GriCom

GriCom is a fictional company that appears in the video game Half-Life 2: Episode Two. It is presented as a global conglomerate with a significant presence in various industries, including technology, construction, and resource extraction. The company's logo, a stylized globe with three interlocking rings, is visible throughout the game world, often on their buildings, vehicles, and equipment.

In the narrative of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, GriCom is portrayed as a major player in the post-Combine invasion world. While not directly aligned with the Combine, their operations seem to have been significantly impacted and perhaps even co-opted by the alien forces. Evidence suggests that GriCom's infrastructure and resources were utilized by the Combine for their own purposes, such as mining and development.

The company's role in the game is primarily environmental, contributing to the visual landscape and the backstory of the world. Players encounter abandoned GriCom facilities and remnants of their operations, hinting at a past that predates and continues alongside the Combine occupation. The nature of GriCom's business dealings and their ultimate fate under Combine rule are left somewhat ambiguous, adding to the mystery of the game's setting. Despite its fictional status, GriCom serves as a plausible element within the Half-Life universe, illustrating the complex interplay of human corporations and alien dominance.
