Mesa Research Facility Shorts
Description: The Black Mesa Research Facility (also simply called Black Mesa) is a fictional underground laboratory complex that serves as the primary setting for the video game Half-Life and its expansions, as well as its unofficial remake, Black Mesa. It also features in the wider Half-Life universe, including the Portal series. Located in the New Mexico desert in a decommissioned Cold War missile site, it is the former employer of Half-Life's theoretical physicist protagonist, Gordon Freeman, and a competitor of Aperture Science. While the facility ostensibly conducts military-industrial research, its secret experiments into teleportation have caused it to make contact with the alien world of Xen, and its scientists covertly study its life-forms.
Description: A circular emblem with a distressed white textured background that contains a black geometric shape resembling a mountain peak. Below the emblem, the text 'BLACK MESA' is displayed in large, bold, white capital letters, with 'RESEARCH FACILITY' written in smaller white capital letters underneath.
