To begin with, as you may recall from the closing paragraphs of my previous missive, the death of Eli Vance shook us all. I do first apologize for the wait, and that done, hasten to finally explain (albeit briefly, quickly, and in very little detail) events following those described in my previous letter (referred to herewith as Episode 2). In the time since, I have been able to think occasionally about how best to describe the intervening years, my years of silence.

This was the case until eighteen months ago, when I experienced a critical change in my circumstances, and was redeposited on these shores. I can hear your complaint already, 'Gordon Freeman, we have not heard from you in ages!' Well, if you care to hear excuses, I have plenty, the greatest of them being I've been in other dimensions and whatnot, unable to reach you by the usual means.

On August 25th 2017 at 2:05 AM, former Half-Life series writer Marc Laidlaw posted 'Epistle 3', a brief summary of what is assumed to be the plot for the cancelled Half-Life 2: Episode 3 in the form of a letter from the lead character, with most of the names and places changed.
