Nova Prospekt - Electrocuted Alien..What is he?
 
Hi,
One part of the Nova Prospekt leve shows a dead (i think) alien behind a force field sitting in a chair getting electrocuted. Is this alien a Vortigaunt or something else?

I thought it was a Vortigaunt. I felt sorry for the critter.

I concur. That wretched creature looked like a vortigunt to me. This just goes to prove that all creatures are treated 'equal' under Combine!

A Vortogaunt fo sho. They didnt electrocute him, they sucked all his electrical energy out.

In HL2, the Vortigaunt is the creature which allies with humanity to resist the Combine. During the game, one of them helps you to learn how to use the bugbait weapon.

Here is a picture of the creature in question.

I was stumped for second, but a closer look reveals his eye (closed) and mouth

We know from conversation with Alyx that occasionally Vortigunts are taken to Nova Prospekt. Its because of this, the hive mentality all Vortigunts share, that the resistance knows what is going on inside the joint. (which is all bad)

So it should be of no surprise that we encounter one inside.

Oh! I know who those guys are. I thought they were just called "slaves" from their HL1 debut.

I knew what it was at first glance, look at the third arm.

That's what got me for a sec ... the arm was tucked and placed in such a way, that it was hard to see, until you got up close to it.

of cource it's vort, bbut there is something special about this one, he has a collar and bracelets(I think) It's how they were in HL1, they probably wanted to show how it looked now.

Re: Nova Prospekt - Electrocuted Alien..What is he?
 
Could we say that they had captured this Vortigaunt before Freedman had freed them? As that might explain the presence of the collar and bracelets? So that would mean that that Vortigaunt had been in the Combine's possession since HL1?

I've thought way to much, I'm tired...time for a beer.... :beer: :beer: :beer:

The one working as a janitor in the trainstation is also collared.

Get off train, walk down platform, turn right (away from exit) to find him behind fence. Sweep sweep sweep... sweep sweep sweep.

Hahaha, that sweeping janitor thing. He looks sweepy. I am, but I'm drunk so it doesn't count. I get pissed alot recently cos I love this girl and she doesn't love me. I really love her. :(
