Black Mesa

Black Mesa is an American research corporation located in New Mexico, USA.

Overview
Black Mesa is a research facility that was created in the 1950's. Their main focus was to practice on all sorts of teleportation science and theoretical physics. Their main competitor is Aperture Science, which they have fought against the start. This was the case for multiple decades, until the Black Mesa Incident occurring in the year 200X. Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist at the facility, was pushing a Xen crystal into the anti-mass spectrometer, which triggered a resonance cascade and infested the whole facility with Xen's creatures. Gordon and the Science Team pushed themselves to the other side of the facility where they helped Gordon travel to the mysterious world of Xen. The rest of the Science Team and Barney escaped via SUV, and the facility was mysteriously nuked from the inside many hours after the incident. Since then, Gordon returned and the Science Team helped recreate Black Mesa into a Major Powerade Factory, one of the best producers in the world. With the help of the G-man, they also built other structures in the facility such as a Chuck E. Cheese's and a Movie Theatre.
