(Gordon comes to another closed gate) Alyx-Damn! It is jammed ok I have got an idea, head back to that office. (Gordon goes back and finds a vent he goes through) Alyx-Be careful Gordon I am picking up a lot of soldiers ahead. (Gordon comes to another gate) Alyx-I will start working on this gate, hang on. (Gordon moves on) Alyx-You are coming up to another control room, looks like it is still occupied. (Gordon clears the room) Alyx-My guess is that there are a bunch more soldiers heading your way. Quick search the room. There should be some combine turrets nearby. I can reprogram these turrets to attack the enemy. You set them up to defend the control room. I cant shut down those fields from here. I am going to have to catch up with you to access them. I am picking up a lot of incoming soldiers, hold the fort until I get there.
(Gordon defends the room until Alyx falls down out of a vent in the ceiling) Alyx-Sorry it took me so long. Glad to see you are okay. Lets see if we can find Mossman. It looks like this station might give me better access. (Alyx scrolls through some cameras and finds her) Alyx-There she is. Wait a minute. How did she..? (Mossman is talking to Dr. Breen) Breen-...from your area Judith-I am not calling about that, you promised you were not going to touch Eli Alyx-What is she up to? Oh my god. Breen-The soldiers were a bit overzealous I admit, but he was too tempting a prize to turn loose, especially in the absence of Gordon Freeman. Judith-You would have had Freeman if you had just been patient and waited for my signal. Breen-We were not entirely sure you were ever going to get around to that, human loyalties being what they are. Judith-Dr. Breen, as I have stated before you have to let Eli come around on his own, you cannot just.. Breen-I have known Dr. Vance far longer than you my dear. I am afraid your feelings for him might have blinded you. Judith-Feelings? This has nothing to do with feelings. It is a simple truth that when Eli believes in our.. Breen-This is not open to debate Dr. Mossman. Judith-Doctor please.. Breen-So sorry Judith I am all out of time. (The monitor shuts off) Alyx-Damn her! I dont believe this! Come on Gordon now we really have to hurry. Go on ahead I will disrupt the next level of security and will catch up to you when I can. (Gordon goes on ahead)
(Gordon comes to a room with 3 turrets in it) Alyx-Quick get these set up, I see soldiers coming in from all directions. (Gordon sets up the turrets) Alyx-Here they come! (After a while of fighting of soldiers, Alyx talks to Gordon again) Alyx-Ok Gordon I am going to leave off here and catch up with you. be there as soon as I can. (Alyx jumps down from a balcony above) Alyx-Sorry to take so long Gordon, I wont leave you again, now, lets go track down Mossman.
(Alyx and Gordon head off to find Mossman, after a short distance they come to a hallway, all the lights are shut off one by one) Alyx-uh-oh (A horde of Combine soldiers pour in, Gordon and Alyx fight them off and head on)
(They come to a control room) Alyx-Great another security station. (Alyx uses her hacking tool to hack the security station) Alyx-Alright Mossman where are you... (The monitor cycles to a image of Judith in a control room) Alyx-Ha! There you are! (Alyx inputs some commands and seals off the station that Judith is at) Alyx-Ha! Got you now! Well come on Gordon we dont want to keep her waiting. (They head to the next room, combine soldiers come out of a field gate) Alyx-Come on Gordon! Let me seal this door. No turning back now.
(They run up to a window and see Judith inside) Aylx-There she is. Leave the talking to me Gordon. We may need her to get out of here. (Alyx goes and bangs on the window) Judith-Hello? Oh thank god.. Someone is here. Alyx? Gordon? How did you get in here? Aylx-We know all about you and Breen. You have been a spy for the combine the whole time. Judith-What? What are you talking about? (The sealed door begins to give way under the combine battery) Alyx-Dammit, move back Mossman we are coming in. (Alyx opens the door to the room) Judith-Alyx whatever you may think I assure you I am working to protect your father. Aylx-Shut up and be glad you are still of some use to us! We are going to reconfigure this teleport and get the hell out of here. Judith-You see we are working to the same end. I have already modulated the teleporter to emulate a xen relay. Aylx-That is my fathers work you stole! Judith-Its my work to! And I had to prove to Dr. Breen that your father would be the most valuable member of any research effort going forward from here. Alyx-Enough of your bullshit! (The monitor shows Eli) Alyx-Look Gordon there is my dad, I am going to bring him in. Judith-You found Eli? Alyx-No thanks to you! Just enter the coordinates for Dr. Klieners lab and lets get moving. Judith-But we need access to the teleport platform and we are locked out. Alyx-I will take care of that. (The door to the teleport room opens) Alyx-Lets get going.
(They all head into the teleport room which contains a teleport similar to the one in Dr. Klieners lab but it is much taller) Aylx-Oh my god. And you have been working with this thing? For how long? Judith-Never.. Until now. Though I did have a fairly good idea of what to expect. (Eli comes in on the prison pod) Aylx-I bet you did. It looks like it is waiting for us. Judith-The combine use a peculiar pulse-forming network with a very long rise time, It takes quite a while to recharge. Alyx-So you have warmed it up for us. Good. And just in time. (The prison pod opens) Alyx-Dad down here. Sorry we took so long I hope that was not too bad for you. Eli-Do not worry about me sweetheart. Judith! I see they set you free! Aylx-Not exactly. Judith-Eli! I was so worried about you! Alyx-The coordinates Dr. Mossman. (A large bang is heard at the sealed door) Eli-So this is the combine portal, It is smaller than I imagined. (Eli is moved into the portal) Alyx-Hurry up Mossman! (Alyx contacts Dr. Kliener over the terminal) Aylx-Dr. Kleiner! Dr. Kliener-Yes Alyx where are you? Alyx-We are in Nova Prospekt, and we are running the Xen emulation for the first time. Are you ready for us? Dr. Kliener-Ready! Willing! And fully enabled! Alyx-Good we will send my dad through first, he is in position for... (An alarm sounds) Aylx-What was that? Hold on gotta bring this back down. (Mossman sneaks into the portal and starts it) Alyx-No! Stop! What are you doing! Judith-I am sorry Alyx, it is the only way. Alyx-No! Get back here! Eli-Whats going on Alyx? Judith? (The portal starts to rise, as Alyx tries to stop it, it activates) Alyx-Dr. Kliener you have to stop them! Dr. Kliener-Stop who my dear? Alyx-Oh my god! What coordinates are these? Where did she take him! (Another large bang is heard at the door) Alyx-No.. Cover me Gordon I have to reset the portal. Use the turrets! (A series of several bangs can be heard, the doors to the room finally are blown open by the combine, Gordon and alyx fight them off until the portal is ready) Alyx-Thank god it is done lets get the hell out of here! (Alyx and Gordon run into the portal, as it begins to raise the remaining doors to the room blow open and soldiers flood out, the building begins to collapse, just as a large cement piece is about to fall on the portal they are teleported and the screen goes white)
(The screen fades back in to reveal the room in Dr. Klieners lab with the teleporter in it) Alyx-My god we made it! But where is Dr. Kliener? (Alyx bangs on the secret wall) Alyx-Dr. Kliener let us out! (Dr. Kliener pops in with a shotgun) Dr. Kliener-Aylx? Gordon? My god how did you get here and when? Alyx-What is wrong? Dr. Kliener-My dear, I had given up hope of ever seeing you again. Alyx-I was thinking the same. I think the teleport exploded just as we made it out. Dr. Kliener-Indeed it did. And the repercussions were felt far and wide.. but that was over a week ago. Alyx-What do you mean? Gordon and I were just there a minute ago. Dr. Kiener-Fascinating. We seem to have developed a slow teleport. This suggests an entirely new line of investigation. Alyx-A week..? Then what have we missed? Dr. Kliener-A great deal my dear. The blow you struck at Nova Prospekt was taken as a signal to start the uprising. Alyx-But what about my father? Dr. Kliener-Well.. that is most disturbing. According to the vorigaunts he is a prisoner at the citadel. Alyx-We have got to get my father out. Dr. Kliener-Barney has been leading a push with that very aim in mind. And another of your friends arrived several days ago. (Dr. Kliener opens the room where the HEV suit used to be, inside is Dog) Alyx-Dog! You made it! Dr. Kliener-So there. You see? Its not all hopeless. Alyx-I wish I shared your optimism doctor. (Barney appears over a monitor) Barney-Doc come in.. are you there? Dr. Kliener-Yes barney and I am no longer alone. Alyx and Gordon have just arrived. Barney-Well man thats good news, I almost gave you guys up for lost. We are going to set up a staging area for the attack on the citadel. Alyx-Gordon and dog can head your way. I want to get Dr. Kliener somewhere safer. Barney-I will take all the help I can get. Oh crap! Incoming! (A artillery shell flies by barney) Barney-Get going!
(Gordon and Dog head out of the lab and onto the streets of City 17)
============================================================================== Anti-Citizen One ============================================================================== (As Gordon and Dog head out to the streets a combine tank drives up, Dog picks it up and throws it into a building filled with soldiers, he then pries open a barricade to let Gordon past, after Gordon is past he shuts it and jumps onto a dropship, the dropship flies off with Dog on it)
(Gordon meets up with some resistance members) Resistance 1-Well Gordon Freeman, and about time to Resistance 2-Gordon you are here! Resistance 3-Dr. Freeman we are coming with you (They head off and continue on)
(Gordon comes to an area sealed off by twisted metal and concrete) Resistance 4-Gordon Freeman? It is you isnt it! Give me a minute, Im gonna plant some charges and blow this open. (After holding off combine forces for some time the area is blow open) Resistance 4-Looks nasty in there! Good thing you have that suit! (Gordon makes it past the area and opens the locked door) Resistance 4-I see you made it through okay, I figured you would.
(Gordon finds a resistance member through a fence) Resistance 5-Dr. Freeman? It is not safe here anymore. They are shelling the hell out of us. I will send word you are coming up ahead. Keep moving. (Gordon continues on with his squad)
(He comes to a room with 2 turrets, after knocking them down the door blows open and Alyx comes in) Alyx-Gordon! I had a feeling I would find you here. I have got Dr. Kliener in a safe spot. Now we can join up with Barney. There is a command center downstairs, I am hoping to find information on generator locations. Ready? Lets go. (Gordon and Alyx go downstairs and reach the command center) Alyx-Well we are in luck, there is a generator in the square outside. We are trying to disable as many as we can to loosen the combines grip on the city. It will take me a few minutes to expose the core, then I will need you to hit it with a burst from the gravity gun. In the meantime watch my back. (Gordon and Alyx head outside to the plaza, Alyx starts to disable the generator) Alyx-This should not take too long. As soon as it is down, I will open that gate and we can get out of here. (Gordon fights off the combine forces as Alyx tries to open the generator) Alyx-Ok the core is exposed. Use the gravity gun Gordon! (Gordon uses the gravity gun to push the energy source out of the core) Alyx-All right, I am opening the gate.
