Chapter 1
Will you participate?
Out of the room he got...
He found himself in a half-outdoor half-indoor futuristic place, with fellow humans, most of them scientists. He walked forward very slowly , looking left and right , astonished.
Suddenly he had a flashback, a vision in his eyes:
He remembered scientists walking around him, he saw his hands working on some organism, then handshaking another hand. After that, he heard turbines, the same sounds he had heard at the end of the window's images, and he saw his hands pushing a carrier with a giant golden rock inside. Then he heard: Excuse me sir! . He looked in front of him to find a fellow human wearing sun glasses and grey clothes, and had a beard.
''You appear to be good with your body, how long have you been in existence?'' Asked the man in the grey clothes.
Speechless he stood.
"Ah, 27 years. As it says here on your tag, your name appears to be missing! No worries, you can fix that. We have an assignment, would you like to participate?"
Not knowing what to do, he just nodded.
"Excellent, please take your time to get ready, you have a pretty long walk. The transportation vehicles are not present right now."
He took the word, and began to walk around. All he saw was people in the same clothes as his, and some with the same clothes as the grey-clothed guy, and many were remarkably identical to the grey-suit guy.
The environment outside the futuristic part of the area was a vast desert. He could see pyramid like structures far away. It was day , yet not so hot for a desert.He could see mesas in the open , but not a cactus in sight..
He got back to the grey-suit guy.
"Ah, you are ready, follow me, I'll inform the others about this. How rude of me, you seem new here, my name is Chester ."
The 27 year old was grateful that he wasn't asked his name, he doesn't know…He just followed Chester as he began to inform others , he listened carefully to their conversations to try to find out what was going on.
"This man would like to perform the assignment" . Said Chester.
"Oh, then they will be grateful''. Said the other man, but the 27 year old got curious, who are ''they''?
All he heard was about ''they'' or just a welcome, then they came to a door and he entered alone with Chester. The room was again, half-white half-normal, Chester looked at the man and smiled.
"You seem qualified enough, now let me explain you mission. A young man , almost your age, waits for help near a part of the Black Mesa ruins. Apparently they have found another part that is still infested. You must travel across this land and find him."
He just stared.
''Oh yes! Of course, you'll need weapons , armor, food and water. Follow me…".
He followed Chester to an elevator, as they ascended he saw amazing things. He saw armor, guns, even swords and bows that looked futuristic. The elevator was like a vehicle that transports you up an over sized closet. They came upon a room that seemed to be for the special items.
"Ok, when I looked at your body, it reminded me of this strange orange armor we found years ago. It was found in a city district, the part where the Portal War began and ended."
The 27-year-old was shown to a small changing room inside the armory. He put on the armor easily, but then he had another flash back:
He was in this very same suit, but killing strange creatures, scene by scene. At last he came to a scene of a giant fetus, but this one felt real. It had its back turned to… lets just say his face… It turned to look at him . It had some sort of breathing mask on its face. It raised it finger and pointed at him. He then could hear "Not…your…fault" in an unclear manner.
He woke up from the flash back to see broken glass on the ground.
''I repeat, its not your fault, do not worry" Said Chester .
A robot flew by and began to clean up the mess. He realized that he must have knocked a vase off the table behind him when he was…''flashing back".
The armor he wore was orange and black. It had a ''Lambda" sign on the chest part. It looked like it was designed for handling hazardous material.
"My prediction was right, its fits you like a glove...I'm sorry, don't laugh , but I'm afraid the only weapon I can offer you is this crowbar…The other weapons are not available". Said Chester.
Now, the 27-year-old was ready...

Ok! Plz read and review, and I'd prefer if you comment on grammar as well as ideas, but focus more on the comments on ideas. Thx!
