Black Mesa Chronicles

Act 1

Fucking New Guy

Chapter 1

Welcome to Black Mesa

Dr. Eli Vance stepped out of the helicopter, and took a breath of fresh air, Dr. Isaac Kleiner followed him. The security guard inspected them and said, "This everyone today?" Dr. Vance laughed and said, "Not exactly, c'mon out Gordon!" The security guard looked up at the helicopter, a man in his mid twenties stepped out of the helicopter, he had brown hair, with a beard, and the biggest nerd glasses he had ever seen. "Ah, a new guy, I'll let everyone know that your coming Mister…" "Gordon Freeman, he doesn't speak much only when he must, or wants." Kleiner said. "Alright then, Mr. Freeman, you'll probably want to head down to the security HQ to get yourself registered in the security system, and then go get your door number and key to your room, you'll find those in the registration area also, these two Doctors will brief on the rest, have a nice day."

2 hours of paper work later…

…and here is your key to dorm 229 in housing sector 3-A." Gordon took the keys and turned to Eli and Kleiner. "Gordon we are running late, go to you dormitory head down that hall until you reach a large circular intersection go through the hall that says 'System Checking 2-B' then go up the stairs at the end of the hall way go take a right then a left a right another right a left a left and a left head straight down that hall turn right go into the elevator go to the 4th floor head straight till you find another intersection and take a left a left another left head down that hall to another intersection and take a right down to the tram and get off at the second stop then you'll take one more left then you just have to look for your door." Dr. Kleiner said. Gordon nodded and started walking.

"How dare you, you mongrel! You know better than to get in my path!" "Sorry sir, it will never happen again." "Damn right it won't, but if it does someone's job will be at stake!" "I understand…" "Don't give me that shit, you fool, I have half a mind to…" "Hey, back off the man will ya!" "Who the hell are you!?!?" "My name is Gordon Freeman." "Oh, Kleiner's Lap Dog, the one who just came in today, ha, their probably going to put you on waste containment duty if you were taught by that fool!" The scientist said and stormed off. "Gee, thanks, that's the first time a scientist ever stood up for me, and it's the first time anyone stood up to Doctor Magnusson." The guard sighed "Anytime, by the way what's your name?" Gordon asked. "My name is Barney Calhoun; your new here aren't you Mr. Freeman." "Please, call me Gordon." "All right Gordon, need any help with anything?" Barney asked. "Actually, yes, I'm a bit lost, I'm trying to get to my dorm, uhh let me see… ah room 229 sector 3-A." Gordon replied reading the label on his key. "No problem." Barney smiled and led him to the dorm.

"Hey," Barney said as he left Gordon to his room. "catch me later, I'll buy you a beer!" Gordon smiled, and nodded the turned to his room.
