 | | Consider the first System Shock, wherein SHODAN (an A.I. constructed by the character you play, generally known as The Hacker) becomes self-aware (assigning herself a gender along the way), decides human beings are an infestation, and begins to slaughter every human in her home, Citadel Station. |
 | | After revealing herself to you, SHODAN drops the gloves completely and her voice becomes more and more modulated, as a chorus of voices, each running at different speeds, joins in to harangue you for whatever youre doing wrong (dawdling, dying, whatever). |
 | | She is on the cover, yet you will never find a SHODAN pin-up (unless its fan art), or SHODANs head grafted onto the body of a Playboy Bunny in order to sell more games. |
