Suspicious line in HL1

[ríomhaire]

In on a rail
Guard: "Freeman, I've been waiting for you. One of your scientist pals
said to give you a message. You're supposed to take this old rail
system up to some kind of satelite delivery rocket. I don't know where
it is exactly, and the old guy was so worried about gettin outta here
alive he didn't tell me. Main thing is, the military aborted the
launch. So, when you do find the rocket, you'll have to get up to the
control and launch it yourself. He said somethin about a Lambda team
needing the satelite in orbit if they were ever gonna clean up this
mess."

I was looking through a script guide, maybe it was the g-man? This actually contradics my theory but it's just an interesting thing I noticed.

 

[G-Dub]

IMO it suggests that it was the G-Man who Nuked BM.

1. How?
2. YOU SEE HIM ARMING THE FRIGGIN NUKE IN OP4!

 

[Eejit]

I don't think even a Barney could mistake the Gman for a scientist.

He's wearing the wrong clothes!

Yes, but we don't know what the g-man is capable of, he could have made the barney think he was a scientist, and off-course there is thee g-man=slick theory.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Ahem. It's something to do with closing the rift. The sattellite is like a teleporter targetting thingy, I think. It's in decay anyway; it helps Gina and Collette with...whatever they hell they're trying to do.

 

[ríomhaire]

In Decay we learned that the dampening field locks had to have been tampered with for the resonance cascade to happen. The missle was to stop the RC and the millitary aborted it. The g-man has some pull with the troops (or at least the troops didn't shoot/see him) so I think he was the one who ordered the satillite abortion that would have stopped the RC which makes me believe that he was the one who caused it in the first place be tampering with the dampening fields.

Well ok, just as long as we're definitely discounting a possible change of clothes. That would just be silly.

 

[Polaris]

Old guy = Richard Keller
Everything about that is explained in Decay or in document of Mike "Mechagodzilla" Anderson...

Guard: " ...the old guy was so worried about gettin outta here

That alone says it isn't the G-Man.

Both for the "old guy" where G-Man appears to be younger looking
than 2/3rds of the scientists at BM.

And for "the old guy was so worried about gettin outta here
alive"; while the G-Man seems to take his time wandering
around the facility, almost as a deliberate show of how little
danger he faces from being there.

 

[Cole]

Maybe Eli Vance?

 

[Langolier]

It was just a random scientist. In Decay you have to actually find a security guard who knows the passcodes for the launch so that the scientists can launch it. The military obviously finds out and for an unknown reason aports the launch, killing everyone inside... so then the scientists at the Lamda Lab or Dr.Keller decide to have Freeman get up there and launch it instead.

Looking at HL2 G-Man he is about 50 years old. (looking at hair,face,hands etc)

Point? Or are you just being a necrophile?

I thought the satellite that Gordon launches was to start the protal storms that eventually allow the Combine through.

Thats what I got from reading http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/timeline.htm

and looking at http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/assets/archive/evidence/satellite.jpg

Way I see it this satellite is all part of the Combine invasion. Just as the Resonanse Cascade was possibly engineered by G-Man so was the satellite. Someone may have released what the satellite could do and stopped it. Later the guard told Gordon to launch it. Could have been G-man manipulating the situation to make sure the rocket was launched.

Why engineered by G-man?

That site is contains loads of false info. For one the Combine were NOT on Xen. And he doesn't even take the expansion packs into account.
The satillite was set up to stop the Resonance Cascade; FACT! Play Decay(extra co-op missions on the PS2 version) if you don't believe me. The military then aborted it and Gordon launched it again.


The only way for a resonance cascade to have occured was if the dampening field locks were dissabled. Someone with access to them would have to have done it; ie, an anolomous matierials team member(and probably a high ranking one at that), Breen and the g-man(we don't know how much power he had but I assume pretty much as much as he wanted). As seen in OP4 the g-man was also involved with the HECU who aborted the launch. Now why would they abort a launch that would have stoped the monters beeming in? They must have been ordered by someone, who must have wanted the aliens to keep coming. Reasons why the Combine wouldn't want that(if they were indeed planing an invasion):
The RC was clearly random porting wildlife aswell as slaves(but very little real troops) to very unstrategicaly. I mean I would send them in teams together and without wildlife. At the start of BS you see a vort porting in and insecting a scie clearly wondering what the hell it is, dosn't sound like and invasion. Since Xen things were sent randomly then obviously the RC caused as much disruption on Xen(if not mroe) as it did in BM. The RC was clearing not an invasion and to me the facts defenatly point to the g-man. And the Controllers were building up a force of grunts, why? Maybe to invade Earth. I think the g-man set up the RC to disrupt and eventualy seize Xen and destroy BM(the nuke the Black Ops set up was obviously planned) and thus end the teleport tech. I think the g-man wanted Earth intact. I guess that shows that humans are better/more advanced on a grand scale of the multiverse than we may think from the Combine owning us. Or maybe the g-man just wanted Earth's resources. Or maybe he saw an opertunity to seize the boarder world by using Earth. Loads of different possibilities.
Am...right...sorry about that. A bit off-topic. You see my train of thought is fairly sound though right?

Didn't mean to bump Samon just keeping u on ur toes (sry:thumbs: could have sworn there was a recent reply on it)

Ríomhaire I dig where u'r comming from. Starting to all become clearer. i have never played Decay so I'll take ur world 4 it but I do agree with u - especially that G-Man waned to seize the border world by using Earth (maybe). 100% Combine not on Xen and I won't read that website again - looking over it again seems to have more holes than my y-fronts.

So what is the explination for the image I posted - "Satellite Array Status Offline - Satellite Portal Array". Surely that means the portals are offline and the satellite will enable them or am I getting totally confused ? Is this Screenshot before or after launch? I await enlightenment!!!!!

No problem, just don't make it a habit

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

I think that satalie hologram thing never changes.....but I could be wrong.



Btw we all need to pitch in and help the Vortigaunt revolution. I mean, we did kick thier arses in Half Life 1 and It's the least we can do.

 

[mr.mac]

Vortigaunts are like the coolest characters ever! a third arm! who thinks of that! genious... seriously though, when i read the timeline page, i got the impression that it was all Breen, and that Gordon was just "lucky" enough to be in the chamber at the time, and the G_man just took interest in Gordon. Yep.

Time-line=out of date and blatently wrong in many places.
