The squad leader and his friend were among them. Upon opening the door, there were 5-6 people, sitting in a half-circle around the room, all smiling eagerly at the nurse who just arrived. She walked downed to the hallway towards the room to which she was summoned. The squad leader then proceeded to pick up the telephone.Ī skinny-legged nurse was summoned to the room. The two friends laughed about their predicament, but then, in a hushed tone, the friend suggested that they need more allies. It would seem that they were rescued and brought to the hospital. They were in the same room, joking among themselves. The squad leader and his friend were recovering in the hospital. The squad leader's yell of pain was muffled by an eerie silence. The squad leader stared in surprise, too late to react to his friend who leaped forward and bit hard into the neck. Following the big BOOM from the grenade, he walked up, only to encounter his close friend and several others, who have become mindless zombies. He then threw a grenade into the next room and looked all nonchalant and cool. He sought to enter the building alone to find and rescue me, for he was a really close friend.Īnd so, he went in, like a badass, firing his guns at the badly modeled aliens. It was also revealed that I was a close friend of the squad leader. It was then that the manager of a hotel approached the squad leader of the commando team, asking him to eliminate a possible alien threat in the office building adjacent to the hotel (the same building that I was in). They went in, guns blazing, and managed to keep casualties to a minimum. Pandemonium ensued across the streets, that is, until an elite commando team was sent in to eliminate the alien threat.

People were desperately jumping out of windows to escape the dark beasts. That night, it turns out that all across the city the aliens attacked. I looked out the window, and to my horror. The setting was some generic office cubicle that was eerily lit and largely abandoned. I evaded them simply by going onto a desk not unlike the one supplied by worldcraft/hammer (modern desk, south facing). Well anyway it starts out in typical fashion, where I was being chased by a badly modeled Alien from the Alien film that was a model replacement for the monster_zombie. It wasn't lucid because I'm such a noob at that. In optics, a focal point is the point at which initially collimated rays of light meet after passing through a convex lens or reflecting from a concave mirror.Like other TWHL members, I feel the need to recount some kind of dream that might be considered interesting. The name of this chapter comes from the physical term focal point. Barney is briefly teleported to a ruined human research camp on Xen to operate a triangulation device, the Focuser. Barney, Rosenberg, and two other scientists ( Walter Bennet and Simmons) try to restart the prototype teleport. The remainder of the game takes place in an abandoned, walled-up sector of the base originally built for research of the first teleport device. Notable in the older part of the facility are older-looking models of health and HEV chargers and the use of hand scanners instead of retina scanners for identification. To make the teleport completely operational, Barney is forced to travel to Xen and activate a device to allow teleportation to happen. īarney and Rosenberg reach an older part of the Black Mesa Research Facility where a disused teleport system is being reassembled by scientists. It was announced at E3 1998 as a very promising game. Prax Wars is a nod to Prax War, an actual canceled game by developer Rebel Boat Rocker, on which Gearbox's Randy Pitchford worked. A second scientist is reading The Mesa Times while waiting for his laundry to be done. In the laundromat, a scientist and a security guard are playing a fighting arcade video game, named Prax Wars 2: Dante's Revenge the security guard eventually loses the game.A soccer ball that fell from the basketball terrain above can be seen under the tracks at the very start of the ride.While Barney is locked outside the door to the Area 3 Security Facilities, he is passed by Gordon Freeman riding in another tram heading towards Sector C in a scene that mirrors one in the original game, in which Gordon Freeman sees a guard locked out of a door on the inside of a tunnel. Along the way many new details about Black Mesa are revealed Barney passes a laundromat and several fast food outlets, suggesting that the facility is very self-sufficient and probably houses many of its workers. The fast food court seen during the train ride.Īs the game begins, Barney Calhoun rides the tram from the Area 8 Topside Dormitories on the surface, into the underground sector of the Black Mesa Research Facility.
