Kleiner intended to use the newly-constructed translocation device to teleport both Alyx and Freeman to Black Mesa East. The Civil Protection units very nearly succeeded in capturing Freeman for interrogation, however, he was rescued by Alyx Vance who had been trailing him, and escorted him to the laboratory of Isaac Kleiner, his old Black Mesa mentor. The Overwatch threatened ration deductions from apartments who failed to prevent Freeman's escape, and promised extra ration rewards to those who aided Civil Protection. Initially, Civil Protection units attempted to apprehend Freeman after the Overwatch detected a miscount of inhabitants in one of the city's tenement blocks. The unexpected and unannounced reappearance of Gordon Freeman in City 17 had caused a major stir with the Sector 17 Overwatch. These clashes constituted the first skirmishes of The Uprising. Although much of the Underground Railroad was neutralised, Freeman successfully evaded the Overwatch forces, predominately Civil Protection units, and escaped unharmed to Black Mesa East, his intended destination. The Pursuit of Gordon Freeman was a failed attempt by the Sector 17 Overwatch arm of the Combine Empire to kill or capture Gordon Freeman, shortly after his reappearance in City 17.
