Lost Industry

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Author’s Description: “Far East from City 14, in a combine weapon factory…

Metrocops and Combine soldiers are securing this place, making sure everything is safe and nothing goes wrong.

Rebel activity is rare, thanks to the factory’s defense force. The air is heavy and it’s cold, every part of this facility feels unsafe, it’s not made for a man like yourself.

The factory noises never stop, there is no silence. Rumors say that the Combine enslaving citizens and bringing them here where they are treating them within inhuman conditions.

It’s time to put an end to this, but be aware the AirEx facility is not far from your current position, make sure you breath air in just as many as you need, and don’t stick around for too long.“
