Biography


While the Combine Civil Protection units were raiding, destroying, and killing the personnel of the resistance Underground Railroad stations, Matt manned his post to ensure that refugees coming through would get aid. Eventually, Gordon Freeman approached. Unaware of Freeman's anticitizen status, Matt made small talk that he had seen that the Citadel was on full alert, and stated that whoever they were going after (Freeman) did not stand a chance.

Moments later, Matt recieved a report on the radio warning Underground Railroad stations that Civil Protection is flooding the tunnels with Manhacks, flying machines with rotating blades. Hearing this, Matt then went to the door leading to the next station to see if the report was true. Sure enough, several manhacks were quickly making their way over. Seeing this, Matt quickly backed off and picked up a lead pipe which he used to hold off the manhacks. Almost instantly, the manhacks burst through the door, and Matt was overwhelmed. Thanks to Freeman's help, the manhacks were defeated.

Matt then thanks Gordon for his assistance, and offers him the few supplies that were at his station. He then sends Gordon on his way, refusing to abandon his post, should more refugees come through.
