Bookworms and Shadow Bugs

Greetings. To the newbies in the school, my name is Dr. Gordon Freeman and I'm the physics teacher here. Now, much as no one wants to admit it, the school year is coming up on us fast. Enclosed with this transmission is a list of supplies and books you'll need for my class this fall.

[Private, to Mac]

Hey kid, are you ready for another year?

[To faculty, plus Ishimaru]

Hey, has anyone learned anything new on this shadow bug situation? Best I can figure is that it's all coming from the world on the other side of those rifts up above us. Those clones might be part of their life-cycle, a sort of parasitic larva-to-adult transition... I wish I could say that it's the first time I've seen something like that. If anyone has any information, I want to know.

You bet, I'm super ready!

[Need to be excited over something, after all.]

People seem to kinda need the distraction, anyhow.

They are increasingly becoming more aggressive, Gordon.

They're gettin' worse. Seem to be coming from the bunkers under the school, or at least congregating down there.

[Basements were always bad news, man. Always.]

The idea of a life cycle isn't something I'd considered. You think there's a way to... interrupt it?
