Blacks not working with the HECU?

If "Apprehension" is to be believed then they certainly were working together, at least originally. Right after you fight the assassins you enter a door and get captured by the marines.

Perhaps it was only later, after the operation was considered a failure, that the Black Ops arrived in force to finish the job? They might then eliminate surviving marines since they're dead anyway and the Black Ops can't or don't care to evacuate them.

No, I think that's just because the Black Ops at the time hadn't been elaborated on, so nobody knew if they were allied with or against the HECU. Opposing Force expanded on this. Plus, maybe the Black Ops got in position after those HECU got in that room - the surface access thing was shut, the Female Assassins couldn't hear them. Hell, the article says it itself: "The distinction between the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit and the Black Ops was not made at first in the original Half-Life. Although the two groups never encountered one another in the game, Female Assassins were coded to fight on the same side as the Marines. Many players assumed this meant they were working with the military since assassins had no backstory, and as such, many fan-made maps included them fighting alongside each other. It was not until the release of Opposing Force that more insight regarding the Black Ops was revealed." 69.119.94.50 00:27, 28 April 2020 (MSK)
