In 2010, GameInformer began a series of articles and posts about Portal. GLaDOS’ takeover of Aperture takes place before the resonance cascade. To expand on that: She died when GLaDOS was activated, because she was at Aperture, because she was a double agent. Why does he go to to the trouble of salvaging a photograph of his wife during the disaster? A possible answer: She was already dead and the photo is all he had left. That picture and Alyx were all I managed to carry out of Black Mesa. It’s conspicuous how Eli never mentions her dying during the resonance cascade, or the 7-Hour War. We are never actually told how Azian Vance died.Īs of the events of Half-Life 2, Alyx’s mother has been long dead. With all this evidence hinting at the existence of double agents, where are these characters? Where are the scientists that worked for both Black Mesa and Aperture Science?Ģ.
This might only be an easter egg, though it might mean something more as well: One panel from the official Portal comic Lab Rat shows Black Mesa technology being developed at Aperture. Various technologies from Aperture and Black Mesa also look suspiciously similar: Black Mesa can eat my bankrupt-Įric Wolpaw, one of the writers of Valve’s games, had this to say on Portal:īy suggesting a long-term rivalry between Aperture Science and Black Mesa, we open up possibilities in both games that didn’t exist when they were separate entities. And you most likely used one of the many products we invented, but other people have somehow managed to steal from us. You might know us as a vital participant in the 1968 senate hearings on missing astronauts. Greetings, friend! I’m Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science.
Black Mesa and Aperture Science spied on each other. The evidence is scattered accross various games, articles and interviews, so it may only make sense when the pieces are put together. Let’s start with the Portal-Half-Life connection. Aperture Science and Black Mesa competed for research funding, which lead to increasingly madder science.
