I saw corps strip farmers of water... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! V, I've declared war not 'cause 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 spiraled 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.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past.
