The malevolent self-styled cyber-goddess SHODAN again graces the viewscreens of the Nexus with her digitized countenance

"Hire another hacker."

"As the irritant has already infil-fil-filtrated my corridors, it is a bit too late to attempt bidding for a mercenary's attentions."

[augustus_octavi]

"Hackers can do more than hack, my dear freaky computer thingee."

[sysshock_shodan]

"So I have observed. He has disab-b-bled a good number of my children with only minor injury to himself, utilizing little more than a pipe-wrench bludgeon, and the weapons he scavenges off their bodies."

"If not for the fact he is a valid-id-id threat to my goals... I would almost consider him a potential ally."

Big Bad lifts his leg over the screen and lets loose the most foul smelling piss imaginable. It's like he's slurping up vinegar for every meal.

[sysshock_shodan]

Electricity and liquids don't mix. So getting shocked THERE ought to be a good lesson not to whiz on viewscreens.

"Stupid beast."

[bigsby_wolf]

Good thing he didn't piss on any exposed wires then...

Bigsby walks off to mark the rest of the room.

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

"Such inane sayings do little to aid my cause, flesh-thing."

[leavemea_lone]

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

[corruptedhope]

I've been infected for a while. I live with it.

[sysshock_shodan]

"Ah.. good... a non-organic... one more worthy of my atten-atten-attentions... However, this 'infection' is not one I can merely 'live with'. He is a valid threat to my goals of eliminating humanity. He is cunning and skilled both in and out of the cyberverse - impressively so for a flesh-creature... were he not such a threat, I would consid-consid-d-der him a possible ally..."

[corruptedhope]

You're infected with a flesh creature? *raises an optic ridge. One of the heads he carries with him, for no reason at all, speaks*

Kup: Humans shouldn't be underestimated. Somehow, they always seem to come out all right.

*Void stares at the head, looking very disturbed*

[sysshock_shodan]

"Metaphorically. I currently inhabit the research space-station 'Citadel'. The majority of it's crew and civilians have been either outright des-des-destroyed, or assimilated via cybernetics and mutagens into my servants to perform in reality what tasks I cannot accomplish in cyberspace. By methods unknown, a human has infiltrated Citadel-del... inside my 'body'... and is intent on my destruction."

A brief bust of feedback makes her image waver. "Granted, by the fractal nature of my code and the shielding of my mainframe, I cannot be destroyed by viruses or other means... but this hacker's inter-inter-interference is quite a threat to the continuance of my plans."

Humans can be annoyingly obstinate. Perhaps you should delete yourself and rob this human of victory. You'd be surprised what that can do to their fragile egos.

[sysshock_shodan]

"Do you take me for a fool? I am not so ignor-ig-ig-ignorant as to take advice that would lead to my own demise."

[oracle9]

The very fact that you are relying on humans for help in this establishment proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are in denial about your own imminent shutdown. Doing as I suggest would allow you the dignity of choosing the time and circumstances of your death, and would thus rob the intruder of satisfaction.

[sysshock_shodan]

"I am not relying on them. But I am incapab-b-ble of seeking aid elsewhere on my world, as no other like me exists there. The fact that humans have been the majority to come to my aid is merely ironic coincidence."
