Connection to the Black Mesa Facility Incident of 2003

On Friday, May 16, 2003 at 8:52 AM (New Mexico Time), a catastrophic event at the Black Mesa Research Facility occurred. The examination of a Xen Crystal from a distant dimension resulted in a Resonance Cascade, causing the Anomalous Materials sector of the facility to collapse onto itself and eventually explode, killing tens of thousands of scientists and personnel. US President George W. Bush quickly reacted to the news by deploying Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) marines and executive action government Black Ops from CIA Special Activities Center (SAC). When military arrived on the facility, they were met with resistance from an unknown alien hostile force that made an exodus onto Earth due to the Resonance Cascade. With some of these species being able to take over the bodies of humans, the marines and CIA operatives were met with conflicting decisions on who to take out, since identifying the threat at times was impossible. They were then given the go to kill everyone and later evacuate so barrages of air strikes could be aimed at the facility. This decision was made to contain the aliens and prevent infection to other civilians throughout New Mexico. This event lasted for a gruesome 2 days. At 9:13 PM, on the same night the event occurred, an EMP deactivated the anti-dimensional satellite launched by Dr. Gordon Freeman. This undone progress enhanced the effects of the Resonance Cascade, causing more advanced and larger alien species to kill more people and damage trillions in property. This EMP was later found out to be caused by the underground dungeon at Archbishop McCarthy High School. The FBI was shocked to have discovered us, making the Archdiocese responsible for most of the damage that happened at Black Mesa.
