The Watcher and Nebula's Narrations[]
- Nebula: "Welcome to Xandar. A place where everyone's luck eventually runs out. Even Yondu's. Someone did this to him. But the question is, who?"
- The Watcher: "All quests for redemption begin in darkness. And Nebula's was no different. In this universe, Ronan the Accuser betrayed Thanos. The Mad Titan's thirst for power had met its match. And in his fall, he took Nebula's sister along with him."
- Nebula: "I was lost, adrift in the ruins of my past. Until someone saw the light in me. With compassion and kindness, Nova Prime gave me a way forward. I swore the Nova Corps oath. Seek the light, be the light. Never stray from its path. Little did I know, our darkest days still lay ahead, when the man who destroyed my first home came gunning for my new one. Ronan and his forces attacked, bringing Xandar to the verge of destruction. Out of options, Nova Prime made a desperate call. She locked down Xandar behind an impenetrable planetary shield designed to last for 50 years, putting the planet out of his reach. Xandar was saved for the time being. But at what cost? Five years in, isolation has brought out the worst in all of us. Still, hope or no hope, I took an oath. Garthan Saal and his lackeys wasted their time hunting for the killer's weapon, when they really should have been looking for the victim's. Yondu and I had a past and some memories to go with it. Memories I could use. Oh, Yondu. What did you get into?"
- Nebula: "If I wanted to get inside that mainframe, I'd need someone with a rep for breaching high-end security. Someone who'd infiltrated Xandarian systems before."
- The Watcher: "Most quests for redemption begin in darkness. But with a little grit, a little faith in yourself, if you keep the path, you can find your way to the light."
