The Borealis.

[Danny_ZQ]

I may not be a Half-Life 2.net forum veteran here, but I haven't seen many posts about the Borealis and what makes it's cargo so important. So, what do you think is on the Borealis that everybody wants to get?

 

[Shem]

A teleport.

 

[AtomicSpark]

Hats.

 

[bobtheskull]

Hats that teleport.

 

[Shem]

Teleports that hat.

 

[adamkz]

just regular hats that you can tease the combine with because they don't have one and hope they leave the planet?

 

[MFL]

The Combine came to Earth for our hat technology.

 

[sharkyshu]

waiting for the next game has made most members cruel towards these kind of threads


PS: Definetly hats.

:imu:

 

[BauerSlyer]

Borealis is overrated. It's just some random ship that got stuck in ice. That's all you need to know about it!

 

[The Monkey]

Mad Hatter is hatching hats.

 

[Edeslash]

We will never see Episode 3 because it's the cargo of Borealis. ;_;

 

[TigerX]

Since no one wants to take you seriously you could try this:
http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Borealis
There is a lot of speculation about what borealis might be or contain, mostly based on what is discused in game.

 

[FrostedxB]

No one is probably taking this seriously because there has already been a lot of speculation about the Borealis and her cargo and more threads about are just silly. I'm not saying anyone who posts here won't bring something new and/or interesting to the table but that's usually not the case with these threads.

 

[nofreeman]

Something secret steers us both. We shall not name it

 

[Danny_ZQ]

Now that you mention it... hats do sound like something an alien dictatorship might want to have.

 

[Lgamer222]

The Borealis will contain Half-Life 2: Episode Three.
Or hats.

 

[Cosmicthund3r]

Cleaver Theory. I think it is super powerful weaponry which can end the war. The combine want to sercure it but the humans want to use it

 

[tomemozok]

I sure hope they have a fedora on there

 

[Danny_ZQ]

I've always wanted a fez. I hope they have fezs on that stinkin' shell of a ship.

I'd say pretty advanced portal technology. The Combine are interested in it because it's currently their only option for re-establishing communication with the Overworld.

Which pretty much spells doom for the last bastion of humanity.

Wow. That's deep.

 

[EliteOps12]

Maybe clones of Cave Johnson? Perhaps the Mantis Men stowed away in the hull? GLaDOS from another dimension?

 

[EliteOps12]

But, seriously, I think that the ASHPD is in there.

 

[jim_chuck]

Have a vague recollection of reading something where Valve denied that the ASHPD would be in Episode 3. May be wrong though...

 

[huntingbear]

Sarge from Quake 3.....mind = blown

 

[Lobster]

I remember the first previews of HL2 carried a picture of the Borealis. They said the crew of the Ice-Breaker used in research were Half-Life fans, and were excited to have their ship involved. Those guys have been waiting for Episode 3 longer than anybody! ... assuming they didn't freeze like cartoon cavemen.. in which case it will be a much shorter wait. (It happens!)

 

[Kyzr]

My money's on a citadel type thing, maybe aperture came up with a way to teleport to the combine homeworld. Oh and hats, to jump on this bandwagon.

 

[MuhamedAli]

good work

this is good work!

 

[Azax]

its the setting for HL3 ep3 or some kind of portal half life merger in witch they have to secure the powerful portal technology that the borealis used to teleport its self (and some of the dry dock) out of aperture laps 1970 condemned testing area to god knows where, no doubt they can use this portal tech to send the combine back.

The human resistance may either work with or against GLaDOS, I feel with is more likely as since GLaDOS has realised she is Caroline she has been... nicer!
