As a seemingly normal day at work starts, Barney Calhoun visits security headquarters, including a shooting range and a surveillance room where it is possible to see Gordon Freeman again on camera heading towards the HEV Storage Area. Calhoun is then sent to help some scientists with an elevator; along the way, he witnesses many incidents foreshadowing the resonance cascade, such as a pair of scientists vainly trying to fix a supercomputer. He also sees the G-Man passing by in a tram. After repairing the elevator, the resonance cascade occurs; the elevator is jammed, the cable snaps and sends Calhoun and two scientists plummeting down the shaft as chaos breaks out around them. As the elevator collides with the bottom of the elevator shaft, Calhoun falls unconscious.
TriviaEdit
The chapter takes place at the same time as the Half-Life chapters Black Mesa Inbound and Anomalous Materials.
Also, the Half-Life: Decay chapter Dual Access takes place at the same time as this chapter.
If the player destroys the candy bar machine or jumps down to the middle of the hall instead of taking the stairs, a scientist will shout "My god,what are you doing?!" If the player jumps in the shooting range and stand in front of a security guard, he will comment "Are you crazy?!" and he may shoot the player if he is blocking his path.
