zapped!
When I left off, I had just found a much needed energy source and had just slain a new type of creature that a blog reader identified as a bullsquid. I thought maybe my next step was to swim my way out again, but in the greenish/brown sewer looking liquid did not provide a way out. In fact, I kept getting lifted out of the water by some mechanical blades and chopped to pieces. So ... I found a door that led me through a maze like area and then up a couple of ladders. I found my self above some boxes that were suspended from the ceiling.


This "box jumping" helped me reflect back on the training area where I had to run and jump, do a little crouching, and of course, fall to my untimely death multiple times. I did manage to get across the boxes and back through another maze area and ended up on what looked like the other side of the big room where I slayed the bullsquid. I found myself in a big elevator, got the message that I was entering the "office complex" and entered that area. I found a medical pack on the ground, at least I thought it was this as my health went up a little bit. A laser type thing came down from the ceiling and immediately zapped me.

I stopped here because no matter how I tried to get around that laser I kept dying. Crouching and running, running fast, jumping ... nothing worked. So I stopped.
I'm not grasping the big picture of where exactly I'm going in this game but I hope I'm not backtracking. Wasn't the office complex where this all started? We'll see if I can figure my way around this next time and figure out where exactly I'm going.

I'm not certain, but if I remember correctly, there's a vent around there somewhere that you can creep up on, break open, and sneak through. Watch out for headcrabs in the vents, though.
There's also a puzzle around there somewhere that involves moving some boxes so that you can jump up to climb a latter coming down from the ceiling.
