Miric signaled for the Combine Captain to place an explosive device on the door. Not having any choice but to obey, he did so. The team took cover as the door blew in, sending piece of metal flying anywhere.

"Unit Five Three Seven, search for the project. I'm going to look for Doctor Vance", Miric pulled down the gasmask, activating Night vision as the base went into Emergency Mode.

Turning down a corner, Miric noticed a sign, "Hazardous Enviromental Suit Test Chamber? I remember that from Black Mesa!"

Opening the door, Miric was met by several HEV prototypes. He noticed one of them had blood stains on it. On further inspection, Miric noticed the name Gordon Freeman ontop of the container.

"We found it near the entrance to Black Mesa," A voice disrupted Mirics thoughts "We presumed Gordon had died. A week later, we found his crowbar, no corpse. Not even an intestine"

Miric looked for the source of the voice.

"So, you're here to clean up the mess we're trying to stop from happening?", suddenly Eli stepped forth from behind a bookshelf.

"Doctor Vance, you have to come with me", Miric demanded.

Eli laughed, "So you can do what? Execute me? Make it look like an accident?"

Grabbing a hold of his arm, Miric began to pull Eli with him, "Doctor Breen want's a project. What does it do?"

"Why should i tell you? Not like you're going to get out of here alive!"

Miric sighed and took off his gasmask, "Because i'm going to try and stop what's happening. I've seen it happening before!"

"But you're supposed to be dead!", Eli exclaimed

"There's no time to explain. The Combine will be here any moment, quickly, where is the project?"

Eli ran over to a keypad, turning it to the side to reveal a second keypad. Punching in the code, the wall slid to the left revealing a suit of some sort.

"And that is...?", Miric asked as he approached what looked like a futuristic version of the HEV Suit

"We call it the TDS Suit. Time Dialation Searcher. It searches for a rift in Time, and in theory, is able to shift dimensions", Eli unlocked the container

Approaching the suit, Miric reached out to touch it, "It feels like... Metal? How is that any good for travelling between dimensions?"

Eli sighed, "You won't understand. Put it on, you may be able to get out of here alive before the Combine arrives"

Miric looked at it and pulled it out of the container, beginning to put it on over his vest.

"So what do i do?", he asked and looked for buttons

"Concentrate on the location. You wi-", Eli was interrupted by banging on the door. He quickly locked the secret room, "You haven't got much time. Quickly, think of a timeline you wish to go to"

Miric looked around as everything began to turn to an orange color, he quickly covered his eyes as a bright flash seemed to explode into his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself outside the labaratory, with ruins where the town once stood.

Entering the street, he found himself standing in nothing but ruins. Picking up a newspaper, he saw a headline which shocked him, Alien Forces invade Earth!

Miric suddenly realised why the city seemed so empty; It had been completely destroyed. In a radius of three kilometers from the city's center, everything had been destroyed. Nothing but a crater remained.

He looked up as he saw an Osprey engage a Combine Gunship...
