Hey Voidfarer, we know what we have to do. Our job is scarier than most, but the void ain’t for the faint of heart. With an open mind, blaster at my hip and a solid crew at my back- I vow to bring peace to this howling infiniteness. I make that vow for the good of all Voidkind. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T pick sides.

Hey Voidfarer, When my old man left us for the stars… thought I’d never stop looking up at the sky. Like, maybe if I did, Zodiac knows how, he’d know I was still looking out for him. Then, when I became a voidfarer myself I left the ones I love below. Looking up for me… Better to keep your head down and your heart closed I think. Leaving’s in the blood. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T get it out of their systems.

Hey Voidfarer, are you mad at me? If I ever do something out of line, you know you can talk to me about it, right? The hardest part about friendship is holding each other accountable. But I'll be darned if that’s an easy thing to actually do… to look someone, someone you love, in the eyes and tell ‘em, “you’ve done me wrong”. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T get a wakeup call.

Hey Voidfarer, been a long road for us so far and I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye every step of the way. I just wanted to say… I wanted you to know that no matter what, I couldn’t have made it this far without you. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T get what’s coming.

Hey Voidfarer, how do we keep finding ourselves here? Right smack in the middle of the viper’s nest. All tangled up in fangs and venom, coiling around the neck. Some thrive in that kinda mess, the ones that know how to shoot a target dead on with a glance or slice a major artery with the right word. Me? I’ll stick with my sidearm. In this one Raine listens in, Xandar leans in, and H.A.R.T steps in.

Hey Voidfarer, you know… I think I might have underestimated you. You got a cool head and a steady eye. What’s more important, is that you’re true. That’s a rare thing out here. Hell, I've done the old double cross dance a few times in my day. Not you though Voidfarer. You’re honest. Let’s just hope that don’t get you killed. In this one Raine locks up, Xandar unlocks, and H.A.R.T locks in.

Hey Voidfarer, you’re in their sights now. Only thing between you and sweet oblivion is your side iron and a bit of luck. Don't discount how far you can make that stretch. Hey, if you’re going down today, just make sure you drag a few of those bastards to meet the Zodiac with you. In this one Raine turns it on, Xandar turns around, and H.A.R.T turns back.

Hey Voidfarer, this all makes me think of an old job. An outpost we were trying to secure out in the Far System. A little cradle of life sat on top of a desolate ice ball. Kept getting swarmed by these parasites- nasty lil suckers. Took a lot of fire to put them down and keep them there. Turns out we set that colony right on top of their natural breeding grounds. In the end it wasn’t about who the real invaders were- it was about who could hold out the longest. In this one Raine translates, Xandar transports, and H.A.R.T is transfixed.

Hey Voidfarer, you’re on your own now. You think I like it like this, sitting on the sidelines gathering dust? I’d give anything to ride into the howling, guns out right beside you. Guess that’s just not my lot in life. Some of us tell the story- some of us are the story. In this one Raine brings it in, Xandar brings it back, and H.A.R.T brings it down. 

Hey Voidfarer, you know what I like about you? You’re always true to your friends. Friends are important out here- they’re everything. Good ones will keep you alive. Course, bad ones might get you killed. I’d like to think we’re friends by now, eh Voidfarer? Say, am I a good friend… or bad? In this one Raine sees it, Xandar speaks it, and H.A.R.T hears it.

Hey Voidfarer, pick that head of yours up. What, you got knocked down once? If I had a gold credit for every time I got my bell rung… I’ll tell you what, I wouldn’t still be running gate-to-gate cargo and bounty out of this old clunker. Times like these are what make a real Voidfarer. So, show me what you got. In this one Raine shakes it off, Xandar gets the shakes, and H.A.R.T shakes loose.

Hey Voidfarer, let’s do this one by the numbers, ok? Starting to feel just like old times… Just you, your team, and the job at hand. Nothing in the Void quite like pulling off a job and taking a bit of G out of some sucker’s pocket. Why don’t we show them how it’s done? In this one Raine cooks, Xandar books, and H.A.R.T looks.
