There was a time they cared nothing for Miss Vance... When their only experience of humanity was a crowbar coming at them down a steel corridor. When-I-plucked-her from Black Mesa, I acted in the face of objections that she was a mere child, and of no practical use to anyone. I have learned to ignore such naysayers when... quelling them... hm? was out of the question. Still, I am not one to, squander my investments... and I remain confident she was worth far more than the initial... appraisal. That's why I must now 'extract'... from you, some small repayment owed for your own survival. See her safely to White Forest, Doctor Freeman. I wish I could do more than keep an eye on you, but I have agreed to abide by certain... restrictions. Mmm.
