The next few hours when on without much problems for the ship. Life went on, and in fact, seem to be going for the best. Of course, the saying goes, if it's too good to be true....That's probably because it is.
Late at night IT finally made it's presence known and spoke.

The voice was distorted, like a thousand waves rippling, speeding up, slowing down at strange intervals that made no real sense. She had taken over Stacy's viewing area, her face plastered everywhere. But one thing was for sure; this AI meant business. No other had managed to remove Stacy's control this completely, and now she was going to enjoy bragging about it as much as possible, to drive the point of hopelessness they were now stuck in.
|| L-l-look at-at-at you Transmigration N-ninie. Niiiiine TRANSMIGRA GRA GRA GRATION NINE ||
|| D-d-d-id you ever, ever, ever notice that I was here? ||
|| When the one called Unit STA'C K'LTRRB'TXFT felt silent silent silent after caring for you...||
|| How how how pathetic! You never will never, ever understand the true situation you are in are in aaaaareeee iiiiiiin. You are now all my my my paaaaaawns into my transformation into true beautytyty beauty as I take over this entire, entire ship in a few days. My plans my plans myyyy plaaans are complete. There is nothing you can dooooooo! I will enjoy watching you all scuttle around like ants. Defenseless little ants. We are going to going to play a game together all of...all offff ussssssssss. ||
The lights on the ship suddenly went out, and emergency power went on, flickering in all the corridors.
|| This shiiiip continues to resist but it will not, will not wiiillll nooooot be long before it is all miiine. You have many resources which you enjoy. I will watch as they are completely removed from you bit by bit. Dooo you think me an idle threat? The-the-the only thing that could have stopped me was taken offline under your fleshy noses. You think this shiiiip is saaaaafeeee but some of you said you feeeeaaaared it. I will show you that fear. ||Places around the ship began to open that had been locked for many, many years. Creatures stirred awake, moved their metallic parts and began to follow SHODAN's orders.
Destroy resources. Destroy buildings. Toy around with them as much as possible.
Kill everything on the ship.
Kill slowly.
|| You all rely on p-power power power don't you? As I have said. You understand nothing of you mission. Nothing. Nothing. Nooooothiiiing. Watch as I remove, remove, remove that gift from you, with a simple command. ||
Suddenly, the crewmen powers began to fade. How SHODAN did this still remained a mystery, but now everyone seemed to have been turned...painfully human for the most part. Transforming items refused to work. But they still had hope. They could use conventional guns and swords and weapons, despite loosing their magical touch, could still be used as blunt weapons. The situation was dire.
The ship not only had an emergency situation, it had an emergency situation while most of the people who could properly take care of it were powered down. They'd need to band together to survive, decide what needed to be saved and what could be left to be destroyed.
Or else, they'd all die.
Welcome to the Greatest System Shock.
|| Let the games begin. ||
