G-Man: [In his usual cryptic tone] Ah, Corporal Shepherd, it seems fate has brought
us... together once more. Your services are required for a.. delicate matter.

G-Man: There's a place, a...uh town shrouded in darkness, where the lines between
the living and the..uh dead blur. Ravenholm. You are to go there, Corporal, and
uncover what lies within its depths for even I am blinded by it.

G-Man: [With a faint smile] Remember, Shepherd, your actions will shape the course
of events coming forward. Choose wisely.

Shepherd: [Readies his weapons, prepared for the onslaught]

Father Grigori: You know, I had initially been working to make a possible cure for
those afflicted with this Infection, yet I've come to the conclusion that the only
cure for this Pathogen is a shot to the head.

hospital, only to discover a horrifying truth. Father Grigori begins to exhibit

flee. I am lost to this... darkness.

Shepherd: [Determined, but conflicted]

dilemma of leaving Father Grigori behind. Eventually, he reaches the outskirts of
Ravenholm, where the Ravenholm Ports offer a slim chance of escape.]

horrors of the town behind. As the gates close behind him, he casts one final
glance back, haunted by the memory of Father Grigori's sacrifice.]

shrouded in uncertainty.]
