While we’re on the subject of a HL movie, I think it might be best done with only a few scenes involving Freeman. Here is the intro to my story WIP, Half-life: Guard duty, that uses Freeman to ease the reader (presumably familiar with the HL series, as I’m posting the chapters in full on a HL mapping forum) into the story.
8:47 AM
Black Mesa Research Facility
Black Mesa, New Mexico
(Tram line)
The young man on the tram glanced at his watch, a look of worry on his face. Late again. The Administrator would have his head if just one more experiment was delayed on his account. The tram, leaving the stop at the sector B coolant reserve launched into its automated welcome speech. Like anyone else was on the tram line this late.
“Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa transit system. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa research facility personnel…”
‘It’s gonna be a long day’ he thought.
This is only the first section of the first chapter, and after the resonance cascade, the focus shifts from partly Freeman and partly a security guard in a seperate section of the base to just the guard, using Freeman as just a timepiece.
