Chapter 7: A LEAP OF FAITH

Chapter 7 - "A LEAP OF FAITH" - Sluggo You did it! You singlehandedly recalibrated this equipment and charged up a new power cell to boot. We're just about ready to transport everyone out of here -- I just need your help in the control room while we send everyone to safety. I only hope this equipment still works...and we can escape before the military finds out we're here... Saving The Scientists Rosenberg is happy to see you, and is prepping to teleport your small group out of the facility. He now needs your help to operate the machinery, and gives you instructions to go around to the control room and turn on the power. After a few moments, the machine will nearly be ready, but a pipe will rupture and you'll need to run up to the catwalk and turn a release valve to set things right. As you do, two Houndeyes teleport in -- kill them, turn the valve, and go back to the control room. After a few more moments, Rosenberg gives you the signal to open the displacement field damping locks. Hit the button at the window overlooking the lab, and a teleporter ball will be created. Walter goes through first, and then the sequence is repeated for Simmons. Note that you can start to hear military in the surrounding areas. Next up is Rosenberg, who says he's calibrated the machine to automatically run through one extra sequence for you after he's gone. Watch him go through and wait for your turn. Saving Yourself Of course, now that you're the only one left, something's about to go wrong. If you're smart, lay some satchels around the catwalk and wait -- you'll see someone start to blowtorch the door above the control room. Do NOT hit the button opening the displacement locks yet. Kill the first wave of soldiers that come in, and then hit the button opening the displacement field locks. At this point, more soldiers will come in from below. Get out of the control room and head for the teleport ball quickly -- you only have a few moments to make the jump before the equipment fails. Kill anyone you can, and jump into the teleport ball... The Final Shift You appear somewhere apparently just outside the facility, along with the three scientists. Simmons and Rosenberg are trying to fix an SUV, Walter is breaking open a gate with a crowbar...and you're glowing green?... Just as Rosenberg notices something is wrong, you suddenly teleport away...onto a dark platform in Xen! You continue to glow green, and after a few moments, you teleport again, this time to a small storage room. If you climb on the crates and look out, you'll see two soldiers dragging someone away. Apparently they finally caught that Freeman guy...and you teleport away once again. You finally end up back at the yard with the scientists, intact and no longer glowing. They've fixed the SUV, and Rosenberg expresses his relief, explaining that you're lucky not to have been caught in an infinite loop. Whatever you say, scientist guy. Walter pulls the gate open, and the four of you head off to freedom... THE END back to main
