The Xenian biosphere was incredibly hostile, and thus these expeditions were considered extremely hazardous, resulting in the death or capture of dozens of researchers. Attracted by scientific curiosity, particularly toward the properties of exotic minerals found on the alien world to aid in their teleportation research, Black Mesa's Lambda Team launched multiple survey expeditions to the Borderworld to collect samples of Xenian flora and fauna. Sometime prior to the Incident, researchers at the Black Mesa Research Facility had discovered an extradimensional realm, formally known as the Borderworld, but colloquially referred to as Xen, while developing teleportation technology. 2 Immediate effects and military response.Though Freeman's actions halted the invasion, the portal storms that occurred as a consequence of the incident continued to intensify, ultimately attracting the attention of a powerful interdimensional empire known as the Combine to launch an invasion and subsequent occupation of Earth. Freeman's whereabouts would remain unknown for decades, as he disappeared immediately after these events. Prior to the facility's destruction, Black Mesa scientist Gordon Freeman had been teleported to the Borderworld by the Lambda Team, where he successfully killed the creature coordinating the invasion and holding the rift open. The ensuing desperate conflict between the survivors and increasing numbers of alien creatures led to the government authorizing the facility's destruction with a nuclear device, which destroyed the facility and eradicated the invasion. The United States government dispatched a military expeditionary force to the facility to contain the invasion and silence witnesses, however, they suffered heavy casualties and were compelled to quickly withdraw.
The survivors quickly realized the presence of the aliens was not an accident, and were in fact the vanguard of an invasion. The attempt failed and it was deduced that a powerful being was deliberately holding the rift open. The experiment triggered a rare quantum event known as a Resonance Cascade, which ruptured the space-time continuum and allowed extradimensional beings from a realm known as the Borderworld to teleport into the facility.īlack Mesa personnel who had survived the initial incident attempted a resonance reversal using an orbiting satellite to seal the tear. Stay tuned to local news media outlets for further details and information on this situation.The Black Mesa Incident, also referred to as the Lambda Incident, was a catastrophic event resulting from an experiment carried out by the Anomalous Materials department at the Black Mesa Research Facility. Do not use telephones or cell phones except in the case of emergencies. If you live inside the evacuation area and have no transportation locate your nearest police department or military officer. If you are not in the evacuation zone stay where you are. Do not return to the warning area until the all-clear has been given. Follow local evacuation routes that have been marked by local authorities and only use one vehicle. Make sure to bring an emergency supply of food, water, clothing, first-aid kit, flashlights with extra batteries, and battery powered radios. An on-site military has been dispatched to provide assistance. An immediate evacuation order has been issued for all residents with a 75 mile radius of the facility.
At 9:27am Mountain Time a disaster of unknown type has occurred at the Black Mesa Research Facility causing significant damage and failure to various power and communication systems in the surrounding areas. The following message is transmitted at the request of local authorities.
