Well, the wattpad app is still being uncooperative. Seems like with every update, it becomes even more dysfunctional! Because that's how updates are supposed to work! Good going, Wattpad. You're doing great.

That's right, this big factory is producing those big alien grunts that shoot bees at us!
I really do appreciate how much work Black Mesa puts into showing you this. In Half-Life, I wasn't really sure of what was going on, or even really that I was in a factory until much later. But Black Mesa, they put it right there in your face.
One thing that's not explained, though, in HL or BM, is what exactly the grunts are. Like, we know they're manufactured, but are they genetically modified vortigaunts? Or are they test tube babies, created entirely from scratch for the explicit purpose of fighting, and the only reason they bear resemblance to the vortigaunts is because it's the vorts that are making them? Are they even actually related to the vortigaunts at all? None of this is ever really answered, and I don't know.
