  You forgot something about the laser: if you fire it too early and get the non standard game over from shooting it at earth yourself, SHODAN is genuinely happy with you and her dialog sounds remarkably similar to GLaDOS’s Party Escort Submission Position line in Portal: “Please wait where you are, and a cortex reaver will be along shortly to escort you to the celebration.”

  Here is some not so well known features of system shock.<br>1. Explosive items can be set off gunshots and by other explosives. There is nothing stopping a player from dropping 10 earthshaker charges and topping the pile off with a landmine. <br>2. The healing effect of med patches can stack. If you use around 40 medical patches at once you will heal your entire health bar every tick, making you nearly invincible.<br>3. According to the old manual leaning and crouching around a corner will greatly reduce the chance you get hit by enemies. <br>4. The walls in cyberspace is playing conway&apos;s game of life. The game is very nerdy.

  Fun fact, the Grove that the rich mofos &quot;escaped&quot; on had its life support disabled by Shodan right before the pod jettisoned.

  I’m sorry but “I’M HERE TO TAKE BACK THE THRONE OF GOD” is a badass line if I ever heard one

  I do love Shodan as a villain. Unlike other god complex AI, she doesn&apos;t attack us because she sees humanity as harmful to the greater good. She sees us as ugly and hates looking at humanity. Makes sense with her ethical restraints offline

  The rich guys who escaped on Gamma didn’t last long: unknown to them but known to the guy they told to launch them (via an audio log), SHODAN disabled life support in the grove before it was jettisoned, so they likely suffocated when the pod ran out of air, plants notwithstanding.

  The idea of seeing a Zero G Mutant completely remade in HD fills me with a sense of dread I never thought possible.

  Shower thought - Shodan referring to you as an insect works on a couple of levels. Sure, there&apos;s the obvious deity delusion, but also, Shodan is an AI and we came up with the word &apos;bug&apos; literally when an insect got into one of those old computers.

  Well this certainly brings a shock to the system.

  According to the strategy guide, Zero G mutants are the result of applying SHODAN’s mutagen virus to a single celled organism, either a bacterium or a different kind of virus, forcing it to grow giant. The fact they have human like screams when they die is still troubling though.

  I feel bad about &quot;um ackschually&quot;-ing, but Zero G Mutants weren&apos;t once people, they&apos;re a single-cell organism that was forced to grow into a multicellular structure.
