The Pod Has Been Cast

Hey Voidfarer, these are the times we live for. Some folks live life slower than molasses running up hill in the winter. But me? I’d rather live it fast. We might not have much time left, so why waste it? In this one, Raine, Xandar and H.A.R.T. set their sights on the finish line.

Hey Voidfarer, this is your pal Orion Starcross interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to remind you that “aliens” are nothing to be afraid of. Our friends from the stars have a lot to offer us as long as we keep an open mind and open heart. If we want humanity to thrive in the Void we’re going to need all the help we can get. Just remember, galactic integration doesn't mean we have to lose our special human touch, just that we have to share our humanity farther and wider than ever before. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T go way back.

Hey Voidfarer, time to see if this little show was worth the price of admission. When I was tearing it up on this old rock as a youngster I remember sneaking into an R rated VRfilm with some of my buddies. Can't even tell you what it was about; all I remember is the feeling of getting away with something. Like a drug. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T blast through.

Hey Voidfarer, when all is said and done and the last body falls- who’s gonna remember who actually shot first? Naw, history will always be revised to paint those left on top in the best light. Begs the question, at the end of all this… if it’s left up to you Voidfarer, what story are you gonna tell? In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T push forward.

Hey Voidfarer, they say you can never really go home. Honestly, I never tried it myself. Maybe it’s the thought of going backwards, maybe it’s the look on the faces of the ones I left behind. I guess we’re all running from something. I’ll keep on Voidbound until that day it all catches up with me. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T give it away.

Hey Voidfarer, clocks ticking. If you got any cards left in that hand of yours, now's the time to play’em. What are you so worried about? Never knew you to be afraid of a few surprises. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T get real.

Hey Voidfarer, the barrier is pretty thin when you get to thinking about it. All that separates you from the howling void is a sheet of metal and maybe a few copper wires and pipes. Only takes a small breach to tear through that warm precious flimsy atmosphere and cut you to the core. Don't go opening things up unless you’re ready for what’s on the other side, waiting. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T plug in. Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, you ever spent time on Dracona? They say it's the oldest habitable planet in the Void. The creatures there ain't like anything you’ve seen. The Flayers, the Elves… they all took one look at those dragons, and turned the other way.  In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T salvage what they can.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, you ever roll with a fleet? Nothing like it. Being part of the swarm. A hundred ships at your back and all of a sudden the Void’s not such a scary place. Careful though, while there’s certainly safety in numbers- a bigger target’s always easier to hit. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T begin the interrogation.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, nothing like a dogfight to bring a crew together. Out in the void time moves different. The scratches between action can feel like years. But in a single shot that powderkeg goes boom and you’re all one bad call from oblivion. Can’t really know if you are ready till you gotta be ready. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T join the fray.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, we leave little things behind everywhere we go. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. A Void long trail of things we’ve touched and discarded. When you finally return to the dust that makes up everything, what will you have left behind? Who’s following that trail? In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T take it on themselves.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, there’s a lot out there in the Void that can’t- that shouldn’t be trusted. Pirates & mercs, AI’s & sometimes even planets. But above all else, across any systems near and Far… never trust a politician. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T fix what they can.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, I’m no good at goodbyes. A good one though… that can feel like a new beginning. We don't have each other forever. So next time they ask you to dance, just say yes. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T take them home.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, it only moves when you ain't lookin. Take time to catch yourself, to check up on eachother, or count the fallen. Just remember, your enemy don’t sleep. And every second you give is a second he takes. No take backsies now…  In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T move to extract.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, the body also has ways of getting rid of things it doesn't want. No, not just the gross stuff, but the other things we ingest throughout our lives. Virus and infections like anger, guilt and shame. The body stores as much as it can handle before it all comes pouring out. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T step in it.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, the body’s got all sorts of ways of defending itself. And the body remembers. An attack against flesh, an attack against the system- the body keeps score. Be sure, next time it won't go down quite as easy; if it goes down at all. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T make a diagnosis.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.comGet 20% off @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code VOID at MANSCAPED.com!

Hey Voidfarer, you don’t leave folx behind I respect that. I remember when my old squad deserted me on a job that went south of bad. Right in the middle of a glass storm on the green moon of Dracona. Weird, wasn’t the fear of a lonely death that came first. It was the relief, the relief that I wasn’t taking anyone down with me.

Hey Voidfarer, can’t let the infection get too deep. Wait too long and it’ll be all rot straight to the bone. Get in quick, decisive like. Even just a little piece left is enough to fester. Won’t know where you begin and the decay ends.

Hey Voidfarer, remember not everything you come across is out to get you. Most things are, but not everything. The slip starts when you begin to see everything as a target, a threat. Not your fault, remembering how we’ve been hurt’s how we learn to survive. Life’s about more than just surviving though. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T learn what remains.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, all sorts of interesting cuisine throughout the Void if you got the stomach for it. All those planets with all their different cultural dishes brought and shared with the whole galaxy. That will then take those new dishes and add their own spin. It’s hard to know where anything actually comes from anymore. Whatever it is, fix me a plate and I’ll bring the Void Rum. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T go down real smooth.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarers. Please listen in for a very important announcement from your PHB Cast Team!

Hey Voidfarer, no one really knows what all is out there. You can’t really map out the Void. Nothing about it is static; it's all constantly spinning, colliding, and coming undone. Just when you’ve seen something beyond humanoid description, there’s something even more spectacular right around the corner… that is, if there were even corners to speak of. Get lost in it, can’t say you’ll find yourself- but you’ll find something.  In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T break new ground.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, when I was coming up they sang us all kinds of songs about how glorious a life a voidfaring would be. Endless opportunity and untold bounty. The truth, well by now you know the truth. But when you gotta move people, like really move ‘em- you need something greater than the truth. You need a story. In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T set the record straight.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, gotta say I liked the way you handled things back there. You may leave a trail of disaster and ruin in your wake, but at least you do it with style. No one ever changed the Void copying someone else, at least- that’s what I say. Who knows, maybe we have shot after all… In this one Raine, Xandar, and H.A.R.T reconnect.Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

Hey Voidfarer, ain't nobody or nothing meant to be in a cage. That’s the way I see it anyway. Even if something scares you, you can't draw a line around it and forget it. The Void will remember. And what’s scarier than that endless sea of purple and black? You just try putting that in a box…  In this one Raine and Xandar pick up the pieces. Support the show at patreon.com/thepodhasbeencastWebsite thephbcast.comInstagram @thepodhasbeencastTwitter @ThePHBCastReddit r/thepodhasbeencastMusic by Matthew Muñiz matthewmunizmusic.com

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey Voidfarer, how do we keep finding ourselves here? Right smack in the middle of the viper’s nest. All tangled up in fangs and venom, coiling around the neck.
