Strolling in the streets of City-17 to make it back before the curfew, a Combine soldier would walk up to you, with clear interest, for whoever you might be

"Cease movement, citizen."

He moved closer with an imposing stature

"This is Unit OE-951. Identify reason of presence, citizen."

His vocoded voice implant said and a radio beep rang out. The circular red lens on his helmet scanned your body data. Why was he here anyways... you weren't important, right?
