    Summary

    This was not the plan. The plan was for you to transfer your mind to a power suit and take the Climber down to site Tau, where you would find the ARK and launch it into space the way the original PATHOS-II team was supposed to. The plan was to get you and Catherine on the ARK and go with the rest of humanity into a virtual reality that would keep you alive and safe on a satellite and far, far away from the the wreckage of you apocalyptic planet. The plan was for you to get on the ARK and leave.

    Nowhere in the plan were you supposed to wake up alone at the bottom of the fucking ocean.

    Summary

    Collecting my various Half Life nonsense under one heading and somewhat loosely in order! Everything in this series will follow the Physics of the Crowbar characterization but can be read as stand-alone stories. More or less follows game cannon, fills in some gaps, attempts to add a little character to things, expands timelines. No romance but lots of friendship in HL2 setting, and as much "make Freeman as viscerally uncomfortable as possible" in HL1 setting.

    Summary

    What happens when Freeman refuses the G-Man's offer? Is there such a thing as an "unwinnable battle" to Freeman, after Black Mesa? And what happened during those twenty years? Freeman didn't age, but that doesn't mean he didn't move forward. He didn't accept the job offer, not at first, but the G-Man isn't much for fair choices. Shades of Edge of Tomorrow.
