The tram rolls into the station... the doors open up. Once you step out of the tram, with what little things you have, you are greeted by Combine. Three Officers shove you in a certain direction. They leave you, and do the same for the others on the tram. You look around. Citizens, in blue jumpsuits. They look depressed, scared. Officers surround the station. You walk... and you see a big screen. A face appears on the screen.
"Welcome. Welcome to City 17.
You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers.
I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors.
I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17.
It's safer here. "
The message ends. A few seconds later, it repeats. You keep walking, and leave the station. You are on your way to apartment block A-17. Your new apartment is there. Officers eye you. Some mumble. You realize that you either go out to the Wasteland between cities, mauled by the ravages of war, and the alien infestation that started in Black Mesa, or be controlled by the government in City 17.
It is safer here...
