At early 1998 you, together with the research team from Black Mesa Research Facility you were able to discover the alien word, known as "Xen".
Thanks to the teleportation technology you were able to land on Xen and collect Xen inhabitants and wildlife. When you find a mineral known as Xen crystals. Hence, you decided to analyze them in the Anti-Mass Spectrometer. Unfortunately (due to the safety negligence) as soon as crystals are connected with the spectrometer beam, it blows up and then creates various portals, through which aliens from Xen appear on Earth and attack scientists and staff.
