half life and portal enjoyers check this shit out
this is Black Mesa’s version of the female black ops assassins from HL1. She’s wearing Aperture’s long fall boots, or at least a modified version of them.
black mesa was canonized by valve too which means like. aperture must have either been partnered with deep level government shit, or the government must have stolen the technology. anyway if any loreheads wanna add on to this post that would be sick asfuck thankz
I did notice they tended to be a little more… bouncy than the base HL version! Aperture being the Black Ops tech supplier the way Black Mesa is the Marines’ tech supplier would set them up as both business rivals and battlefield opposites. I could see Black Ops survivors holding the Borealis, keeping the Combine at bay for decades, and suddenly Freeman&Co. show up to take it away from them and they’re like, naw, we know you and we haven’t spent twenty years protecting our personal mystery box just to hand it over to some Black Mesa goon! Lookit that idiot in his SHOOT ME suit. who does he think he is. Someone get a nuke and blow his ass back to Xen.
