Chasm Nearby the rear entrance to the Black Mesa facility, a deep chasm rips between abandoned missile bunkers from the old base. When the soldiers attacked, a group of civilians holed up in the West bunker helping themselves to the arms and supplies there. Unfortunately, the soldiers had been using the East bunker as a command post. During the unavoidable battle, the soldiers (intent on eradicating the civilians who knew too much) were in danger of being eradicated themselves by the newly armed Black Mesa refugees.
