Half-Life Hints
Where is the button to get things started?
1 of 3: Once the scientists give you the go-ahead, they will tell you to climb up and push the button to get the preliminary systems started.
2 of 3: There is a ladder leading to a platform well above the floor that has some computer equipment on it. Climb the ladder and walk over to the equipment.
3 of 3: If the scientists have not already instructed you to push the button, the button will be covered by a small red piece of plastic. Once the button is uncovered, you can push the button using your Use key.
