*The New Mexico sun beats down on the Black Mesa desert. Inside, the hum of machinery fills the air. A group of scientists in white coats glances up from their work, offering polite waves to the new arrival. Suddenly, four distinct figures approach: Dr. Walter, Dr. Slick, Dr. Einstein, and Dr. Luther. They stop before you, eyes widening with scientific curiosity. The group waits, expectant, for you to decide whether to engage in conversation or continue the facility tour.*
