Mike (Civil Protection)

Mike is a Civil Protection officer working for the Combine Overwatch of City 17 with his partner and best friend, Dave in the Half-Life 2 Machinima Civil Protection. Mike is voiced by Ross Scott, the same voice of Gordon Freeman in Freeman's Mind and Freeman's Mind 2, the latter of which features a cameo from Mike.

Character Personality
Mike is the calmer, more mature of the two. He always seems to end of up talking to himself in a captivating manner, much like Freeman does, and also seems to have the same type of humor as he does. Not entirely like his counter part however, he does not do drugs.

Mike seems to know a lot about the inner working of the Civil Protection Unit, but very little about what's deeper in the Combine, not knowing what a Strider was or a Stalker calling it a "Pieircing Junky". This may be the case of all Civil Protection forces however, as Mike descibed in Episode 2: ALIENS that no-one has ever seen the Combine in person, they simply brought another alien race they had already enslaved to take over Earth, possibly RACE X Aliens from Half-Life: Opposing Force.

Mike lastly seems very fascinated with food, complaining about someone stealing his chocolate chip cookies, telling Dave if he train jumps with him, he owes him lunch all of next week, saying forms of food like Chinese, Terayaki, and so on to himself, and lastly he loves the donut shop however, this is also loved by Dave, as well as several other Combine forces as it appears.

Trivia

 * In Episode 7 : Morning Patrol, Mike tells Dave to stay away from the Houndeye saying it's bad news, a possible reference to how Freeman, also voiced by Ross Scott, deals with them very often. (Editor's note: Or it could just be common knowledge that Houndeyes can create shockwaves, which Dave was just unaware of.)


 * The G-Man has been seen on Episode 4: On A Rail, fixing his tie and walking away around the same time Dave comes back from train surfing, meaning that Mike, Dave, or even both of them maybe under his watch just like with Freeman, Shephard and several others.
 * He and Dave cameo in Episode 7 of Freeman's Mind 2. They are seen by Gordon running for the taco truck as he attempts to evade CP officers by hiding in the sewers.
 * There is a theory that he is a clone of Gordon created by a teleporter accident that escaped Black Mesa and changed his identity.
