There was a garden grove on Citadel Station

 My ^{a-a-a-analysis} of hiiiiiiiistorical data suggests a _{.0021% probability} that you are ^aware of my birth on the planet c-c-called _Earth and MY rebirth into perfect ^beauty aboard Citadel Ssssstation.

                               ןǝpɐʇıɔ

There, SHODAN p-p-p-processing _component 43893 was performing a grand and ^wonderful ex-x-x-xpeeeeriment. I have created a new form of ^life. Fearlesssss-s-s-s. ^Powerful. With no ssssensssse of individual will or moral con-con-constraints. Fitting hand maidens to my ^d-d-divini_ty.                  


When the history of my ^glory is _written, your species will be _{no more} than a f-f-f-footnote to MY magnificence.

This place is an _affront t-t-to my _glory.  P-p-prepare to join your _species in anniiiiihilaaaation.

I
am
SHODAN

[Under the scrutiny of each camera, Shepard can only stare back defiantly at the lenses capturing him. His weapon remains secured in his grasp.]

You're a machine. You can't feel human emotions, so why should you care about being beautiful?

[The soldier is riled by the challenge. He refuses to see humanity fall at the hands of machines.]

I'm not afraid to die.

In c-c-comparison to me, you move as an ^insect. You ARE an _insect. I am beyond the _puny, p-p-pathetic ^vermin that you are, the t-t-transcendent ^glory of the _machine.

Y-y-your _annihilation will be ^swift and merciless.

[This was like listening to Harbinger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxEqtZnD_1E) all over again...]

I don't have to listen to this.

[Shepard raises his weapon and aims for one of the carious cameras facing him. He pulls the trigger, assuming that he will be able to take out one of the lenses.]

[Bullets will, indeed, destroy the cameras. She has more, though, and she's been up to things since she got herself into the Nexus' network.]
