| |
| − | Hi Arwin!
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | I know it has been a while since your last message.<br />
| |
| − | I've been in Testing Facility 2-A all the time, cleaning<br />
| |
| − | up the mess Test Subject CC121667 left behind, and<br />
| |
| − | preparing everything for our next testing cycle. I don't<br />
| |
| − | think it's a good idea to accelerate the commence of<br />
| |
| − | the next test cycle, since Facility 2-A took some serious damage<br />
| |
| − | after that unfortunate disaster caused by CC121667.<br />
| |
| − | It's just not ready yet for another test cycle.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | I also want to discuss the matter of our next test subject,<br />
| |
| − | CC100156, AKA Lucy. She was one of our most brilliant<br />
| |
| − | scientists back ''then'', and I'm not sure if it would be<br />
| |
| − | wise to use her for testing purposes. Certainly, she would<br />
| |
| − | have far better odds of completing the course than any test<br />
| |
| − | subject to date, but what if her cryo-amnesia, in combination with<br />
| |
| − | the technologies she will have to test, will cause her to go<br />
| |
| − | haywire and create an even greater mess than CC121667?<br />
| |
| − | After all, the very same happened to him and he wasn't exactly the<br />
| |
| − | brightest light around these parts.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | I hope to hear of you soon. When necessary, I will come to the<br />
| |
| − | Command Tower to speak you in person, but with so much work<br />
| |
| − | left, I'd rather stay here, in Testing Facility 2-A.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | Yours sincerely,<br />
| |
| − | Frank Reagan<br />

| − | == Overview ==
| |
| − | SkyLabs is a modification, not simply for Half-Life 2, but for Portal. The idea was to create a testing course where your tools would feature more than just the Portal Gun. Soon enough this idea was expanded to take place in a whole new facility, the SkyLabs HQ. A huge building, floating in mid-air at 5000 feet height, above City 36. The building survived the Seven Hour War by simply not taking part in it. The technology aboard is far more advanced than anything imagined so far, including powerful light divergation forcefields, and sensor scramblers. Even the Combine couldn't find the building, which might be more a result of them not knowing it even exists than the force fields protecting it. The existence of the building is a highly guarded secret, and thus no-one who knows about it may leave the building. And no-one aboard wants to leave it, with the Combine roaming our planet.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | You take on the role of Subject CC100156, A.K.A. Lucy. You awake in a strange metal cell, and soon enough are sent out to complete a series of tests, while using a wide array of different tools and technologies.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | All the tests will take part 5000 feet above the ground, something which will be clearly visible in certain chambers. Don't fall, since the force fields surrounding the HQ will vaporise you long before you hit the streets of City 36, 5000 feet lower.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | This mod is planned to be episodic. The first episode, named Reaching New Heights, after SkyLabs' slogan, is still in the very beginning state of development. It will probably take months or even years before the first beta version of the mod is playable.<br />

| |
| − | Uhm, yeah, that's it. I won't gather a real team until I got a steady base to build on, as I have no idea if this mod will ever make it beyond the state it's currently in.
