Remember to stay in shape. You never know when others might rely on your physical abilities to save them.

Fake it until you make it. Nothing's gonna go wrong, they're not going to let the new guy in charge of anything important.

It's not his first day. The conversations along the way make it seem like he's well known in the test labs.

>>720486338
Azure sheep and residual point are kino. Been meaning to play echoes

don't talk to anybody, just stare at them and they'll act as though you said something appropriate

Who the fuck is this guy?

>>720486338
>No They Hunger

For me its delta particles because the mod author is an autistic fuck

>>720486850

>>720487092
Ah ok, I sorta figured

>>720486837
What do you mean? It's just a scientist riding by himself on a tram car.

First day on the job, these fucking idiots are actually gunna let me and my squad in after I told them we're here to help them lmao.

>>720487330
>There's one to two tram cars on any given tram line
>Dude just takes it for himself instead of waiting for anyone else
What a dick. The tram has to go ALL THE WAY back any time anyone wants to enter the facility using it.

Looks like Doctor Kleiner, but it make have been his cl-er Cousin.

built for big combine cock

Remember only pussies use crowbars to gently pry open boxes, real men go apeshit and smash the boxes to pieces-your superiors will respect you for it

Uhhhh Overwatch, Echo-One reporting. I think I'm in the wrong drop zone, please advise.

Wait, why are they using Aperture Tech on the feet?

Oh, I looked up The Combine assassins again and I guess they did have that, interesting. Great world-building.
Black Ops did not though, so idk why that one has it, unless it's Chel in cosplay or something?

Honestly, if The Combine didn't lobotomize their troops and actually rebuilt infrastructure to make their new citizens not live in shitty commie blocks, I'd be fine with them ruling the world.
>>720488523
The Black Mesa remake adds the long fall boots to them, so it's probably based on that.

>>720488523
they got cut so it could mean anything you want, and Portal wouldn't have existed for another 5-6 years

>>720488687
they wouldn’t be the combine if they weren’t draining planets of resources, stopping ppl from having kids, and turning soldiers into identity death’d cyborgs

>>720485535 (OP)
explore your environment to discover secrets of the level

>>720488687
Ah ok. I never noticed it.
>>720488743
Yeah, I know it was cut and even if it was simply reused for Portal, it's still a cool idea that Combine was using similar (or stolen) human technology.
More Portal and Half-Life connections are always neat in my book, even if it's stupid fanfic-tier head-canon lol.

Go home sick, barney can cover your shift.
