You are Gordon Freeman... It was a normal working day. Scattered Xen aliens were hiding even in the rear corners of the Black Mesa research facility. It slowly return normality in everyday work. The old not been destroyed buildings have been modernized slowly. You return from a normal disposal order, as in parts of the institution the power goes out. Power generators to keep running on the main equipment and and your mission is to restore the energy supply. On the half way you notice more and more Xen returnes to Black Mesa and the military is back ... Uncover a new, exciting plot in the Half-Life universe!
Very basic still this looks like some sort of security checkpoint in that case the book shelves are misplaced in it even though if it does looks great. Better add some terminals at that place or a weapon locker etc.
Research station ;-)
No, it's not a bad idea; there is nothing to do other than read books or play video games when you're working as a security guard, right? But since it's a research station I guess what I just said is meaningless.
