Barney's Scout

"Barney's friend right? Stick with me!"

- Undercover Rebel

The Undercover Rebel is a rebel unit cut from Half-Life 2. He only appears in d1_terminal_01.

Older levels
When the player would walk to the pendulum script in the early version of d1_terminal_01 he would talk to you secretly while whispering to the player. He would ask the player if they were barney's friend as he would then immediately tell the player about filling out papers and get the player to where they're going. He tells the player to stick close to him. While the player follows the spy he tells the player that he can't " guarantee " his safety if they were to get separated. If the player was to stop following the rebel he would stand idle and wait for the player to follow again. While following the player he would walk down a small alleyway they make it to a little door that him and player wait for Barney. Instead two Metro Cops come and tell the spy that he's been doing this before and told him to stop coming around the alley. One of the Metropolice directly warns the player he his bad news and that the player should stay away from him.

Once the player makes their way to a elevator they can spot the spy being arrested by one of the Metro Cops.

2003 version
The dialogue goes the same exact way it does but instead the player meets him in front of the trainstation plaza. The same sequence goes but instead the spy walks up to a NP hotel wall as two metro cops run up to the player and the rebel as they then proceed to warn the spy and warn the player that he's bad news.

The sequence was completely removed for Barney's scene instead. The entire Undercover character was cut in the process especially his lines.

Trivia

 * In the older version of the scripted event the rebel is leaning on a wall.
 * The rebel in the 2003 version doesn't show him being arrested but instead he stands idle.
