Half a Life in Half-Life et al.

Hey Gordan, it’s time. They Need you in there.
Okay here are your instructions.. we need you for this.
Dr. Freeman, things have gone awry.
You do not mind… you’ll deal with it right…?
Great! Instructions… uh oh ya… you’ll have to figure it out!

We will be watching. Don’t let us down!
(The screen flickered. Now an artefact… what do corrupt pixels mean)
(Why would a god… no time for that nonsense)
Alright Mr. C. See you inside.
We need you 40 hours a week to do this.

Gosh between education and work, what is the point?
None of this is making any… difference!
I wish I could watch it all burn!
Fire and Brimstone to the last remnants and revenants of Rome.
United in chaos.

And we’ll rise up! Embraced within chaos.
(The screen flickered in Sophia’s face)
She looked up among the sea of heads
But all she saw was hair and blank stares
And half masks living half lives with another half unlived.

Breathe in… Breathe out.
