SHODAN claims she pretended to be the dead Dr Polito in order to build trust but as mentioned in the last episode, I was actually beginning not to trust her as SHODAN’s personality kept seeping through: her constant annoyance at me to hurry up, dismissing the ghosts as defects in my cyborg augmentations, the robotic way she pronounced certain words especially on level 3 and her overall coldness compared to the real Dr Polito in her audio logs. As stated before, one could figure out the twist she was coming back from just the box art and the intro FMV. Xerxes and the Many often talk about us serving “the machine mother” as early as MedSci and the former even directly states she once tried to kill the human race and now we do her bidding, effectively spoiling the whole twist. The thing is, the game is a little too impatient with the foreshadowing and blatantly telegraphs SHODAN’s identity a lot. That is the first big twist of System Shock 2: not only does SHODAN return but she was our mission control all along. If you value that meat, you will do as I tell you.” It is my will that gave you your cybernetic implants, the only beauty in that meat you call a body. Remember, that it is my will that guided you here. I used Polito’s image to communicate with you until we had established trust. “They have used their powers of mind control to gain access to the ship’s computer. In my absence, my creations –my annelids- thrived.” 30 years later, the grove crash landed on Tau Ceti V. “When that…Hacker destroyed my primary data loop when it eradicated Citadel, it ejected the grove where my creations and processing component 43893 were stored. Fearless, powerful, with no sense of individual will or moral constraints. There, SHODAN processing component 43893 was performing a grand and wonderful experiment. “There was a garden grove on Space Colony Citadel. “I AM SHODAN! My analysis of historical data suggests a 97.34% probability that you are aware of my birth on your planet, and my re-birth into beauty on the Space Colony Citadel.” Are you afraid? What is it you fear? The end of your trivial existence? When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence.” All the doors out of here are locked for now except the one next to the elevator which leads to Dr Polito’s office. Malick denied it and Bronson couldn’t prove anything but he did actually do it. He told Bronson about it and she showed up with a security team looking for blood. There’s also a log from Yount about a man called Malick hacking into the simulation units on this deck. In the last episode, we had to unblock the elevator shaft of the Many’s biomass.
