Don't try to stop me, you can't do it-Apprehension/Residue Processing

Listen, I'm almost halfway through the game, here, I've got screenshots saved all the way up to the end of "Lambda Core," and I REALLY wanna talk about this game. So I'm posting another one of these today, and you can't stop me. Maybe once I'm done with Black Mesa, someone can intervene and say "no! We don't want to hear any more! Don't do this for HL2 and Portal 1&2 and Opposing Force and Blue Shift too! We're sick of this! Stop, Mouse!" But that's then. This is now, and I'm talking more about Black Mesa.

Which means it's time to finish "Apprehension," and get on to "Residue Processing!"

Oh, yeah, and the marines also threw him in a trash compactor to dispose of his body, and if you don't move it, quickly, and climb up those boxes...

You'll be compacted

You gotta wonder, though, if the compactor didn't start moving until just after Gordon woke up, does that mean the marines only just tossed him in there, and only just started it up, and then immediately ran away so they wouldn't see their own handiwork? Or did they throw him in there and assume he'd still be there when whatever automated process started up the compactor? Because, for people who seemed to want him dead so badly, they did a pretty poor job of actually making sure he'd end up that way.
