Stellar mod for Half-Life 2

In 1969 something truly incredible happened. It was the summer of love, hippies and Woodstock when Jac Denver realised his dream of being the first human to set foot on the moon. As he lay on the soft sweet grass of Virginia, peering up to the sky, he knew he was only hours away from fulfilling his destiny.

The ride up there was great, it was just like they had acted out hundreds of times before. Everything went to plan, everyone kept cool and focused just like they had been trained. Hundreds of checks had been carried out during the flight. By now the whole team could flick switches and twist knobs in synchronised parrot fashion they were so conditioned. Even the landing couldn't have gone better.

As the dust settled on the moons surface, the team strapped on their space suits and slowly, one by one, exited the rocket, making their delicate way onto the alien planet. Houston piped up through their com packs again, relaying more information and various technical data. The team allowed themselves a brief moment of insanity, wildly jumping up and down as they looked at the boundless planet before them. There in the distance stood the most perfect, the most beautiful depiction of the earth in all its blue splendour. All of this was being fed back down to earth for the whole world to watch. Quickly the team focused once again and set about organising various experiments and material collections.

Bobby Morillio, a scientific specialist with the crew, suddenly halted in his tracks. The entire team stopped what they were doing. Houston weren't relaying the constant flow of data, back to them. They had lost contact. The line was dead.

Back in Virginia, John Denver watched his son on the small black and white TV in proudness at what his son had achieved. The video feed never cut out once despite Houston loosing contact with them. Houston didn't even realise their equipment on the moon wasn't transmitting anymore. They were non the wiser as the feed continued and orders were seemingly continuing to be carried out.

Before the space crew realised, they had been engulfed in a thick powerdery fog. The training hadn't prepared them for this - there IS no fog on the moon! It simple isn't possible.

Suddenly they all awake and find themselves lying on clinical tables strapped down and half naked. Each glanced over at the next man, pale and frightened. The straps violently retract into their holdings, seemingly freeing their captors. They all each in turn slowly stand up gripping the metallic tables as they feel their heads become heavy. Jac taking in a sharp breath mutters a barely audible command to make a break for it. Surprisingly nobody stops them. They freely make their way out of the short labyrinth of clean and clinical corridors. Smashing open the doors Jac can barely believe his eyes. Where the hell were they?
