Foreword

My Aim: These transcripts are here to help those who do not have access to the in-game videos. These will allow you to follow the plot. I've done the best I can in keeping these transcripts both to-the-point like the videos, while still explaining the atmosphere. I felt that explaining exactly what the backgrounds look like was time-consuming, pace-killing and irrelevant.

Defining Plotline/Non-Plotline: Quite simply, plotline transcripts are those which you either must see during the course of play, or have a direct story effect. Non-plotline are those not affecting the story or those affecting the story but not essential. E.g. the second Gangboy video is non-essential, but it adds a lot to the story so it's included in Plotline.

Distribution: Since the videos were created by SR, and therefore weren't written by me, you are free to add this to your own website and distribute it however you want. I would ask though for a small mention, for taking the time to do something so badly needed by the newer members to the Hardwar community. Thanks.

Pictures: Most transcripts now have pictures by their name, so you can use less of your imagination :) Some don't, because they are practically identical to other cutscenes. E.g. Klamp Response is practically identical in camera work to Denial, and the Xavier Lazarus videos all re-use camera angles. Also, there is a Flash of the Final Cutscene, made by Wez.

Mirrors: These transcripts are also at http://www.capsu.org/hardwar/faq/, and www.hardwar.info.
