Achievements-everything site Xbox360Achievements.org<\/a> has turned out the official list of Portal 2’s Achievements ahead of its April launch, and one in particular has everybody up in a conspiracy-foamy about Half-Life 2: Episode Three.<\/p>\n

Ostensibly somewhat unremarkable, the “Ship Overboard” Achievement has players discovering the “missing experiment”. On closer examination (anoraks required), the ship in question could be the Borealis – an Aperture Science vessel briefly featured in Half-Life2: Episode Two. According to the game’s Isaac Kleiner, the Borealis contains some mysterious technology that promises an “advantage for humanity”.<\/p>\n

Aaaand, speculate away.<\/p>\n
