Despite this, many samples of Xenian animal and plant life were retrieved for study in the Sector E Biodome Complex, while the exotic minerals were studied in the Sector C Test Labs. The Xenian biosphere was incredibly hostile, and thus these expeditions were considered extremely hazardous, resulting in the death or capture of dozens of researchers. Attracted by scientific curiosity, particularly toward the properties of exotic minerals found on the alien world to aid in their teleportation research, Black Mesa's Lambda Team launched multiple survey expeditions to the Borderworld to collect samples of Xenian flora and fauna. Sometime prior to the Incident, researchers at the Black Mesa Research Facility had discovered an extradimensional realm, formally known as the Borderworld, but colloquially referred to as Xen, while developing teleportation technology. 2 Immediate effects and military response.Though Freeman's actions halted the invasion, the portal storms that occurred as a consequence of the incident continued to intensify, ultimately attracting the attention of a powerful interdimensional empire known as the Combine to launch an invasion and subsequent occupation of Earth. Freeman's whereabouts would remain unknown for decades, as he disappeared immediately after these events. Prior to the facility's destruction, Black Mesa scientist Gordon Freeman had been teleported to the Borderworld by the Lambda Team, where he successfully killed the creature coordinating the invasion and holding the rift open. The ensuing desperate conflict between the survivors and increasing numbers of alien creatures led to the government authorizing the facility's destruction with a nuclear device, which destroyed the facility and eradicated the invasion. The United States government dispatched a military expeditionary force to the facility to contain the invasion and silence witnesses, however, they suffered heavy casualties and were compelled to quickly withdraw. The survivors quickly realized the presence of the aliens was not an accident, and were in fact the vanguard of an invasion. The attempt failed and it was deduced that a powerful being was deliberately holding the rift open. The experiment triggered a rare quantum event known as a Resonance Cascade, which ruptured the space-time continuum and allowed extradimensional beings from a realm known as the Borderworld to teleport into the facility.īlack Mesa personnel who had survived the initial incident attempted a resonance reversal using an orbiting satellite to seal the tear. In the Q&A stream, it is revealed that Coomer is bisexual, and that his first name is Harold.The Black Mesa Incident, also referred to as the Lambda Incident, was a catastrophic event resulting from an experiment carried out by the Anomalous Materials department at the Black Mesa Research Facility.Coomer mistakes barnacles for ropes, a lot.Coomer is constantly hungry, thus leading him to eat/drink anything within his line of sight.

He can often kill enemies with his bare hands. Coomer has extreme strength in certain cases. He had a wife, but they took her in the divorce.ĭr. Coomer also has a habit of giving tips to Gordon, but usually, the things he says are either blatantly obvious, or wrong entirely. He states that he is allergic to radioactive waste, or "green slime" as he calls it.
He and Gordon seem to have been acquainted since before the day of the Resonance Cascade, as indicated by the friendly exchange they have in the locker room. Coomer (full name Harold Pontiff Coomer, PhD 1) is a scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility at the time of the Resonance Cascade in Half-Life VR who became one of the pivotal members of the Science Team.
