why he took Adrian.

 

[Vaun]

Well theres no other reason other than to ensure adrians survival for later action. The gman himself is an artificial construct created by a higher/superior being (alien in origin) for purposes of maintanance and defence of the planet. Other uses are speculated but unknown, possibly needed to destroy the combine since prior to the resonance cascade.

 

[wrongworld]

nonono, G-man sells Gordons services, so he aint a good guy, and him beein an artificial construct is just a theory, maybe he is from Aperture :naughty:

 

[Vaun]

He is definitely not from aperature, its highly unlikely the portal gun was functional prior to black mesa, and even then, how would the gman have so much insight into the resonance cascade, the arming procedures (and codes) for a nuclear warhead, etc. Not to mention his control of temporal stasis. The only plasable idea is that he has some kind of higher being controling his general actions.

Him taking gordon AND adrian is like this:

A taxi drivers employer orders him to pick up someone and take them to a destination, but that doesnt mean he cant get another far headed to the same location and make sure he makes an efficient money-saving fare (factoring in fuel and such), and just in case one is short on money, the other has him covered, you understand what im saying?

 

[wrongworld]

dosent make much sence to me no

Gordon is taken because G-man recommented Gordons services to hes employers, and they agreed with G-man that if would be a good idea.

Adrian on the other hand, wasent such a limitless potential, but he did like him because he adapted and survived against all odds, and because of that he didnt kill him, but he did put him a place where he coudnt do any harm, telling someone about that habbend

and this is not to argue, its fact

 

[Vaun]

Do no harm meant both he couldnt cause more damage to their plan, and since people escaped, telling anyone what happened is completely irrelevant. Gordon is the primary, Adrian is their contingency plan, that is undisputable. Telling people is irrelevant because several people survived the incident, such as dr. rosenburg, barney, kleiner, etc. Thats a fact, as well as a nuke going off in new mexico wouldnt go without people noticing. This is also a fact. Its pointless to keep saying "to stop freeman/shephard from talking" because SEVERAL PEOPLE ESCAPED BLACK MESA and easilly could have told everyone!

 

[crowbared]

I think g-man is somekinda of stalker like some combines ....

 

[alyxvance]

the Gman is not human.
proof: "you are a man he is not a man, for you he waits, for you"

 

[Druckles]

the Gman is not human.
proof: "you are a man he is not a man, for you he waits, for you"

Yes... for you he waits.

Isn't it clear? It means that he's waiting for you to grow up so that you can be the G-man. It's evident that's who he is.

 

[Headcrab Pie]

Well theres no other reason other than to ensure adrians survival for later action. The gman himself is an artificial construct created by a higher/superior being (alien in origin) for purposes of maintanance and defence of the planet. Other uses are speculated but unknown, possibly needed to destroy the combine since prior to the resonance cascade.

Ummm....where exactly did you get this idea?

 

[Van Kayne]

We know he was prepared for the unforeseen consequences and it was him who ordered to boost the mass spectrometer to 105%. So it was him who started the resonance cascade.

No, the Black Mesa Administrator (Breen) ordered it. G-man is not the Administrator.

We know he is invincible, he can teleport without an ASHPD or Teleportation Device,he can freeze the time and take the people into the void.

We don't know that he's invincible.

We don't know even would he return at the end of HL2 to save Alyx again. If he would, he planned to do it not in front of Gordon, I reckon.

Er, what?

Aperture Science is no way linked to Gman.He don't use its equipment and don't interfere its plans and strategies.But he might know about Borealis and might use it in his plans.

He does know about Borealis, or otherwise he wouldn't have sent Alyx, would he? There's no evidence either way that he interfered with Aperture.

His plans are totally mysterious, but he had the employers. They weren't Combine, because if they were, Breen wouldn't afraid of Gman and Gordon so much.

We don't know anything about his employers, except that he hired Gordon's services out to the highest bidder, and that bidder wasn't the Combine (or else I'm sure HL2 would have been a lot different).

So he has the force sufficient to destroy the Combine.

We don't know this for certain. Although he does have Gordon, and I imagine Gordon is perfectly capable of destroying the Combine. Mathematically, the statement is true, but not if you factor in Gordon's choice.

 

[kineaesth]

I imagine Gordon is perfectly capable of destroying the Combine.

... Really?

 

[Van Kayne]

Well, with a lot of guns and stuff Ain't that what we're doing right now?
