Video Messages

Viktor appears on video, wearing a white lab coat over a green shirt and a pair of black glasses. He is smiling, happy.

Viktor: Hi V, I've seen the picture. I'm so fucking proud of you son. Here things have been quite complicated, I won't hide it from you. But I'm sure even this time the city will find a way to rise, again. I would like to say to come back for a beer but do me a favor…Never come back in this shit hole, don't give up on nostalgia. You have won, son and wherever you are I hope you are happy and free.

Misty appears on video, wearing a gray sweatshirt. She has long, untied blond hair, In the recording she sounds calm.

Misty: Hi V, I heard your message...I tried several times to call you but I could never find you. Listen, Jackie he...He wouldn't have wanted you to live trapped in the past, V. Life can sometimes be painful but also full of joy and it's up to us to live it, one day after another. I'd like to read the cards to you one last time, but I've realized that it's pointless to try to predict the future. It is better to build it for ourselves… Bye, V and thanks.

Rogue appears, wearing her yellow shirt. She is sitting at an Afterlife table and sipping from a glass.

Rogue: V! I've heard quite a few rumors. Fuck, a whole gang pulverized in one night...You and Panam have come a long way. Night City had better times, I must admit, but the Afterlife is always in its place, eternal. Maybe you two could stop by, I have several interesting matters to discuss with you.

Eric appears, wearing a black suit with a red tie and a small pin with the Arasaka logo on it. He looks sad and troubled.

Eric: Hello, V. Surely you will be surprised to hear from me but I have a few things to tell you. I became section director for science cooperation with Biotechnica, but I'm not calling to tell you about my career. You know…You shouldn't have thrown that tablet away…There was more on it than you could have imagined. Now I have an office in the tower in Night City, why don't we discuss it here? I could arrange safe transportation. I'm sure Faith would like that too…Even though we don't talk much lately. I hope you understand what's really at stake here. 

Garrison appears, wearing the Aldecaldo jacket with a camouflage jumpsuit underneath. He is sad and ashamed.

Garrison: Hi V. I saw the picture with Panam, she looks so happy and I wish I could say the same. Unfortunately things are not going very well here…Surely you heard about the Militech deal and I understand why Panam doesn't want to talk to me anymore. But Vincent we had no fucking choice, do you understand that?! Now we are on patrol in the Badlands and I confess that sometimes it is nice to take out some Wraith and the new toys aren't bad at all, but... I miss the life we had before. Fuck, you have to fill out a wall of paperwork just to fire four shots in the desert...I was actually calling to warn you that things are getting hot here, Vincent. I haven't seen this much tension since the war...Take care, both of you.

A lady wearing a wedding ring in her right hand and a blue dress appears in the message. She is filled with anger and sorrow.

Elena Goodwill: Hi Vincent. That's your name, isn't it?! People keep showing up at my door with packs of money, but I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN BLOODY MONEY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! I want my husband back...He was a good, honest man, Vincent and you killed him. To run away like a coward. I hope you and that other bitch will spend the rest of your miserable life, hiding like rats. I hope you can spend a long and empty existence without PEACE!

A video starts playing, with Takemura in it. He is wearing a blue and black military jacket, in the message he appears troubled.

Takemura: Hi, V. A lot of things happened and we, you know...We never had a chance to talk. I wanted to thank you and I also owe you an apology for what happened in Night City and Nix. I am no longer part of the company, I joined the Japanese army, they are recruiting…massively. I wanted to tell you that on the off chance that you will come by Tokyo, you will always have an old friend ready to watch your back...Take care, V. And give my regards to Miss Palmer.

A woman in her forties, with black, curly hair appears on video.

Nora: Hi, V. I'm Nora Cartwright but I used to be Deckard by last name. A courier showed up here with a package full of money and a note, it said on it to call this number and so there, I did. I was hoping you could help me shed some light on this...I'm not going to pretend to feel sorry for my husband, because I really buried him a long time ago. But if you hear from him I would like to know if he at least managed to find peace, that's all. I only took the money I needed to pay for my son's college, I gave the rest to charity. I have no idea what they are, but no amount of money will give me back the years lost, nor the happy childhood my son never had. So if you see him, let him know.

River appears on video wearing a brown coat, looking curious but hopeful.

River: Hello, V. I don't even know if this is still your number but I'm going to try anyway...I wanted to thank you again for what you've done here, for my family I mean. The last six months have been very, very difficult but Joss and the rest of the family are fine. Randy is completely healed and has started living again. I stopped being a detective for good and opened a private agency and honestly things couldn't be any better… I am literally swamped with work! See, in this last period, many have disappeared and the police can't handle everything. I've seen the news reports about the Aldecaldos, but I don't buy it...I mean first you're terrorists, then you're undercover agents...Maybe if you were to come by Night City you could, you know...Tell me how it is, over the beer we never had. 

Kerry appears on video, peaceful and calm.

Kerry: Hi, V! I saw the news and well fuck...This whole thing is fucking unbelievable. I managed to leave Night City before all that mayhem and among other things I finished the album. I'm going on a tour in Europe next year, I'd love to see you again but I'm not too sure that's going to happen. Thanks for everything, really and say hello to Johnny for me if you still hear from him.

A video displaying just an empty, black screen is shown. With the song "Never Fade Away" played over an old telephone line.

Max appears on video, wearing a black shirt and a bullet necklace that V gave him.

Max: Vincent, hello. I found your number on Dad's phone. He sent me to study in Europe and here for me it's all...strange, complicated. You know, Dad and I don't talk much, he's always busy at work and mom, well…She's going through a very difficult time. I was wondering...You and Panam how...I mean I met this girl I think I like...How do you know she's the one? You and her seem very close, how do you…How do you do it?

V: Hi Max!…Sorry I didn't answer you right away, the service is really bad here. In any case, the key is to just be yourself, just that. If she is the right one you'll know. No matter what, always try to be yourself, Max…But if you decide to change, try to find something really worth doing it for.
