Black Mesa Transit System Voice

[Otilia Mojarro]

TheBlack Mesa Announcement System is the public address system used throughout the Black Mesa Research Facility, relaying audible messages and announcements across the facility with a male voice. Additionally, a similar announcement system is mounted on trams to give general information about the facility and mention each stop, with a prerecorded female voice. Judging from its mechanical voice and fragmented, disjointed speech, it is probably a basic AI, similar to the Overwatch Voice.

Of note is that not all these announcements are heard in-game and are sometimes only found in the file "sentences.txt" located in each game's sound folder, showing that many more messages were originally to be heard during the games.

Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 8:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105. The Black Mesa Compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times.

This train is inbound from Level 3 Dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in Area 9 and board a high-security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high-security branch of the transit system.

Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa Compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa transit system. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives.

A reminder that the Black Mesa Hazard Course Decathlon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level 3 facility. The semi-finals for high-security personnel will be announced in a separate, secure-access transmission. Remember: more lives than your own may depend on your fitness.

Do you have a friend or relative who would make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa team? Immediate openings are available in the areas of Materials Handling and low-clearance security. Please contact Black Mesa personnel for further information. If you have an associate in the background of Theoretical Physics, Biotechnology, or other high-tech disciplines, please contact our Civilian Recruitment Division. The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal opportunity employer.

A reminder to all Black Mesa personnel: regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation checkup is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your Radiation Safety Officer immediately! Work safe, work smart. Your future depends on it.

Now arriving at Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. Please stand back from the automated door and wait for the security officer to verify your identity. Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings. Thank you and have a very safe and productive day.

This train is inbound from the Area 8 Topside Dormitories to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled passengers should be evacuated first. Please stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives.

If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to board a high-security train in the Central Transit Hub. If you have not yet submitted your identity for the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be admitted to the high-security branch of the transit system. If you wish to transfer to the Sector B or C medium-security lines, you may do so before you reach the Central Transit Hub, at the Area 9 Security Checkpoint. Access to the medium-security branch of the transit system is for employees of the Black Mesa Research Facility and authorized visitors ONLY and requires that you wear your security badge at all times...

This train is now transferring to the Sector C line of the transit system. This is a medium security area of the Black Mesa Facility. Be sure to wear your identification badge at all times. Now arriving at Area 3 Security Facilities. Please stand back from the automated door until it has fully opened. Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings. Thank you, and have a safe and productive day!

You have to escape, being trapped here for so long has left you broken, maybe even insane. You hear voices, ones from your past and even some that shouldn't belong to you, as if your reality is crossing with another... Freeman, he was the cause of all of this and now you even have his memories.

Fight through aliens, marines and black ops as you travel through the Black Mesa facility reliving both yours and Freemans memories. Travel the transit system, open up portals to Xen and run for your life in the cramped underground facility.

The first map was mostly intact when I found the files so it was just a matter of making sure the portals were ok, double checking the sound files were working and playtesting it to find bugs.

The second map was less finished but after a few days of testing, modifying and testing again I can safely say it's now playable but my playtesters haven't done their tests yet so i'm unsure of any bugs. I knew people would find a way out of the map no matter what I did so instead, having been a DOOM fan for most of my life I left little secrets around the map, some text here if you get out of bounds, a secret rocket launcher if you can find a way on the roof, and some not so nice secrets such as accidentally making high level aliens spawn if you mess around too much.

It was fun though! And now it leads into level 3 quite nicely. However level 3 is where things now get more tricky... The map is barely functional at all, it's from a very early build of it so there's no textures, no enemies, and the sequence I made for the tram doesn't function. So I feel like this is going to take up the next month or 2 just getting level 3 working. In the mean time I'll have some playtesters check out the first 2 levels and then I'll upload those as a demo while I'm working on Level 3.

Yeah the name was a placeholder since I needed one to upload onto the site, It was the first thing that came to my mind since he's trapped in his memories reliving the horrific events of the black mesa incident, it sounded like a decent analogy if not too on the nose.

Thank you! I need to relearn a few things annoyingly as some of the files have since been corrupted, the green hud is completely broken sadly and a couple of the guns don't have shepard hands but hey if it were easy then everyone would have done it by now haha

The sheer amount of text written about Half-Life in the past quarter century is probably comparable to the amount of studies written on Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky; even if you have never played a single computer game in your life, you may still have heard of Gordon Freeman and his legendary crowbar \u2014 the late 20th century equivalent of Thor\u2019s hammer and the staff of Moses. This means that just another \u00ABoh look, Half-Life is one of the greatest games of all time, and here\u2019s why\u00BB review is hardly necessary, given how high it usually finds itself in most cumulative ratings and how many people still play it on a regular basis (though, admittedly, now that the fan-made Black Mesa remake is finally complete, interest in the original has taken on a much more historically-colored flavor). But given that your humble servant has a somewhat special, slightly atypical history of relations with Valve\u2019s classic, perhaps somebody might find it curious to take a look at this personal angle, which would concentrate more on the storyline and world-building aspects of Half-Life than on its heavy action side.
