Oh, it's the intercom.

Ah, I'm not the only one who's late.
SUCKER!
Ha hah!
PA: The time is 8:47 AM.
Shit!
I didn't know I was THAT late!

PA: 93 degrees 8:47...
PA: with an estimated high of 105. I am so dead.
PA: The Black Mesa Compound is maintained Shit...
PA: at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times.
I need to buy a watch; I'm already on probation with the company.
They could fire me.
PA: This train is inbound from
Oh well!
PA: Level 3 Dormitories to What can you do?
PA: Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities.
Bzzt!
PA: If your intended destination
PA: is a high-security area High-security...
PA: beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9,
Am I on the right train?
PA: and board a high-security train.
PA: If you have not yet submitted your identity to the Retinal Clearance System,
PA: you must report to Oh! What's this?
PA: Black Mesa personnel
PA: for processing before you will be permitted
PA: into the High Security Branch Huh... what...?
PA: of the Transit System. Yeah, "High Security"!
That's why we leave armed missiles lying around for everyone to check out.
It's part of the tour.
PA: Due to the high toxicity of material
routinely handled in the Black Mesa Compound,
PA: no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted
PA: within the Black Mesa Transit System. Fascists!
Yeah, whatever, I'll drink a 40-ounce up here if I feel like it.
PA: Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times.
Yeah, well, I'll stick my arms out the window if I-- Okay, maybe not.
PA: ...until the train has complete halt at the station platform.
PA: In the event of an emergency,
passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction.
Hey, what's going on there?
PA: If it is necessary to exit the train,
PA: disabled personnel should be
PA: evacuated first. I should've been a pilot.
PA: Please, stay away from electrified rails,
Hah!
PA: and proceed to an emergency station Wow...
PA: until assistance arrives.
Man, how dumb would you have to be?
I mean, they're not gonna to say something like that
unless somebody's already tried to do it, right?
I guess if I was drunk enough, I might climb out the window here
and pull some hangtime on the electrified tram rail.
That kind of reminds me of that squirrel that got caught
between the power lines one day back at MIT.
The thing caught on fire and got fused to the wires,
which caused a transformer to blow up and knock out the power to all of campus.
That squirrel must've cost the university at least $10,000.
That was a good day.
PA: A reminder that the Black Mesa Hazard Course Decathlon
Oh man!
PA: will commence this evening at 1900 hours
I forgot about that!
PA: at the Level 3 Facility.
PA: The semi-finals for High Security Personnel will be announced
PA: in a separate Secure Access Transmission.
I need to practice.
PA: Remember: more lives than your own may depend on your fitness.
What? We're physicists.
PA: Do you have a friend or relative who would make
PA: a valuable addition to the Black Mesa Team?
I don't believe in friends.
PA: Immediate openings are available in areas of:
PA: Materials Handling and
PA: Low-Clearance Security Oh, cool! A robot!
Robots are the only friends I need.
PA: ...for further information.
Man!
PA: If you have an associate with a background Look at that thing!
PA: in the areas of: theoretical physics, Looks like a giant worker ant.

PA: Civilian Recruitment Division.
That's awesome.
PA: The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal-opportunity employer.
Man, they're still talking about hiring?
I guess my cousin Jessie needs a job.
If only he wasn't a sex-offender,
it would be so much easier to find something for him.
PA: A reminder to all Black Mesa Personnel:
PA: Regular radiation and biohazard screenings
PA: are a requirement of continued employment
PA: in the Black Mesa Research Facility Bluh! Don't remind me.

PA: in the course of your duties,
PA: contact your Radiation Safety Officer
PA: immediately. Hey, what's that green crap?
PA: Work safe, work smart. What is this?
PA: Your future depends on it. Jesus Christ! Look at this place!
This is a DISASTER!
PA: Now arriving at That's gotta be toxic.
PA: Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. God, the EPA is going to tear us apart
if they find out about that.
Well, I'm not saying anything.
I don't want to get called into court as a witness on this
once the cat gets out of the bag.
PA: Please stand back from the automated door
PA: and wait for the security officer to verify your identity.
Locked!
PA: Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings.
Hm...
PA: Thank you, and have a very safe and productive day.
GUARD: Morning, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you're runnin' late.
Yeah, you know what? I don't even care anymore.
By the time I get suited up, I'm going to be over an hour late.
I figure, I'm either fired or I'm not.
Is someone following me?
Okay, good.
Yeah, I'm just going to stroll in there like I own the damned place,
take my time, maybe get some doughnuts...
If I'm fired, I could probably jack some office supplies or computer equipment
or something on the way out.
I could just stuff things in a big duffel bag, nobody's going to notice.
Hmm, y'know, Steve's never in his cubicle.
I could just walk right up and take his laptop.
Hell! I could grab that color laser printer from Accounting. That thing's nice!
That's gotta be worth a couple grand right there.
Huh, I wonder if it can print money...
