We've arrived. BA_WORE ba I guess I wore you down with my retelling of the X-files plot. BA_LEADELEV ba I'll lead you to the elevator. Doctor Kleiner is already waiting for you on the lower floor. BA_PERSON ba Are you a beer person or a wine person? 'Cause I prefer beer. BA_SILENCE ba Okay, I get it. Silence is golden. BA_NEWHERE ba You know, actually I'm quite new here too. Name's Barney Calhoun. Or just Barney. Can I call you Gordon? BA_TAKEYES ba I'll take it as yes. // REGISTRATION IK_HELLO ik You've come at last, I was waiting for you, Gordon. Follow me to the registration room in the personnel department. IK_WORKING ik I can assure you working in Black Mesa is even more exciting than studying at MIT. IK_BRING ik I brought him. SC_REG sc Ah, Gordon Freeman! Give us the complete set of your documents, please, so we could register you as a new research associate. SC_WAITMIN sc Ok, registration will take a couple of minutes. Please, stay here. IK_SORRY ik Sorry, Gordon, I have to leave now or I'm going to be late! EV_IZZY ev Hi, Izzy! IK_ELI ik Ah, hello, Eli, you're just on time. Will you help Gordon to settle down in Black Mesa? EV_NOPROBLEM ev No problem. IK_THANKS ik Thank you, Eli. EV_GORDON ev Gordon Freeman! Kleiner told me a lot about you. You'll work with me in Sector C, in the Anomalous Materials Lab. SC_REGFIN sc Gordon Freeman, your registration is complete. As it was said in the letter, you're assigned a clearance level 3 and living quarters in dormitories, the number is 309. Don't forget that you're scheduled to participate in HEV training. We wish you success in your endeavors! IK_FINREG ik Have you finished your registration already? EV_GO ev Let's go, Gordon, I'll show you the dormitories. RO_REVIEW ro The administrator asked me to write a review on Gina. Usually I despise bureaucracy, but this time I have no trouble reviewing a coworker... Dr. Cross has shown herself as a decent research associate, a capable scientist and engineer. Her remarkable work on the new HEV model deserves more recognition... I believe Gina would make a great Hazardous Environment Supervisor. // DORMITORIES EV_HEREWEARE ev We're here, Gordon. EV_WESTWING ev It's the western wing of the dormitories, I also live here. Your room is in a different wing, but I'll take you there. AM_VANCE am Good afternoon, Vance! Will you introduce me to this inductee? EV_ASSISTANT ev This is Gordon Freeman. Our new research associate in Sector C. AM_STUDENT am Ah, it's Kleiner's student! Well, young man, nice to meet you! But don't expect any kindness from me. I also hope your work here won't be a recipe for disaster. EV_MAGNUSSON ev Don't mind Dr. Magnusson. He and Kleiner compete for grant money every year. AM_ALYX am Oh, no, Vance, calm your child down immediately! EV_ALYX ev This is my daughter Alyx. She's got a flu recently, but she'll alright, my wife Azian is with her. I'll introduce you to them later. For now we should proceed. EV_ROOM ev Here we are, Gordon, room number 309. Make yourself comfortable, this is your home now. SC_CURTAINSA sc Are you sure it's a good idea to buy curtains from our main competitor? SC_CURTAINSB sc C'mon, it's just curtains! Really good ones by the way.

RO_TWOCRYS ro Today we must study two crystal samples. RO_TESTCHAMBER ro Freeman, go down to the test chamber, I'll guide you from here. RO_HEAR ro Can you hear me, Freeman? RO_START ro Well, let's start the experiment. RO_WAIT_V ro Wait a bit, Dr. Cross will be delivering the first sample. RO_IT ro Excellent, here it is. RO_VIOLET ro Gordon, turn on the violet stream of ionic particles. RO_STRUCTURE ro Aha! While affected by a stream, the structure of the sample is changing! RO_ION ro Great, the ionization has completed. RO_EMIT ro Now we must analyze the specimen. Freeman, put the specimen under the emitters. RO_EQUIP ro Before we start I must warn you, the equipment is delicate and a bit unstable. RO_MONITOR ro You'll need to monitor the values and adjust them manually. The values cannot go to critical levels! RO_EMITON ro Okay Freeman, turn on the emitters now. And watch the indicators! RO_FINISHED ro Great, the analysis is complete! RO_EMITOFF ro Gordon, turn off the emitters and lower the crystal. RO_WAIT_G ro The second specimen will be delivered to you soon. RO_GREEN ro Switch on the green stream now, Gordon. RO_WHAT ro What happened? RO_ENERGYOFF ro Oh, no! The power is out! RO_ADD ro Freeman, go down to the generator room and turn on the backup power. RO_ENERGYON ro Excellent, the power's been restored, we can continue. RO_END ro Congratulations, Freeman! The experimental stage has finished! You're free to rest and take a break. RO_COLORA ro I said violet, Freeman. Ugh, what are they even teaching at MIT? RO_COLORB ro This time it's green. You know, the one that is not violet? RO_LOSER0 ro Freeman, you fool! RO_LOSER1 ro You had one job! RO_LOSER2 ro Freeman, what have you done? // Phone calls to administration LM_HELLO0 4.1 lm Good morning. This is the Black Mesa administration office. How can I help you? LM_HELLO1 4.1 lm Hello. This is Marc, the administrator's assistant. What can I do for you? LM_HELLO2 4.1 lm You've reached the Black Mesa administrative office. Marc speaking. LM_HELLO3 4.1 lm You've called the Black Mesa administrative office. How can I help you? LM_PART1A lm Hello? Are you there? I can't hear you. LM_PART1B lm Looks like we're having communication problems. Please call later. LM_PART1C lm Hello? I can hear you breathing! Please speak up. LM_PART1D lm This is not fun. Stop distracting me from my work! LM_PART1E 1.5 lm Yes? I'm listening. LM_PART1F lm This is getting really annoying. Listen here you pathetic prankster. I know where you're calling from. Stay where you are. I'm gonna watch you on the security camera! LM_PART2A lm Hello?.. Ah, it's you again. My phone nemesis. Stop wasting my time or I'm going to find you and get you fired! LM_PART2B lm What. Do. You. Want? Seriously. I'm just a guy who does paperwork. Why do you hate me so much? Why should you make my life even more miserable than it already is? LM_PART3A lm Oh, I recognize this silence. You know, I wanted to become a science fiction writer. The only thing I write now is routine documents. My life has already failed. So please, stop torturing me! LM_PART4A lm Desperate, worthless... I need to pull myself together. Oh wait, the phone is on. LM_PART5A lm Ah, it's you again. Since you're such a good listener, I'm willing to describe a concept of my future book to you. Yes, I've decided to start writing one after all! It's a story about a despot, a tyrant, who got to control a community of humble people, scientists and thinkers. But one day he's got to pay for his sins. And he becomes just a grub, a slug, nothing more. So he has to experience a whole new world where he's not a big boss, and he must learn a lot of things like compassion and mercy. And despite being a grub, he becomes more and more human. LM_PART5B lm I must emphasize, all characters are fictitious, of course. Any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental. LM_PART6A lm Silence... I hope it's the one I'm thinking of. I've finally worked up the nerve to ask the head administrator for a raise. I have a good feeling about it. It's going to be a big day. I still don't know who you are, but you've made me realize that I was the only reason for my hopeless state. Goodbye, my silent friend.
