Hey Voidfarer, when you gotta cut something out make sure you get it all. Sometimes even just a little piece of infection is enough to retake your whole system and then some. You got to get in there deep and rip out every last bit- just make sure you don’t go damaging the good stuff beyond repair with it. H.A.R.T reaches into the heart.

Hey Voidfarer, remember when I told you about my old man? One that took off for the stars first chance he got, left us high and dry? Caught up with him once when I was grown. Some divey spacer bar at the edge of the Human System. All those years he never got outta eyeshot of Homeworld. All those years and not a thing to say. In this one Raine and Xandar see for themselves.

Hey Voidfarer… nice. Looks like you ended up on the wrong end of this one. We’ve been set up so many times it’s hard to know which way is up and which is down. Listen, just when they think they’ve caught you with your tail between your legs, that's when you straighten up, pull your head outta your ass, and start firing back. In this one H.A.R.T spins it around.

Hey Voidfarer, just stick to the plan, got it? Been on enough of these jobs to know things start going south when folks get carried away. A little improvising can save your tail, but don’t get greedy… unless you can get away with it. Like I always say, get in quick, get out clean. In this one Raine and Xandar give ‘em the slip.

Hey Voidfarer, There’s more than one type of smarts- I don’t gotta tell you that. And while I ain’t never been much for books myself, it’s good to stick close to those that do. The one surefire way to get yourself into trouble is thinking there’s only one way to go about something. Takes all types in the Void ya know? In this one H.A.R.T hears them out.

Hey Voidfarer, I ever tell you about the time I spent in the clink? Total misunderstanding. Couple bruisers on the Stone seemed to think I nicked their transport humvee and maybe a few diamonds from it went missing, who could say? Point is… in there you only have what you come in with. Everything else you gotta make, steal, or borrow. In this one Raine and Xandar get their legs under them.

Hey Voidfarer, headed straight into the hornet's nest again are we? Well, no sense in letting them come to you. And if we’ve learned anything about each other so far… you prefer a direct approach. Any way I see it, we ain’t getting out of this one without getting stung. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T reach a crossroads.

Hey Voidfarer, don’t matter how big the other guy is if you’re ready for the fight. Us little guys, we’re used to taking cheap shots, ain’t we? See, the first fight is psychological. After you get past that, well then it just takes one solid hit. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T take the high road.

Hey Voidfarer, in the Void, green is king. Green’s as good as gold. You find just an inch across these howling wastes where something can put down roots and grow, now that’s a windfall. Life’s the scarcest, most precious resource we’ve got out here. We got to cultivate it… we got to defend it. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T leave no trace.

Hey Voidfarer, I’m looking at our odds and I like what I see. She’s a good ship. Everything you want in a dogfight. Yeah, she's got the speed and the firepower, but what's more: she’s got a soul. Not one of them Voidships fresh off the production line… No, the Corsair is a real Voidfarer’s vessel. A real hopper. In this one Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T take command.

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.
