Question! Does the vortigaunt speak in an oblique fashion, from a shared point of view outside of time and space such as The Gman and Gordon also appear to now inhabit, but where the ending is still yet to be decided?
Words spoken by the vortigaunt adding a gun to Freeman's jet boat in HL2 carefully transcribed by Lithium_Joe.
Here are the vortigaunts words
We remember the Freeman. We are coterminous.
There is no distance between us. No false veils of Time and Space may intervene.
We see you still in Black Mesa. Clearly we see you in the Nihilanth's chamber.
We bear witness to the bright eternity of the Nihilanth's demise. You leap. You fall. We see you flash between the barriers.
For a brief time you joined us. You are one between the worlds.
Communion of the Vortessence. And that other. A deeper mystery. No deeper than the Void itself.
We cannot forget those whose cords you cut. Forgiveness is not ours to bestow.
Unity of purpose. The Shattering of common shackles. A single road we tread.
Your song we sing and shall sing for all eternity. No matter the consequences of this struggle.
You have brought us grief and jubilation beyond measure.
We are there still in observance of your final stroke.
While our own lay scattered at your feet. You severed the vortal cord that bound the Nihilanth to us. The 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.
With you beside us, a talisman of victory, the day of freedom draws nigh.
Your bright face obscures a darker mask.
We call you sib although your mind and meaning are a mystery to us.
Far distant eyes look out through yours. Something secret steers us both. We shall not name it.
We have endured these chaffing bonds for aeons yet a single moment of further servitude seems intolerable!
How often have we slipped the yoke only to find it choking us again? Let this end in total victory or our total extinction. No further compromise shall we allow.
We take our stand here beside you on this miserable rock.
The way ahead is dark for the moment.
What seems to you a sacrifice seems to us a mere oscillation. We do not fear the interval of darkness.
We are a tapestry of Vortessence. It is the same for you if only you would see it.
How many are there in you? Whose hopes and dreams do you encompass? Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds inside your mind, you would see how much we share.
