My last quest had me crawling in the rafters of the office complex. I had moved some boxes and climbed a ladder ...



There was an obvious way out of the current obstacle by crawling and breaking a metal grate, but for some reason the first few times I tried, the grate wouldn't break. So that had me waste some time trying to find another way out. But then I tried again, hitting the grate square on with the crowbar and it finally broke. As soon as the grate broke, I saw a scientist walk in, say "hello" and then totally get owned by a laser gun that was mounted on the ceiling. I rushed across the room (yes, I died a time or two) and got by the gun. I killed some head crabs, made my up some stairs and met up with the first security guard I had seen in a while that wasn't dead. He actually helped out a little bit by killing some head crabs and following me.

After I got to another section of the office complex I could tell the action was picking up. I heard some screeches and noises from some creatures that I hadn't heard before. Of course I ran right into a creature who killed me quickly.



I tried a new strategy to kill some of the monsters. I eased my way around some corners to get some good shots. Of course I don't think this is always going to work when there are multiple creatures to kill. My problem is, my health is down to 9 and I haven't seen a health station in a while. I saw a room or two that saw scientists trying to escape and getting killed. There are multiple new creatures around, so before I move on I'm going to need to increase my health, re-load my ammo, and get ready to shoot.

Seems like I'm getting to a pretty exciting spot in the game ...
