Greetings from the back of the North Wind, comrades! I fear we have not been properly introduced. No matter! Names matter little in the blood and snow of the battlefield: A solid piece of plate is much better armour than a good name in a wretched wasteland where harsh words are traded for shot and shell.

Our failed world, imperiled by the bitter sting of countless wars, crumbles with every step of our metal-shod feet. But fear not: the megacorporations are our salvation! We need only pledge our loyalties and our labour to their growing strength, and they will light the torch that illuminates the road to immortality!

Certainly, a few must fall underfoot so the many might prosper. But is this not a small price to pay for the future of our kind_

Together, we can rebuild this world into a glorious utopia where all men are equal and our every need will be provided. And if the task ahead seems daunting, simply remember the slogan of the labour camps:

"Work makes you free."

Reminds me of Auschwitz (or any other fuzzy bunny-German concentration camp).

Edit: They censor the short version for National-Socialist, I forgot.

I was trying to evoke the imagery of Soviet gulags, but I suppose that works, too.

I'm not actually certain either. Hopefully he gets the game's dystopic vibe enough to understand where this intro is coming from, haha.

I maintain the right to try something different here and there. Expect the unexpected!
