Half-Life Hints
What is this experiment that I am to partake in?
1 of 5: Considering you are a theoretical physicist, and an MIT graduate at that, chances are you will be involved in an experiment that has never before been attempted and that up until now has remained merely theoretical.
2 of 5: You will not get much information from the characters that are hanging around the upper levels of Sector C Test Labs.
3 of 5: The experiment seems to involve everyone in the laboratory, though.
4 of 5: You seem to play a rather large role. Once you get down to the testing facility, you will learn more about the experiment and your role in it.
5 of 5: Basically, your team of physicists is to test a certain anomalous element that has been discovered by a different branch of the Black Mesa Research Facilities.
