Gordon raised an eyebrow in surprise at the wolf speaking the shared language of silent protagonists, and was even more surprised to see its tail wagging. It went on to introduce itself as 'Amaterasu, God of the Sun', and apparently it was a she. Gordon wasn't that all surprised that she was a self-proclaimed god, because he had fought many god-like entities before, such as the overlord of Xen, Nihilanth, the multiversal Combine, and... [i]him.[/i] Even Gordon couldn't fully comprehend what he, or [i]it[/i] really was. The G-Man was an illusive entity that warped the laws of reality to fit his needs. He had offered Freeman a 'job' under his 'employers'. As far as he could tell, the G-Man was now his boss.

"..." Gordon nodded in appreciation, introducing himself and asking about the Mugen Virus at the same time. The two of them continued their silent conversation much to the confusion of everyone else when the door of the elevator opened again. Out walked a man in incredibly advanced armour that somewhat resembled that of an Overwatch Elite's, and... 

Gordon's other eyebrow rose in surprise. 

That was Mario. The legend of all legends. The Vortigaunts were much more vocal about him. They spoke very highly of 'The One Above All'. 

Weakly raising an arm in a slow wave, he was met with the sight of the plumber grabbing a leg of turkey, then proceeding to choke on it. Freeman's expression changed into one of moderate concern. It would be pretty devastating to lose one of the most famous legends of all time. However, he was met with relief when Mario managed to get the food down after some struggles. Gordon shrugged and was about to return to his conversation with the wolf god when the plumber shouted Samus' name, before tossing a potato ball at her.

Time seemed to stop for Gordon as his thought processes kicked in. According to the angle the potato was thrown and its current velocity and relative size and shape, then the starchy projectile was aimed directly at the exposed head of the intergalactic bounty hunter. If his calculations were correct, then the time to impact was approximately 1.001212 seconds. Not enough time to draw his Gravity Gun to intercept the baked explosive, and he wasn't sure if Samus would be able to react in time, considering she was facing away from Mario and currently talking to the gothic man, the 'Hunter'. Whatever was going to happen, Gordon feared for his life. 

As time sped back up, he looked away as the potato bomb resumed its course. He drew his Gravity Gun just in case things got real, and opted to simply hide behind a table some distance away and wait for the whole thing to blow over.
