"Do you have a plan in how to get to the Washington wastelands," asked Ulysses "I have never ventured there, but I heard stories."
"In my dimension city 666 is or was Washington DC," said Gordon "Is the last combine strong hold,"
"A fitting number for the beast 666," said Ulysses
"I can simply teleport us outside of Washington DC." said Gordon "The rest of the way we can walk."
"Teleport?" said Ulysses
Gordon Freeman put in the coordinates for a location outside Washington DC as he doesn't have a current map of DC, although the pip-boy he scanned has little information. He placed his hand upon Ulysses shoulder as it startled the man a little bit.
"Like this," said Gordon
They both are teleported away.
Megaton: Capitol Wastelands
It has been roughly four years since the lone wanderer helped this town as the bomb that is here is disabled for good and people are going about their business as clean water is being distributed all over the place like gold. Thanks in part to project purity as the water is now clean to drink and the people are happy. Also some people are listening to Galaxy News Radio as three dog is speaking. Then suddenly out of no where two people appeared in which they don't recognize Gordon Freeman or Ulysses as it startled them at first. The sheriff of Megaton came walking towards them.
"Fancy way of appearing out of no where," said the sheriff
"It's no big deal, my friend and I are passing through," said Gordon
"Stay out of trouble," said the sheriff
"Megaton," said Ulysses "Built around an old bomb, which did not detonate. Interesting."
Gordon and Ulysses kept on walking to the entrance until they both her the man speak in the radio as it is Galaxy news Radio.
"News flash folks" said three dog "Word is some serious shit when down in New Vegas and would you believe it ding, dong Mr. House is dead! What a weird asshole. Fighting the good fight is some girl called courier 6 and get this, she got shot in the head. Only to come back from the dead and kill the guy who shot her in the head, talk about irony."
"I should know I was there," said Gordon
"Also some ally was with her," said three dog "Someone called the One-Fucking-Free-Man, what kind of name is that. Get this he comes from another dimension….oh scary. In battling an alien empire, sounds like a fucking comic book if you ask me. Damn isn't that-what the fuck?"
"Mister Three dog isn't it," said the G-man "I assure you that Misster Gordon Freeman is indeed real despite your lack of imagination and oh Misster Freeman if you are listening pay no mind to these narrow-minded simpletons as he is already here. Megaton of course"
"Hey who the hell are you calling a simpleton," said three dog "What is a simpleton anyway."
"Your lack of vocabulary skills is deplorable," said G-man "So I shall take my leave and now back to your regular program already in progress."
"Shit I was going to say that," said three dog "Now I need a damn beer. Ok Gordon Freeman get your ass to the pentagon as the Brotherhood of Steel is waiting for you and one more thing stop by a my station, we need some serious shit to talk about."
If you are this Gordon Freeman," said the sheriff "I will use my pip-boy to transfer information to you," they do just that "Take this route if you like and check out Rivet city as the lone wander from vault 101 collected a lot artifacts from American history,"
"History of the old world America," said Ulysses "I shall personally look at this myself,"
"Best we get on the move," said Gordon
"Agreed," said Ulysses
So the two left Megaton city and are on the move as the city gates closed behind them.
Washington Wastelands
It is day time here considering and it still looked dead outside, but there appears to be a lot of vegetation growing for some strange reason, both of them passed by a small town near a ruined school as it had nothing important there and they kept on moving listening to annoying old style music that can be heard from the pip-boy and then they see a supermarket begin guarded by a few Brotherhood of Steel soldiers. Then they are taking a detour through a small portion of town that a person can see piles of dead ants and people there as well.
Nothing important there as they used the underground rail line as it is dark, but Gordon's suit used light to keep them moving and he used his omni-tool combined with the pip-boy to get a location of Rivet city as it is the right route to get there. Occasionally they come across a feral ghoul or a rat or a cockroach, however Gordon along with Ulysses disposed of them and used the route to find them selves outside and then kept on moving as an eerie calm is in the air Until finally coming upon an air-craft carrier that acts as a city called Rivet City.
"Interesting place to put a city," said Ulysses "I will go inside to examine these artifacts, why don't you keep on moving, I will catch up with you later."
"Ok have fun," said Gordon
Gordon watched as Ulysses head to the inside of Rivet city and then he himself headed to another train line to head to GNR or Galaxy News Radio as the trip is long and lonely, but he doesn't care and he came across some mercenaries looking to make a big score, however Gordon killed them fairly quickly as he wasn't interested in talking to them and then finally heading top side he came upon a ruined area guarded by the BoS soldiers. He walked towards the entrance as the soldiers have their weapons aimed at him.
"State your business," said the BoS soldier
"Gordon Freeman to see Three Dog," said Gordon
"Inside now," said the soldier
Gordon heads inside as the place is a mess but hears the man over the radio speaking.
"More news folks some weird crap going down in the Commonwealth and get this," said Three Dog "And it seems-"Gordon walks in "Never mind the one free-fucking man is here,"
"Nice to meet you too sunshine," said Gordon
"Heh, smart-ass," said Three Dog "So what is your story, are you really a person from another dimension battling an alien empire that is bent on conquering other dimensions."
"It is best I told my story in it's entirely," said Gordon "And all of your listeners better listen as this effects everyone in this dimension. The combine does have allies and who knows their allies may have been manipulating you behind the scenes."
"Ok…" said Three dog
He started explain about himself as he is or was a native of Seattle, Washington life in which he always had it's ups and downs since he got a job to join Black Mesa research facility, as he told them he was an orphan with no parents in which the only thing that people found on him at when he was found on the door step of an orphanage is his name and nothing more.
Gordon explained that he was already regarded as the quiet type and willing to adapt to any situation until he was in his teens as the orphanage at first put money away for him to go to college considering how smart Gordon is who is willing to learn and grow upon in life.
His childhood heroes were Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Richard Feynman because books were his friends in which that is all he had. He told them about an exhibited an early interest in theoretical physics, especially quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. After observing a series of teleportation experiments conducted by the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck, the transmission of matter became Gordon's obsession.
He told them he had no known dependents. As he explained he graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics. His doctoral thesis on the teleportation of matter through extremely dense elements was titled Observation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement on Supraquantum Structures by Induction through Nonlinear Transuranic Crystal of Extremely Long Wavelength (ELW) Pulse from Mode-Locked Source Array.
He told them he took up residence in Black Mesa however his job in general in regards was nothing more than a joke like manual labor, despite his qualifications. Consisting of little more than pressing a button and pushing a cart as he found that to be a little embarrassing at times, but it paid well and Gordon often wondered if he would be doing this utter nonsense for the rest of his life. At time he spent in Black Mesa he only said a few words and kept his mouth shut most of the time, he considered himself a little anti-social being an orphan and all.
An inter-dimensional rift in space time happened and his world changed forever, as he told them in detail in which he became something he would never thought in becoming. A hero, he never dreamed he was one. In which he explained he survived all the challenges and got the respect of a few people for his acts of bravery. Then he wound up in another dimension called Xen and doing battle against an alien warlord named Nihilanth
He told them to never mind about the name, as he told them he killed the alien warlord and then he was confront by a being he despises the most, the G-man. The people noticed in the room how angry he got with that name. He was given a choice to live or die in a form of a deal. Gordon did not want to do either, then all of sudden the choice was made but not by him. No it was the G-man himself. Gordon explained in detain It wasn't until two decades later he had learned the G-man put him in a place far from time, space, thought and even Earth itself.
The G-man stated the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world it wouldn't be an understatement it is a fact as Gordon found himself in the middle of the occupation by an inter-dimensional alien empire known as the Combine. They in fact conquered the Earth in seven hours thanks in part to a traitor named Dr. Wallace Breen, that name alone made his blood boil. Then he went to explain uprisings, creatures and other things as well in which began as Gordon helped in many ways often doing battle against combine forces until finally driven out of his dimension.
Then finally he explained after the death of a friend of his, his other friends went off to the artic in finding a ship owned by Black Mesa had survived and after discovering technology like the Hazardous Environmental Suit that was on board the Borealis Finally told them he went on several adventures in other dimensions
Everyone who heard this broadcast is like shit he is real man fighting the good fight and three dog is having a hard time believing it himself however it got him and everyone else is thinking, all the events that have transpired in the past could have been manipulated by these Combine or their allies in. What if the bombs were never dropped and WW3 was adverted, all the suffering death and pain right up to this moment never happened. Many things didn't add up and it pissed everyone off, could the one-free-man be right about this.
"I don't know about you folks," said Three dog "I am going on a long break," he turned to Gordon "Everyone has a lot to think about."
"Indeed they do," said Gordon
Gordon then left the GNR as the BoS soldiers saluted him as he headed back to the train line to head to the next destination as it is dark and lonely as he used the directions to get to another location in which it is the near the Pentagon. It started to rain outside and thunder as ruins of a mighty battle took place as the scars of war is still transparent. So then he used a side bridge to come upon the pentagon as several BoS soldiers are guarding the front entrance.
"I'm Gordon Freeman," said Gordon
They opened the doors for him to head inside and so he does just that.
BoS Headquarters: Washington DC
Inside it looked like a training area as the BoS are practicing shooting until an elderly man in red robes and a blonde woman in armor came towards him.
"Gordon Freeman," said Elder Lyons "Welcome,"
"We heard your broadcast," said Paladin Lyons "I am still pissed off,"
"We have much to discuss," said Elder Lyons "And something to show you,"
Gordon nodded as they headed inside and downwards as a space ship is there and a familiar looking device he had seen before in a few dimensions.
"We got this alien craft awhile ago," said Paladin Lyons "My boyfriend liberated it as he is called the Lone Wanderer, and if you are wondering where he is. He is exploring Empire city with a squad of BoS. When we tested the weapons in the craft we accidentally shot something down a device over there."
"I have seen this device before," said Gordon "It's a combine communications satellite array that acts also as an spy surveillance as well."
"Can it be salvaged," said Paladin Lyons
"Perhaps I can find something in the archives of the array," said Gordon
He gets to work as it took a nasty hit as he does what he can to make it work and then about 10 minutes later everything comes alive in which holographic images are shown of a gray alien and a Combine overseer. Dated 2077
"Is your spy in place," said the Overseer
"Yes master," said the gray "When the word is given the bomb will be dropped and massive confusion will occur in destroying one another,"
"Good do not fail us," said the Overseer "This dimension is yours to do what you like and you have done well to make sure the manipulations do happen like we planned. Now begin operation scorched Earth."
"It shall be done master." Bowed the gray alien
Then it shows an image of the bomb dropping as is thousands more around the globe that brought everyone except for Gordon as indeed the one-free-man had been right.
"The transmission logs state the source of the transmission had come from the moon," said Gordon "Near the sea of tranquility,"
"Paladin prepare the battalion of Lyons pride," said the Elder "To the moon as we will use the ship to get there."
"At once father," said the Paladin "Care to join us Mr. Freeman,"
"I am always up for action," said Gordon
It wasn't long before the battalion was assembled and boarded the ship with Gordon tagging along, then the craft hovers slowly to the surface and above the pentagon as their next stop is the moon.
Meanwhile on the moon
"We have discovered the device," said the gray "Location Washington Wastelands, BoS headquarters."
"Very well," said the gray leader "Send an attack force to attack that place and retrieve the device, destroy everyone else."
The order is given as an attack force consisting of five saucer ships take off from the hidden space port on the moon and then their next stop is Earth.
