Half Life 2: Dominion

The Central Processing Plant is the Industrial Sector’s beating heart—a colossal facility where synthetic protein rations and chemical supplements are mass-produced, packaged, and distributed across City 23. Towering silos, whirring pipelines, and endless conveyor lines dominate the structure’s interior, all coordinated by a labyrinthine control system overseen by both Combine techs and assigned citizen-workers. A posted assignment to the Plant is grueling but seen as slightly more “desirable” than working at the Reclamation Center—until you realize that the line never stops. Twelve-hour shifts under flickering arc lights, the constant hiss of steam and chemical leaks, and machines so old they groan with each cycle. Workers rotate between protein paste formulation, chemical additive injection, and packaging, monitored by overhead turrets and sensor drones.

The plant is a sprawling structure filled with towering silos, whirring pipelines, and flickering arc lights. The air is thick with steam and the smell of chemicals, while the constant hum of machinery and the sight of overhead turrets and sensor drones create an oppressive environment.
