Transcript
00:00Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System.
00:07This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel.
00:15The time is 8.47 a.m.
00:21Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105.
00:30The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times.
00:38This train is inbound from Level 3 dormitories to Sector C test labs and control facilities.
00:52If your intended destination is a high security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9 and board a high security train.
01:06If you have not yet submitted your identity to the Retinal Clearance System,
01:11you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the Transit System.
01:27Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa compound,
01:33no smoking, eating or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa Transit System.
01:40Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times.
01:45Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform.
01:52In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction.
01:59If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first.
02:07Please stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives.
02:14Please stay away from the intelligent captain's
02:36A reminder that the Black Mesa Hazard Course Decathlon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level 3 facility.
03:03The semi-finals for high-speed motors are being placed in a separate secure access transmission.
03:12Remember, more lives than your own may depend on your fitness.
03:18Do you have a friend or relative who would make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa team?
03:25Immediate openings are available in the areas of materials handling and low clearance security.
03:32Please contact Black Mesa personnel for further information.
03:37If you have associated with our own areas of behavioral physics, biotechnology, or other powered technicians, please contact our civilian recruitment division.
03:50The Black Mesa Research Facility is an open opportunity employer.
03:57A reminder to all Black Mesa personnel.
04:04Regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility.
04:14Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation checkup is grounds for immediate termination.
04:21If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your radiation safety officer immediately.
04:33Work safe. Work smart. Your future depends on it.
04:41Now arriving at Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities.
04:46Please stand back from the automated door and wait for the security officer to verify your identity.
05:01Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings.
05:07Thank you, and have a very safe and productive day.
05:11Good morning, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you're running late.
05:27Hey, catch me later. I'll buy you a beer.
05:41Hey, catch me later.
06:03BIT! BIT!
06:13Hey, 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.
06:20Just one of those days, I guess.
06:22They were having some problems down in the test chamber, too, but I think that's all straightened out.
06:26They told me to make sure you headed down there as soon as you got into your hazard suit.
06:30Now, where did I leave that shutdown procedure chart?
06:43Get away from there, Freeman. I'm expecting an important message.
06:47BIT!
06:58Weren't you supposed to be in the test chamber half an hour ago?
07:05Do you know who ate all the doughnuts?
07:09Good morning, Gordon.
07:12Big day today, Freeman.
07:17The sample was just delivered to the test chamber.
07:22Please, leave me alone until after the experiment.
07:26Don't you think we should recalculate those in resonance?
07:33You'll just have to wait until after the test.
07:36Excuse me, Gordon, but I'm rather busy now.
07:41All displacement modulators were tuned today, weren't they?
07:46Stop asking that question.
07:48Big question.
07:49Hello there.
08:19I believe so.
08:22I can't be bothered right now.
08:26Do you think we should delay for another recalibration?
08:30You can't be serious.
08:38Sorry, I'm on duty, Mr. Freeman.
08:49Excuse me, Gordon, but I'm rather busy now.
08:56Ah, hello, Gordon Freeman. It's good to see you.
09:12Good to see you.
09:17Yes, this all looks nominal.
09:29Greetings!
09:35This is all within the...
09:37Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?
09:53As I expected.
09:55Welcome to the HEV Mach 4 protective system.
10:08For use in hazardous environment conditions.
10:12High impact reactive armor activated.
10:17Atmospheric contaminant sensors activated.
10:21Vital sign monitoring activated.
10:25Automatic medical systems engaged.
10:29Hello.
10:30We're not through, sir.
10:31Looks like you're in the barrel today.
10:32Activated.
10:33Munition...
10:34Please, leave me alone until after the experiment.
10:37Communications...
10:38I am so close to seeing the tokens are still nominal.
10:41I'm very...
10:42safe...
10:43safe...
10:52Black Mesa topside temperature is 93 degrees.
11:08It's good to see you.
11:27You'll just have to wait until after the test.
11:38I can't be bothered right now.
11:52Sorry, sir.
11:53I've got to stay in my post.
12:00All 729, please.
12:08Greetings.
12:10Ah, Gordon.
12:12Here you are.
12:13We just sent the sample down to the test chamber.
12:15We've boosted the anti-mass spectrometer to 105%.
12:19Bit of gamble, but we need the extra resolution.
12:21The administrator is very concerned that we get a conclusive analysis of today's sample.
12:26I gather they went to some length to get it.
12:29They're waiting for you, Gordon.
12:30In the test chamber.
12:31Greetings.
12:32It's about to go critical.
12:36What the hell is going on with our equipment?
12:37I wasn't meant to do this in the first place.
12:38It's about to go critical.
12:39What the hell is going on with our equipment?
12:41I wasn't meant to do this in the first place.
12:43First of all, it's about to go critical.
12:47What the hell is going on with our equipment?
12:48I wasn't meant to do this in the first place.
12:51Yes.
12:53And now, I'll be able to do that.
12:56I will not be able to do it.
12:59I can't believe it.
13:01Let's go through that.
13:02I can't believe it.
13:04I can't believe it.
13:06I can believe it.
13:08What is the power of the night and night?
13:11I'm afraid we'll be deviating a bit
13:31from standard analysis procedures today, Gordon.
13:35Yes, but with good reason.
13:37This is a rare opportunity for us.
13:39This is the purest sample we've seen yet.
13:42And, potentially, the most unstable.
13:44Now, now, if you follow standard insertion procedures,
13:47everything will be fine.
13:49I don't know how you can say that,
13:51although I will admit that the possibility
13:52of a resonance cascade scenario is extremely unlikely.
13:56Gordon doesn't need to hear all this.
13:58He's a highly trained professional.
14:00We've assured the administrator that nothing will go wrong.
14:04Ah, yes, you're right.
14:06Gordon, we have complete confidence in you.
14:09Well, go ahead.
14:11Let's let him in now.
14:31Testing?
14:33Testing?
14:33Testing?
14:33Everything seems to be in order.
14:40All right, Gordon.
14:42Your suit should keep you comfortable through all this.
14:45The specimen will be delivered to you in a few moments.
14:48If you would be so good as to climb up and start the rotors,
14:52we can bring the anti-pass spectrometer to 80%
14:55and hold it there until the carrier arrives.
15:17Very good.
15:18We'll take it from here.
15:20Power to stage 1 emitters in 3, 2, 1.
15:28I'm seeing predictable phase arrays.
15:31Stage 2 emitters.
15:32Stage 2 emitters activating now.
15:46Gordon, we cannot predict how long the system can operate at this level,
15:51nor how long the reading will take place.
15:53Work as quickly as you can.
15:54Overhead capacitors to 1 over 5%.
16:03Uh, it's probably not a problem.
16:07Probably, but I'm showing a small discrepancy in it.
16:10Well, no, it's well within acceptable bounds again.
16:14Sustaining sequence.
16:15I've just been informed that the saddle is ready, Gordon.
16:20It should be coming up to you anyway.
16:23Look to the delivery system for your specimen.
16:34Come here!
16:35Gordon!
16:36Get away from the speed!
16:37Shutting down!
16:38No!
16:39Captain, shut it down!
16:41It's not!
16:42It's not!
16:43It's not shutting down!
16:44It's not!
17:12It's not!
17:12It's not!
17:12It's not!
17:13So, they're running!
17:13It's not!
17:14It's not!
17:14I don't know.
