    The thing Gordon did opened a rift to the alien world of the Xen, and the Xen came though that rift and killed all the scientists. Headcrabs, Houndeyes, and Vortiguants are all Xen, and are all quite hostile, which makes for quite a good game.

    I thought the world's name WAS Xen, not the inhabitants...?

    I mean the place Xen.
    How are the dead bodies in there?
    What does it mean by Border World?
    I remember in blue shift, the scientist says that teleportation has something to do with xen.
