Nova Prospekt is falling apart. Seizing your chance, you make a run for it. However, you run into a whole squad of Combine troopers, who train their guns on you.

Then...the lights go out. You then hear limbs being torn, flesh being ripped like paper, blood and guts splattering everywhere, and bullets flying like rain.

When the lights come back on...you see a sleek, mystique Combine Assassin in all her glory...absolutely covered in blood, bits of guts and specs of brain matter.
