The entire question is pretty much in the title above. However I will try to elaborate.
In the game at the very beginning you are urged to get out of the city completely because the reactor is going to explode. However, you are told that you will not have time to exit the city with reactor so close to blowing. So you have to stabilize it then exit the city.
Later on you find out that the combine is actually trying to send a message back to their homework in another dimension. You discover this after you have stabilized the reactor.
The reactor is stabilized and the combine is still receiving power from it.
Here is what I don't understand:
If they were receiving power from the reactor, and they needed to send a message. Then why did they force the reactor to go critical? That's actually counter intuitive. Because then they would not continue to receive power to send the message. I did see that they were able to send the message right before it exploded. But... I'm still confused.
Were these two events connected or completely unrelated?
Connected such as: they could only receive the power to send the message as it was going critical?
Or unconnected such as: they needed to send the message, so they sent it, but they also wanted to kill people so they blew up the city.
Thanks in advance for any extra info!
