I think it is important to mention that the black scientist seen first at 3:03 and later at 3:38 is Dr. Eli Vance, father of Alyx Vance, the protagonist of HL:Alyx. Dr. Eli was an integral part of HL2 and its episodes. When the game HL1 was first made the scientists were generic, but were later retconned as having names, backgrounds and important roles in the story, like Eli and Isaac Kleiner. This is from the website combineoverwiki: "The African-American scientist model ("scientist03", or "Luther") was turned into the character Eli Vance for Half-Life 2. Eli is said to have lived at the Black Mesa Research Facility with his wife (Azian) and daughter (Alyx), although they are not seen or mentioned in Half-Life. Eli was retconned in Half-Life as being the scientist who sent Gordon for help right after the Resonance Cascade.[2] In Black Mesa East, Eli tells Gordon after meeting him again: "The last time I saw you, I sent you up for help after the Resonance Cascade. I never thought it would take you this long to get back to me!"" Not sure if you forgot about it or thought is was not relevant, even though its the father of the main character of the new game.
