    I like to think that Black Mesa was an insane confluence of theoretical and practical physics. After all, they are inventing interdimensional travel and laser weapons. Freeman probably spends most days in an office somewhere doing math. There’s a guard that jokes Freeman is “in the barrel today,” which is a reference to a dirty old sailor’s joke, implying people in the lab take turns doing grunt work in the HEV suit.
