"The other one was a lot more like Earth. The viable region of it was a lot smaller than anything in Xen, but there was a human outpost there- an old one. Much too well-established to ever have had anything to do with Black Mesa. The portal that brought people there and returned them to their universes had an extremely variable fourth-dimensional component to it. Most of the time it returned people who entered it to the moment they'd left from, or a little bit after."
"The thing is that the portal wouldn't always function properly. It didn't always open onto the same universe from one portal usage to the next. Sometimes it wouldn't open at all. I was there for two months because it wouldn't function at all when I tried to use it."
"This morning it opened spontaneously and dumped me onto a train into City 17."
