Sector K Incident

Sector K incident was a Disaster that happened 30 years ago in the server's canonical time. Full incident report done here by Dr. Shocks. A level 10 Scientist part of the Administrative Commitee:

"Sector K Incident Report 3/12/1973: Today is the most disastrous experiment ever happened to the Black Mesa Science Team which resulted almost all the Sector K Staff. only 12 out of the 50 personal survived due to being out of the range of the shockwave that disintegrated most of the staff or being off sector, however some of the staff that were near the outer range of the shockwave had some of their limbs disintegrated (See Image 1) which we are covering it up as Facility Accident with Machinery. This was a result of a Blue Xen Crystal (See Image 2) that was found to power the Portal Device but due to the machines not handling this much powerful resonance resulted in this said incident. All personal that where caught in the shockwave were disintegrated with the only remains of a body is a scorches on the floor (See images 3 & 4). After this incident the higher ups including me have heavily decided that these blue crystals are to be disposed of and destroyed for the better of all of us. As for Sector K we are deciding to abandon the sector and replacing it with a project called "Lambda". The hallways that led to Sector K are being repurposed to suit the project and major infrastructure changes are being made to fit the new project in. The entrance of Sector K is being blocked off under the coverup reason of a "Major Infrastructure Failures and Cave Ins". All personal that attempt or enter Sector K will be detained and locked up to keep this under wrap due to us not wanting the personal of the Facility to know of this huge loss of life and being too demoralized to work. This is Dr. Shocks, now former Head of Sector K and The Black Mesa Science Council Community."

The "Sector K incident" laid the road of moving the Lambda Project down to the Sector known as the Lambda Sector with the entrance to the Portal Labs being blocked of and the room being turned into the Lambda generator room. The infrastructure changes that were mentioned was the Lambda Portal and the Coolant Pool Room.

***Facts:***

Sector K is based on concepts from the Half Life Alpha/Beta such as the Portal Device which was made into the earlier version of the Lambda Portal and the Hallways that are in the Sector that are connected to image 4 are based off the early look of Sector C from the Beta phase of Half Life 1.

The Sector K Idea was brought over to PBMRP from another bmrp server that is no longer up and Sector K now being its own thing instead of being a plain old dupe and being part of "Old Black Mesa" Lore.

When making the facility screenshots, I changed some of the textures using the Map Retexture addon to change the textures to Half Life Alpha textures in order to make it feel like an older version of the facility.

There was originally going to be more rooms in Sector K that would reference more Half Life Alpha stuff like the demo lab area, A coolant pool based off the Alpha version of the Lambda Core chapter from Half Life, a bigger surface, some labs, and the Tram line, which is still somewhat there except where it goes. However, the Tram was going to look more like the one in the very earlier videos of "On the Rail" chapter but due to the prop limit the Tram was changed to the one seen Half Life with a few minor differences.
