"A Red Letter Day"
From Valve Developer Community
With Alyx finally finding you outside where the Combine attacked, she explains how there is finally a way to get people through City 17 without the Combine knowing. Showing you a secret entracne to Dr. Kleiners lab, Kliener explains how the way of getting people out is a simple portal. If you look to your left at the entracne fo the room there is a sample mini version of what he's talkin about. Play with it long enough and it will eventually break with the cactus gone. This gives the player a thought that the teleporter might fail like this.
Barney comming in for his break shows the player the hazard suit once again. As he opens the suit case he's attacked by a creature, Lamar the Headcrab (Kliener calls him a "cat") Barney takes off the headcrab, Kliner explains its debeaked and can only attempt to "Mate" with your head.
Finaly getting into your suit you go to the portal room. So Eli(Alyx's dad) come on the screen of the TV saying that they're ready to send Alyx through. Starting up the machine it suddenly goes off, the plug. Plugging it back in the machine goes fully and actually works! Alyx is on the other side with her dad. Kliner finally sending you through is now ready. How ever a siren startes to blare, Lamar is out of the vents and on to you!
Lamar interfering with the teleportaion is now making you teleport to random places, Lamar who got left behind in the process, is no more a threat to you, how ever, the teleportaion is still jacked up. Teleporting back to the lab and to Eli's your helpless. Kliners trying his best to stop the machine. Ending up at Breen's office sometime he finds you and says "What are you doing here? WHO ARE YOU?" Going back to the lab Barney says he's going in, but the machine will truly rip him into shreads. Back into Breen's office, hes talking into a Larva of some sort. "I could have sworn it was...Gordon Freeman..." Breen's last words before you teleport again, you end up in the water with that sea monster from Half-Life 1. Outside the lab where the machine was Kliner tells you to escape from the city and go to Eli's lab on foot.
