{ this is true. and i suppose ... if you are not harmed by such an affliction, it is not cause for ... much of an alarm. } ( yet it's still rather unsettling to them. )

( a sharp breath inward. that was ... no. it couldn't possibly be. )

( ah. that's ... a foreboding presence. the vortigaunt tenses their body, scrabbling for the shadows. is that ... ? )

( warily, they skulk the halls of black mesa - many eyes ever alert. )
