Therefore, Gordon begins the journey across Black Mesa to reach them.īiggest thing that strikes me about this chapter is the fact you come full circle.

However, it is revealed that the surviving members of the Lambda Team (in the Lambda Complex at the other end of the facility) may be able to close the dimensional rift. When he eventually reaches the surface, Gordon finds himself in an area totally under the control of the military and, worse, in the middle of an artillery bombardment – taking cover, he is forced back into the underground complex. It is then that he discovers that the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, which has taken control of Black Mesa, is not just killing the aliens, they are also killing everyone connected to the project, including himself. He attempts to join up with them, but walks into a room to witness a Marine killing a scientist. Gordon learns that the soldiers rumored to be coming on a rescue mission have already arrived. This chapter finds Gordon Freeman making good progress, passing through various storage and staging areas, continuing his hunt for a way to the surface.
