Also, you dropped some of these: ooroooro

So, Aperture Science shut down after the Borealis incident? Before Black Mesa it would appear. Still doesn't explain how Chell got there though.

Bring your daugther to work day.

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 11th, 2007, 13:36

Well yeah, but that doesn't explain much.

You start in a detention chamber, maybe Chell was left behind.

But who would leave their daughter at work when they left for good?

Nerve gas?

Just because someone fitted a morality core afterwards didn't mean they went exploring in the facility.

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 11th, 2007, 15:57

Possibly, but why clean up the bodies, ignore the girl, fit the morality core, then fuck off and leave GLaDOS to run things?

Here's something. Eli says something about Kleiner and Magnusson competing for funding back in the old days. It's quite possible that Magnusson worked for Aperture Science, and he wasn't there when they were discussing the Borealis.

He could have, at some point in his career, but we know Magnusson was at Black Mesa when All Hell Broke Loose because you fry his microwave casserole in Half-Life 1

True, although it doesn't say when he fried the casserole. He could have gone to Aperture Science from Black Mesa. Probably not though.

I missed that reference - I thought I remembered Alyx saying BM and AS (by association with what was on the screen) used to compete for funds.

Well, sometime between you getting off the internal train and going in to the test chamber.

We see that referred to in Portal too on the projectors. Looks like BM got the lion's share of the funding.

There was a microwave in the area where you get the Haz Suit which was interactive, I believe. Can't remember if it generated a comment or not.

Post by **deject** » November 15th, 2007, 23:17

it's before you put on the HEV suit, I believe in the same hallway though. You hit the microwave like 5 times and the food explodes. The scientist sitting down says something like "Hey what are you doing?"

I remember that bit

Im surprised no one has mentioned this yet: Just before the final aspload, crazy computer lady says something to the effect of "you dont want to go outside, its not like you remember". Now, admittedly, that could just be because its been a long time, or it could just be more lies, but I took that to be a reference to the Combine.
