Assignment

"" is the third part of a special set of episodes for City 17 Street which takes the perspective of Gordon Freeman. However taking inspiration from the famous webcomic Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman, Gordon Freeman's depiction in the specials is more comedic and taken less seriously than his journey in Half-Life 2.

The specials were originally written to bridge a weekly gap between the episodes "Chain Reactions" and "The Mission", but where later bundled as part of the fourth series of the "Half-Life" era.

Plot
Gina gives Isaac Kleiner's cat a check up and confirms the animal is healthy. Kleiner is relieved, as he can now use the cat as part of his teleportation experiments.

Gordon Freeman discovers his job offer by The G-Man isn't anything cool like fighting aliens and monsters, but boring desk work. He gets increasingly stressed when his computer keeps getting a blue screen.

Sometime later Gordon boards a flight, but it ends up crashing into the sea when an alien manaray shoots it down. He begins to swim towards the shore.
