Chapter 1 - An Eventful Drive
The forest was calm and still, the trees creaked and groaned softly as they swayed slightly in the breeze. The distant sound of an engine could be heard, slowly building in volume. The rumble turned Into a deafening roar, as a jeep hurtled down a worn road between the trees. The occupants were two men wearing coats with a yellow lambda painted on the shoulder. Each wore a blue woolen hat too. They also carried a SMG, each, in their holster. The radio on the jeep burst to life sending chatter into the vehicle.
"Delta five, delta five, come in, over".
One man looked to the other curiously before picking up the mic.
"This is Delta five, we read you loud and clear, over", he spoke into the mic.
"You need to get outta there NOW! Combine are on their way to your position!".
As if by cue, the sound of helicopter rotors could be heard in the distance. The combine were coming.
The driver, quickly pulled the wheel sending the jeep careering into the woods. He struggled as he tried to control the jeep as it narrowly swerved past trees and logs. Several times they nearly crashed into a tree, the driver's good reflexes being the only thing saving them from smashing into the huge Red Oaks. Eventually they joined onto a new road, far away from the first.
"Do you think we lost them?", the passenger asked.
"I sincerely hope so.", came the reply.
"Where are we?", asked the passenger, casting a look around.
"I don't know,", said the driver, "I have never seen this road before...".
As they turned the corner they saw a large white building looming up. The driver stopped suddenly, picking up the mic.
He stared for a moment before speaking, "You wont belive this...".
The white building had a sign above the door reading "Aperture Science".
