Gordon woke up in the snow, looking in the distance, that the helicopter he and Alex were on was destroyed. He looked and only found his crowbar and gravity gun, the only weapons he had left.

We now take you on a flashback of how this all happened. Gordon was on the ground with Alex holding her dad in her hands. Gordon stood up and put his hand on Alyx, "Gordon, don't worry, it's not your fault, but I am going to make the combine pay for what they've done" said Alyx. "Your right, there isn't time to grief, let's get going, we can't let my father die in vain" said Alyx. Gordon and Alyx went to the helicopter as Alyx gave Dog one more hug "don't worry boy, I'll be back, watch over the others, okay?".

Alex and Gordon took off to the ship known as, the Borealis, known for its technology from Aperture Science. When they made it to their location, they soon saw it from a distance "we found it Gordon, we really did it". "W-Wait a minute, I'm getting something on radar; Gordon hang on" a rocket launcher was shot at them as their helicopter was brought down "Gordon!".

Suddenly, Gordon was in a dark abyss with the G-man "well, Mr. Freeman, I will say it has been… quite a while since I spoke to you". "I know what I said last time about you and Alyx Vance, but I may have a great deal for you, kind of like the one back in Black Mesa". "I'll be watching you Mr. Freeman, hopefully we'll see each other soon enough" the G-man left as Gordon was teleported off the helicopter.

Back where we left off Gordon walked through the snow, when he found a combine base nearby. Gordon sneaked up on one of the combine and killed it with his crowbar, stealing his pistol in the process. Gordon made his way to their vehicle storage as he killed most of them while getting there, when Gordon was held at gunpoint from behind "don't move, come in, we have Gordan Free-" suddenly a shot was fired. Gordan looked behind him, seeing Alyx "Gordon, thank goodness you're alright".

"Well it's a good thing you found the storage, these vehicles should help us get to the Borealis faster". They heard a sound as a blast came through the roof "oh crap, both a Strider and Hunters? This might be bad". Gordan and Alex took care of the Hunters as Gordon found a rocket launcher in the process. Gordon used the rocket launcher on the Strider, taking it down "Yes, nice shot Gordon, I'm not sure where I would be without you".

"Okay, let's take one of these vehicles and get going, we can't let the combine steal all the stuff in that ship". Gordon and Alyx took a vehicle, and driven through the snow, to the Borealis.
