Mossman and her message (SPOILERS)
This is my first post here on the forums so hai2u ^^
I have a question regarding Mossman and the arctic base containing the Borealis. I'm a bit confused over the message Alyx picked up in the Citadel and downloaded in to her data thingy. Was that message sent to the Rebels or the Combine and more important WHEN was it sent. I mean, Mossman was at the top of the Citadel in Breen's office moments before the portal explosion at the ending of HL2. She must've taken herself and Eli to safety out in White Forest shortly after this right? So straight after she got back there she went north to the base? Because in Episode 1 the message is seen by Alyx just hours after the portal exploded. She says at the very beginning of episode 1 that she's been trying to contact her dad, Eli, for hours. Meaning that the timeframe from when Mossman was in the office to when she sent the message could been a matter of 2-5 hours perhaps. Am i mistaken, has Gordon and Alyx been in statis for perhaps a day or more?
I just find it hard to understand how Mossman could have traveled all that way in such a short period of time, right after the explosion and everything. If she did, was the message sent to the Combine or to White Forest and the Combine just picked it up. Hidden in the message was the location and data of the Borealis and she was back working with the Rebels weren't she? So, huge wall of text i know but this is basically the only thing in the series i'm confused about ^^
Someone feel free to explain! Cheers!
