  • The reason they come to Earth ( aside from reproduction, of course) is because the Combine invaded their home planet. They did to it what was planned for HL2 (I.E. they changed the planet's atmosphere to be more Combine-friendly), and this screwed over their ability to reproduce. So the few that managed to escape the Combine end up making their way to Earth on a ship they had from before their version of the 7-Hours war (which, given the rough tech level, probably lasted more along the lines of seven days - in other words, enough time to evac the then-queen - Diana - and a moderate amount of V's trained for multiple tasks.)

  • The reason they come to Earth ( aside from reproduction, of course) is because the Combine invaded their home planet. They did to it what was planned for HL2 (I.E. they changed the planet's atmosphere to be more Combine-friendly), and this screwed over their ability to reproduce. So the few that managed to escape the Combine end up making their way to Earth on a ship they had from before their version of the 7-Hours war (which, given the rough tech level, probably lasted more along the lines of seven days - in other words, enough time to evac the then-queen - Diana - and a moderate amount of V's trained for multiple tasks.) The reason why Anna's adopted the hatred for Human Emotion is because the Combine did some experimenting. The V's originally did have emotions. But the Combine, with their ability to bioengineer things (such as Striders and Gunships), released some sort of agent that caused V's to see emotion as useless - just like one would figure for an Overwatch soldier or a Hunter. The ability to hatch V's that fill different roles is natural - the Combine had nothing to do with that (though it is possible that they DID inspire some technologies.) The Combine have not yet decided to come take the V's back. They see no point in it - yet.
