| Alyx Vance: Looks like a shrine to Dr. Breen. |
| Citizen: I don't miss Dr. Breen, but I do miss his show. Remember when he had the jugglers on? |
| Dr. Isaac Kleiner: On a lighter note, if you are already in one of our designated safe zones, I feel obliged to point out that a more fortunate side-effect of the reactor's destruction is the complete removal of the Combine's reproductive suppression field. Previously, certain protein chains important to the process of embryonic development were selectively prevented from forming. This is no longer the case. For those so inclined, now would be an excellent time for procreation. Which is to say, in layman's terms, you should give serious consideration to doing your part for the revival of the species. We must make the most of the time we have, as it is by no means certain how much time we have secured ourselves before the Combine attempt to restore their dominion, as they certainly shall. Alyx Vance: Uh, is Dr. Kleiner really telling everyone to... 'get busy'? |
| Dr. Isaac Kleiner: [over the public address system] Yes. Very well. I... I am not much of a public speaker but I'll... I'll do my best. [clears throat] Dr. Isaac Kleiner: Fellow citizens, residents of City 17 and environs. By which I mean sentient residents of course. Human and otherwise although I believe there's little need to explain recent developments to our Vortigant allies. At any rate, first as a matter of great urgency if you find yourself still within the confines of City 17 you are well advised to leave the city at once by the fastest means avalible to you! |
| Alyx Vance: Gordon, you know what'd be cool? Actually, I can't think of anything cooler than what just happened. Think it's dead? Maybe you should whack it with the crowbar just in case. |
| Citizen: Sometimes I think everybody's a doctor but me. |
| Citizen: Dr. Kleiner says we can mate now. Not that I needed his permission. |
| [first lines] G-Man: We'll see... about *that*. |
| [first lines] Dr. Wallace Breen: Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can. You have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not. |
| Alyx Vance: I've heard stories about you and airducts. Doctor Kleiner says whenever he locked himself out of his office you and Barney used to compete to see who could get in fastest without using a key. |
| Citizen: What idiot put Kleiner in charge? |
| Alyx Vance: A Combine zombie. Zombie Combine. That's, that's like a... ah... a Zombine! Right? Heh... |
| Citizen: We're all starving and Kleiner's headcrab's probably eating Grade A head. |
| [G-Man's only line in the game] G-Man: [threateningly] We'll see about that. |
| Citizens: You're Kleiner's daughter, right? Alyx Vance: [sarcastically] Um... no, my dad's Odessa Cubbage. |
| Alyx Vance: Well, Gordon... unless you have a better suggestion... He is a robot. He's done the math. [to Dog] Alyx Vance: You did do the math, right? [Dog sheepishly shakes his head] |
| Alyx Vance: Aren't you going to speak up for me, Gordon? |

Description Half-Life 2: Aftermath brings you the new adventures of Gordon Freeman and his able sidekick Alyx. At the end of Half-Life 2, you did critical damage to the Citadel. The whole place is going to go up, taking out City 17 and what's in its immediate radius. In this expansion, Gordon and Alyx are leading the flight from the city -- and getting up close and personal with some of the creatures and sights from the Half-Life 2. Amazon.com Product Description In this episodic sequel (formerly known as "Aftermath"), players continue the groundbreaking story that came to an explosive halt at the conclusion of Half-Life 2. Players once again assume the role of Gordon Freeman and team up with sidekick Alyx Vance to flee the remnants of a nearly-destroyed City 17 and it's eerily-empty streets. The action begins quickly as the damage to the citadel has been done and Gordon and Alyx must lead the evacuation effort. Enemies previously un-attackable such as crab and mortar synths now stand in your path as you try to help Gordon and others escape the imminent citadel blast. Once again utilizing the Source technology and HDR lighting popularized by Half Life 2, Episode One aims to begin the tradition of episodic content for Half Life fans. Gamers can expect over six hours of game play while taking out enemies with the help of Alyx's pet robot dog.
