Invasion Of The Dead Series (Reboot)
leczorn for Vortigaunts
The Vortigaunts (taxonomic designation: Xenotherium subservilia,[2] or "Subservient Alien Beast"), formerly known as "Alien Slaves" or "Xen Slaves", and affectionately known as "Vorts" by their allies, are a sapient alien species found throughout the Half-Life series.
Long before the Black Mesa Incident, the Vortigaunts' homeworld was invaded by the Combine, forcing the survivors of the invasion to flee to Xen. When the Black Mesa Incident occurred, their master, a being known as the Nihilanth, viewed the rift that opened as a chance to escape, and directed the Vortigaunts to invade Earth.
Following the death of the Nihilanth, the Vortigaunts have chosen to ally themselves with the human-led Resistance in their bid to overthrow the Combine rule of Earth.[3] Effects are welcomed.

This is the Freeman. The Combine's reckoning has come.
Communion of the vortessence. And that other: a deeper mystery. No deeper than the void itself.
That sharp spur of hope has not dulled to this day. For once the lesser master lay defeated, we knew the greater must also fall in time.
