"And when the scientists woke up, the Borealis was missing, and the ship was never heard from again! Anyway... that's how I lost my job at Aperture."

@ThePerkMenStrats Actually based on the level of decay, and the timer from the stasis pod, It's been about 20-30 years after Half life 1, which is is around Episode 2 time

It was really good i liked it and how did u know where to go at first

[easynaming]

@Firestorm2154 thank you good sir... although one thing... YOU COULD HAVE SAID SPOILER ALERT. but i alledgedly thank you for the time taking to explain the phenomenon of the significance.

[Firestorm2154]

@easynaming The technology is powerful enough that it's become a major point of interest in humanity's war with the Combine, by both sides. The Combine want it to re-establish a link to their homeworld and bring in reinforcements, and humanity wants it just because it's a goddamned giant and highly advanced portal gun. However the G-Man hinted to Gordon and to Eli that use of the tech would result in "unforeseen consequences." The last time he said that was right before Black Mesa.

[Firestorm2154]

@easynaming It's from Episode Two. It's true significance is not yet known; it's one of many mysteries we hope to be explained by Half-Life 3 (and one of many reasons why we're so damned impatient for it!).

From what's been hinted, it's a ship that carried a giant, highly advanced version of the portal technology tested by the player in the Portal games. One day the portal misfired, or fired accidentally, and the ship vanished, with all hands & allegedly part of the dry dock with it

[Firestorm2154]

@KayaAngelStudios Well, it is an easter egg.

[iamburak]

Valve please release Half Life 2 Episode 3 before i die.

[pokefan3333]

If you listen to one of GLaDOS's messages slowed down, it says something about the ocean.Hmm I wonder.....

[Screep5]

Lol... do you guys think... maybe, if Borealis isn't destroyed yet.. and in Episode 3 when Gordon and Alyx destory it, they'll meet the Aperture Science Enrichment Team? With Chell, GlaDos and etc.??

[zerker12312]

borealis is shown in halflife 2, ep 2

[KayaAngelStudios]

@KendoSF13 Yeah, that would be building parts, cranes, workers etc. etc., Or, knowing VALVE, they might have overlooked it a little
