CHAPTER 1-Kirk (Indoctrination)

Part 1- introduction

My name is Kirk Raker. And I am one of the few survivors of the destruction of City #1. You may be wondering: "What city? Why is there a number before it?" but I can't answer those questions just yet. First you must know of my life in this world. Before the events began I was a happy car mechanic who occasionally went to the gun range to practice and had a wife and young kid. But, I lost them during the event I will soon tell you of. The tale I must tell you is a long and harrowing tale of adventure, bravery, loss, love, and sacrifice. Know this: there was a research station known as 'Black Mesa'. This research station was experimenting in other dimensions beyond our own. They started this hell that I and the remnants of humanity are forced to live in. They were experimenting with crystals and accidentally opened portals which led to several alien worlds. One of the more important ones was known as 'Xen'. After the portal opened, a huge alien force started an attack on black mesa. Almost all the scientists and guards were slaughtered. But there were survivors. The more important examples names were; Gordon Freeman, Eli Vance, Barney Calhoun, Alex Vance, Dr. Magnusson and Dr. Kliener. But that is the ones who the remaining humans think of as heroes. There are those amongst the survivors who are hated or feared. These traitors worked for the force that attacked earth. That force, is known as 'The combine'. Their attack was so powerful they defeated all of earth's forces in 7 short hours. The battle was known as 'The 7 Hour War.". After humanity was decimated the remaining population was sent to live in 'Cities'. The so called 'cities' were no better than elaborate prison camps. Each city had a number, and each citizen was supposed to follow the rules or be submitted for 'Off-world Relocation'. But all civilians know what that really means, Death. Some unlucky people have seen it happening. Those who were caught seeing the 'Off-world relocation' were turned into mangled robotic things known as 'Stalkers'. The laws of the towns are kept in place by traitorous humans known as 'Civil protection'. But they are known by many to be nothing more than vain thugs with lead badges. The combine also has a terrible force at their disposal. They are known as 'head-crabs'. 'Head-crabs' are small monsters that latch onto someone's face and turn them into a horrible deformed creature. If a section of the city is known to be showing 'Anti citizen activity' it is bombed with head-crab canisters. That is the world that I know. And that, is the world I am going to tell you a tale of. Be warned, this tale is not for the faint of heart. The combine have tormented humanity for many years. So we are somewhat used to it. But you… you do not know of the horrors they unleash upon us every day. You have been warned.
