Meanwhile, Gordon Freeman, the man who was at the center of the events that took place shortly before the rise of the Combine, awakens from his stasis and is inserted into a train to City 17 by the mysterious G-man. Earth is turning into a grim, oppressive police state. An energy field prevents humans from procreating, and no new children are born. Wallace Breen, a human scientist, rules the city on behalf of his new masters. A Combine Citadel is erected in City 17, a town in Eastern Europe reminiscent of World War II ghettos.
