Breen attempts to flee in a teleporter, but is presumed dead after Freeman destroys the dark energy reactor at the Citadel's top. He is temporarily captured, but freed by Dr. Freeman fights his way through the Citadel, making his way to Breen's office. Eli Vance and his daughter are subsequently captured by the Combine, and Freeman helps the resistance forces attack the Combine's Citadel to rescue them, fighting alongside Barney. Eventually, Freeman sparks a full revolution amongst the human citizens after destroying Nova Prospekt, a major Combine base and troop-production facility. When his presence is made known to former Black Mesa administrator and Combine spokesman Wallace Breen, Freeman becomes a prime target for the Combine forces. The Xen aliens, the Vortigaunts, who have been enslaved by the Combine, also assist the resistance. In the Eastern European settlement City 17, Freeman meets surviving members of the Black Mesa incident, including Isaac Kleiner, Barney Calhoun, Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx Vance, and aids in the human resistance against Combine rule. Nearly twenty years later, Half-Life 2 opens as the G-Man brings Freeman out of stasis and inserts him into a dystopian Earth ruled by the Combine, a faction consisting of human and alien members, that used the dimensional rift caused at Black Mesa to conquer Earth in the interim. Barney Calhoun, a security officer, also escaped from the facility with Dr. The G-Man then destroys Black Mesa with a nuclear warhead, and detains Shephard in stasis. Back in Black Mesa, a second alien race begins an invasion, but is stopped when a Marine corporal, Adrian Shephard, collapses its portal in the facility. On Xen, Freeman eliminates the alien "leader" and is confronted by the G-Man, who offers Freeman employment before putting him into stasis. Freeman fights through the facility to meet with several other scientists, who decide to travel to the alien dimension to stop the aliens.
Attempts by the Black Mesa personnel to close the rift are unsuccessful, leading to a Marine Recon unit being sent in to silence the facility, including any survivors from the science team. Gordon Freeman, a recently employed theoretical physicist, is involved in an experiment analyzing an unknown crystalline artifact however, when the anti-mass spectrometer beam contacts the crystal, it creates a resonance cascade that opens a dimensional rift between Black Mesa and another world called Xen, causing monsters to swarm Black Mesa and kill many of the facility's personnel.
The Half-Life series begins in the 2000s, at the fictional Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico.
