1. Unforeseen Consequences
In a year somewhere between 2000 and 2009, the Black Mesa Incident had happened. In opened an portal to other lifeforms throughout the universe, letting some people go into their worlds, but mostly those other lifeforms, these lifeforms specifically known as the Xen race, come onto Earth. This is known as the Resonance Cascade theory, when a object resonates to the point of creating a portal to other dimensions and worlds. A scientist named Gordon Freeman had accidentally caused this catastrophic event, by inserting a Xen crystal sample known as "GG-3883" in a test lab.
Black Mesa became ground zero of a war between humans and the Xen. The Xen were extremely hostile and killed every human in sight, not leaving a lot of survivors alive. The situation had quickly out of hand, to the point where the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit , or better known as H.E.C.U. had to step in. Unfortunately, not to save the remaining survives inside of Black Mesa. Their mission was to tie up loose ends, kill every human and alien on sight, especially Freeman, and not let word of this incident come out of Black Mesa. But they soon enough couldn't handle the rampage either and got back to their helicopters and left, but some of those H.E.C.U. Marines got stranded in Black Mesa along with everyone else.
Gordon Freeman survived through the Black Mesa incident, fighting his way through the Xen and H.E.C.U. soldiers with as much firepower he could get his hands on. He wasn't the only survivor, as Isaac Kleiner, Eli Vance, and Barney Calhoun had made it out alive. Once Gordon Freeman had escaped, he went missing for 20 years. A mysterious man known as "G-Man" had frozen him in time until sometime between 2020 - 2029.
2. This Means War
Sometime before he awoke, a inter-dimensional army known as the Combine had taken Earth over. The Combine organization is made up of many different species and parallel universes. They control many universes and have enslaved many species. They are so big and powerful, that their leader is not even heard of. Their main goal was to and still is to rule the Multiverse. To Earth, they are known as the very hostile and relentless police and army force.
Portal storms, the after effects from the Resonance Cascade had forced people into movie into these 'Cities' that were labeled by numbers. governments and armies of Earth fought against the Combine, but were instantly taken down, as the Combine were superior in weaponry and sheer willpower. This war was known as the Seven Hour War, as it only took seven hours for Earth to loose the war. The original administrator of Black Mesa, Wallace Breen, had made a surrender for Earth in order to 'save' mankind from total annihilation. Breen was then made the commander-in-chief of the Combine on Earth because of it.
3. Manipulation
Human were turned into practically slaves. Being controlled and manipulated by the Combine. Forced to wear uniforms that looked like prison outfits, forced to watch what the Combine want them to, forced to eat what they are told to eat. They wanted to stand up, but they were scared. Terrified, even. In the Seven Hour War, humanity could've been done for. It could get even worse for them if they tried once more.
4. Rebellious Behavior
Combine drained Earth's resources, turning it into a gloomy world. Even though mankind was overwhelmed by the Combine, a rebellion was created. Known as the Resistance, using the Lambda symbol as the emblem of their Resistance. They were armed, had scientists, and had hope. Enough hope to believe that they could beat the Combine.
And soon enough, Gordon Freeman was brought of stasis. And he became the hope for the Resistance, their hero. A leader. And the Resistance grew even stronger, as some of the Xen who were also forced into slavery had joined the Resistance. They now had a possible chance of defeating of the Combine, just maybe they could win. They could only hope so.
