"Okay, see- he left out the part where those Black Mesa fuckers let the goddamn aliens in in the first fuckin' place. Some kinda weird-ass experiment the eggheads were doin' up and tore time and space a new asshole. Me'n my unit, we got dispatched down to Black Mesa to put down the aliens before it could get outta hand- least that's what I thought we were gonna be doin'. One of those Xen fuckers shot my squad's plane down before we got there."
