Necrotics Inbound
'Necrotics Inbound' is a single-player Half-Life 2 Modification in which the player takes the role of "Combine Infantry #04178", as he journeys across the Half Life 2 universe, working toward the destruction of his former masters.
Story
The nightmares have plagued me for as long as I can remember, they're all I ever have to look forward to in this seemingly endless sleep. Finally, free at last, born again into this unforgiving world. The story is always the same, brought out of stasis to hunt down some poor bastard. We'll be left out until we grow weak, get injured... need some 'repairs'. When it's over, carted back to our little pods, those wondrous metallic coffins, we'll get to 'rest'. But that's fine, I'll go right along with it, being the dog that I am. It's not like I could ever do anything about it, unless...
Wait, what am I thinking?! I exist only to kill, It's what I was born to do. It's what I was made to do, and that won't change. No, something has changed, I can feel it. It's the nightmares, the horrible visions. I don't have an explanation for them, maybe they're some long lost memory. Maybe it's my conscious trying to tell me something. Whatever they are, they've found me yet again, here in the waking world.
Do I have a purpose? Do any of us have a purpose...?
