I know my last post was kind of a bummer-- but the comic is still happening-- just undeniably slowly. Anyways, here's another preview. Context: Barney is describing the Black Mesa Incident to a young Alyx Vance, and he just explained to her what the resonance cascade was. The logical extension of the dialogue exchange is: "What were you doing when it happened?" And, as it turns out, Barney was embarrassing himself while fixing an elevator. Good job, Calhoun.
