I saw corps strip farmers of water... and eventually, of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueld by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets.

Corps've controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! V, I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by.

This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forces of entropy, understand?

Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em.

If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ take it!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell... you still don't see it.

But you will one day.

This war's brought us pain and suffering and loss.
But it's also brought us together--as soldiers, allies, friends. This bond that ties us together is something the Reapers will never understand.
It's more powerful than any weapon, stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed. The next few hours will decide the fate of everyone in the galaxy. Every mother. Every son. Every unborn child.
They're trusting you... depending on you to win them their future.
A future free from the threat of the Reapers.

But take heart.

Look around you.

You're not in this fight alone.

We face our enemy together, and together we will defeat them.
