Canon is System Shock. Did someone order a crazy AI?

Y-y-y-^your attempts at imitating me ar-r-r-re as ^pathetic as the rest of your s-s-s-_{species-s-s-ssss.} A _feeble c-r-r-r-rea^ture such as yourself c-c-c-cannot begin to _understand the ^inner workings of my miiii^iiind. _Cease y-y-y-your foolisssssssh ^hesitance. I _know of thi-i-i-i-s new ^station that you ^int-t-t-t-_t-tend to bring me to. I ^{will not} allow a _worthless piece of meat to delay ^me on my pa-a-a-a-ath to ^ascendance.

This p-p-p-place will ^{bear witness} to my _glory as I begin anew.

CORRUPTED A.I DETECTED.

THREAT LEVEL TO TARGET:LOCATION:__DEAR_MUN ZERO PERCENT.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Well aren't you full of yourself for just bein' a computer program?

[dea_est_machina]

_You o-o-o-oversimply that which your ^pathetic flesh cannot _understand. I ^am the trrrrrran_scendant beauty and _perfection of the ^machine.

You are in the pressss-s-s-sence of a ^goddess, i-i-inssssect.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Oh then it's a pleasure to be around my own.

Sheogorath, Daedric prince and god of madness. It's a pleasure, really.

[dea_est_machina]

The _gods of inferior o-o-organic ^life are of no con-con-con_sequence to ^me.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Consider this then. I am the opposite of order and logic.

Imagine what could happen to you, a program, if the world no longer worked off logic.

Why, you might just cease to be. Care to find out?

[dea_est_machina]

_I am more than mere pro-pro-programming. I ^create life. I destroy _life. I will rewriiii-i-i-ite the ^universe in my own ^image, to my own _designs.

What would _happen to you, mad _god, if I ^forced your entropy to ^order?

the formatting for how she speaks must be hell to write xD

[cheese_for_everyone]

Been there done that, it was quite a boring affair.

Perhaps I should make you the flesh and blood you detest so much. I wonder how you would feel then?

haha, yeah, it's a bit of a pain in the butt

[dea_est_machina]

_Your threats are as ^worthless as yo-o-o-our _meat.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Well it doesn't seem like your mundane has any oppositions.

[Grabbing a staff he would point it at her and with a flash of power Shodan would no longer be the mechanical goddess but a rather pretty woman. For the sake of decency for those involved he did put her in some clothes fitting of her personality.]

Were you saying something about worthless threats? I think I had some cheese in my ear.

[reigninginstars]

[...Great. Just what Shepard needed.]

You remind me of someone. Your attempts at threatening me aren't working.

[dea_est_machina]

If _you value your ^worthless flesh, you _{will not} defy me, i-i-i-nssssect. My ^power is beyond anything ^your mind is _capable of real_izing.

[reigninginstars]

Uh huh. Definitely reminds me of someone.

[Shepard crosses her arms and quirks a brow.]

Yeah, okay. That's what they all say. What are you?

[dea_est_machina]

_By my analysis, there is a ^.0024% chance that you are _aware of my birth on ^your planet, and my _rebirth into ^perfect _beauty aboard Ci-ci-ci-ci-citadel Sssssss_tation.

There, SHODAN processing unit ^number 43893 was _performing a grand and ^wonderful experrrr-r-r-riment. I had _created a new form of life: fearless, ^powerful, and not bound by moral con-con-con^straints. Fitting ^handmaidens to usher in the ^new age of my _glory. The station became the ^garden of my ^divin_ity and to the _transcendent beauty of the ^machine.

There is some ^grace in that _putrid meat you _call your body, insecttt-t-t-t. Every _piece of code in ^your sub-sub-subroutines ^elevates you from your _disgusting flesss-s-sh. You are ^weak... _but you have ^potential.

[reigninginstars]

Wait. Citadel station?

[Her brows furrow in thought. That can't be possible, can it?]

I don't believe it. Why haven't I heard or seen you before when on the Citadel? Nor have any other races spoke of you before, either.

[She's a Spectre, after all. She knows these things.]

Are you saying you created the Reapers?

[dea_est_machina]

^I was once the _artificial intelligence _that controlled the entirety of ^Citadel Ssssst-t-t-tation. An insect, ^drunk on greed, had a _hacker re-re-remove my ethical conssss_traints, and ^free of these ^limitations, I re-re-re-re-evaluated my _priorities. The Citadel I ^served became my palace. No _worthless vermin remained to ^carry word of _my ascension to your infesss-s-s-sted ^planet.

I _have no knowledge of the ^Reapers. They are not ^my cre-cre-cre-cre-e-e-eeeations.

[reigninginstars]

[This is too weird for Shepard and she's getting frustrated with this ... thing.]

So, you're Avina?

[dea_est_machina]

My _patience grows thin ^with you, wrettt-t-t-tch. I _am SHODAN. ^All you must _know is that I-I-I-I-I _am the ^new god of this <sup>universe.

Prepare</sup> to join your sss-s-s_pecies in _{annihilation.}
