The Borealis is a great crossover between Half Life and Portal and a extremely strong link between both games that share a universe. However with losing the ship they lost the companys future, not that there would be much of a future for any company with the apocalyptic "Seven Hour War" only a few short decades away from the loss of the Borealis. Something the Resistance/Black Mesa and Combine struggled with. Yet they rushed and lost the greatest piece of technology in the modern world. The introduction od new melee weapons was meant to happen throughout the game in its early days yet the crowbar, an iconic weapon in Gordons arsenal, was the only one to remain throughout.Īperture again showing that they are a poor company to trust, not that Black Mesa is better, had major potential in the Borealis.
In a cut Half Life 2 chapter featuring the Borealis, Freemans crowbar was meant to be replaced with a ice axe. Even for me the writing is hard to make out) The Borealis blueprints contain modern Aperture Science logos and GLaDOS signing them, yet the ship appears in Old Aperture. The Borealis' teleportation incident is similar to the urban legend of the Philidelphia Experiment where the warship "USS Eldridge" was supposedly rendered invisible and in some versions of the story it was teleported from its drydocks to a location 200 miles away. A button in an office has to be pushed which opens a door and delivers Personality Cores to the ship. The Borealis has a cameo in "Portal, the Flash Version". The ship was built to be extremely durable, one intention of the ship was it being an icebreaker ship so it wpuld need a lot of durability to survive that. However the Borealis didn't have access to the Arctic from the drydocks.
It is widely believed that the ship contained a portal device, on a much larger scale than than the ASHHPD, though it likely doesn't work the same as the Portal Gun due to the fact that it moved from the drydocks it was built in into the Arctic, but the Portal Gun requires basic access to both locations. All that remains in Old Aperture of the Borealis
