Gordon Freeman, in the flesh...or, rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons. Most of your weapons were government property, as for the suit, I think you've earned it. The Borderworld, Xen, is in our control for the time being thanks to you. Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there, I am impressed... That’s why I’m here. Mr. Freeman. I have recommended your services to my e...e...ee...employers, and they have authorized me to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have limitless...potential... You've proven yourself a decisive man so I don't expect you to have much trouble deciding what to do. If you’re interested, just step into portal and I will take that as a yes... Otherwise...hmm...well, I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning, rather anticlimactic after what you've just survived. Time to choose...
