"n an alternate universe, Gordon Freeman’s path took a radical detour. His HEV training was rerouted to the Marine Contractor Program, where he trained alongside the elite H.E.C.U Marines. Under their rigorous guidance, Gordon mastered advanced weaponry, combat tactics, and battlefield survival.

The H.E.C.U had a saying about him: "Science made him smart, but we made him dangerous." No longer just a brilliant physicist, Freeman emerged as a soldier with the intellect to outthink his enemies and the skills to overpower them. This Gordon Freeman wasn’t just ready for Black Mesa—he was built to survive anything."
