Mesa Riders, Support, and Science Team

Even though the worlds are different, there are still a good number of overlapping locations that folks come from. There are those who died in the Rookery's Black Mesa yet still live on in the Repurposed world, and where there are duplicates that both survived, sometimes they just go on like there's absolutely nothing weird about meeting their doppelganger.

Note that Keenan, Wilson, and Virva appear in the Pantheon page, not here, but they all play vital roles in this location as well. The experienced adults at the Mesa, the Enrichment Center, PHEAR, and later the Black Mesa Antlion Ranch come under this banner. Some of the PHEAR members ought to be over in the Pantheon, but as they were not specifically trained as such, their Vortal skills remain untapped for the most part, and they are included here instead.

Lane Mansion also has its share of Vortigaunts, listed with Pantheon, also... Um, Lane lives there. Both of him. This eventually turns into the Coffee Grounds along with the Mansion proper, since the entire area is being refitted for life including several large plots of farm land, orchards, a cattle ranch, and two off-world relocated coffee mountains. And a Xenian crater, and some other stray weird shit. Not to mention the Carnies and Hippies that arrive a little later...
