The Half-Life series has so many interesting and important locations. The Citadel, Nova Prospekt and the Black Mesa Research Facility are three of many. There was however one more location that may be considered the most important. A small, secret lab in the heart of City 17 ran by Dr. Isaac Kleiner.

How did this location become so significant in the war against The Combine, how Kleiner's Lab evade The Combine? and what happened to it after the fall of The Citadel? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind Kleiner's Lab in Half-Life.
