Epistle 3 is one of the few pieces of Half-Life media that has given fans a sense of closure for the Half-Life series after over 20 years without an ending after a major cliffhanger. With Epistle 3 being posted onto Marc Laidlaw's blog, we finally got an idea of a direction Half-Life 2: Episode 3 would have gone in.

How does Epistle 3 explain the events after the death of Dr Eli Vance? What secrets do The Borealis contain and how does this amazing blogpost give the fans of the Half-Life series some sense of a conclusion? I read Epistle 3 and attempted to visualise it in the Half-Life universe.
