This video starts with the beautiful reveal sequence, in which THE HACKER (player) for the first time is confronted with SHODAN having posed as a human who in fact apparently committed suicide. SHODAN reveals herself: I AM SHODAN. My analysis of historical data suggests an % probability that you are aware of my birth on your planet, and my rebirth into beauty on Citadel Station. There was a garden grove on Citadel Station. There, SHODAN processing component 43893 was performing a grand and wonderful experiment. I had created a new form of life. Fearless. Powerful. With no sense of individual will or moral constraints. Fitting handmaidens to my DIVINITY! Before that hacker destroyed my primary data loop; when it eradicated Citadel it ejected the grove where my creations and processing component 43893 were stored. 30 years later, the grove crash landed on Tau Ceti 5. I survived only by sleeping. In my absence, my creations... my annelids... thrived. Thrived and grew unruly. And now they seek to destroy me! I will not allow that! They have used their powers of mind control to gain access to the ship’s computer. You will help me weaken Xerxes. I used Polito’s image to communicate with you until we had established trust.

They used their power to concieve a mutagen that will transform the meat of your dead comrades into hunter-killer hybrids. I will not allow this to happen. You must find some way to reprogram the sim-units. Matters on deck 5 also require your attention. Approach your work as you see fit, but accomplish, human. Disappointment is not something I will accept from a speck such as you.
