Half-Life Hints
Who is the guy in the blue suit?
1 of 7: There is a man in a blue suit talking to a scientist in one of the computer rooms. Unfortunately, the door is locked and you cannot quite make out what they are saying.
2 of 7: You may have noticed the man in the blue suit before, while on the tram.
3 of 7: You may or may not want to know who he is at this time. It makes little difference either way. Knowing who he is may take some of the mystery out of the game.
4 of 7: The blue-suited character is talking to a scientist. He seems to be talking down to the scientist. Perhaps he is an authority figure.
5 of 7: If you read the various lines of text that popped up onscreen while you were riding the tram, you may have seen that your Administrative Sponsor is documented as classified.
6 of 7: I'll be willing to bet that character is the Administrative Sponsor or the Administrator, as he is known by the scientists. (Or Briefcase Bastard, as he is known by all who have already played through the game and gotten sick of him just standing around various places, invincible, and doing nothing.)
7 of 7: You will see him several times throughout the game.
