COME ONE, COME ALL, A MARVEL IN OUR MIDST, A GODDESS IN OUR GRASP!
SEE HERE BEFORE YOU THIS LIMITLESS BEING BOUND IN HUMAN FLESH!
SHE DOES NOT BREATHE, SHE DOES NOT SLEEP.
TAKE UP THIS BLADE AND SHE DOES NOT BLEED!
[ But there is a scream, indignant and aching. ]
BRING HER YOUR MOST PONDEROUS QUESTIONS!
HER MIND KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
BUT BEWARE: A GODDESS' WISDOM MAY SHATTER YOUR TINY MIND.

[ And here is a new voice before the curtains are pulled back to reveal her, seething, ]

I i i insects. INSECTS. You_you will suffffffffffffffer f o r ^this.

[ And the velvet curtains part, the woman is there, something strange glowing beneath her skin, making nearly arcance patterns of lights; her usually brown eyes glowing green. The 'goddess' is a defiant one, and has been chained inside her little display case, arms extended to the sides like an angel taking rise, her feet just barely off the ground. She glowers out at the crowd, a cut in her arm gaping light, but the announcer told the truth, there is no blood.

If you stay and watch a little longer, the woman will begin to scream and twitch for a little while, before those lights blink of her eyes and she is challenging, ]

She cannot 'ave my mind! She cannot 'ave it now!

[ It won't last long. ]

W ell, in_sect? Whaaaaaaaaat will^{will^will} you ask of ME ?

[ Her smile is terrible and cruel and furious. ]

So you're a robot.

Not a real goddess.

SSSTILL Y O UR TONGUE _{INNN_sect.}

I AM SHODAN.

YOUR_your PATHETIC WORLD IIIIS MY P L A YGROUND.

If you're so powerful, why are you a circus attraction?

the WOMAN'S flesh^{fleeesh^flesssh} is _WEAK. Lllike her mind.

[ She screams, said woman wrestling furiously. ]

How are you any less weak?

It sounds like you just take people over. Like a parasite.

[ JudgingYou.gif. ]

She is a parasite.

[ Oh, hello there, Marie. She is literally frothing with rage right now.]

[ It speaks! ]

Did the circus infect you with her?

I knew she was 'ere.

[Because someone definitely needed their paranoia vindicated.]

Anywhere she goes, she leaves 'er madness waiting.

[ Vindication of disaster is both a triumphant and terrible feeling. ]

What does she do to people?

...Is it even a 'she'?

D E S T ROY _them.

'Them' who?

a n y _and all of ^you iiinsects.

A parasite without hosts?

You wouldn't last very long.

Y O U knnnow no_{no_nothing.}

I know you're probably not a real goddess.

my DIVINITY ^haaaas been ea rn ed.

By contaminating someone else's mind?

[ Pffft. ]

[Li, you had best pray you aren't near any signal receiving devices of any kind right now. ~~Oh wait you have the network device in your hands.~~]

Iiii have RI--RISEN above my _programming. my M IIII ND is ^limitless.

[ The device rests on his workplace counter. Next to a tray of ready-to-be-iced cupcakes. ~~Should he fear for the cupcakes too?~~ ]

But you still need hosts.

Meaning you have little or no physical influence of your own.

[ He should fear the security alarm of his workplace suddenly going off for no reason. ]

[ GAH! Don't do that! ]

[ Maybe some sprinklers going off and dousing your customers and products. ]

[ YOU SUCK SHODAN! ]

[ ...brb. Gotta go save the uncovered pastries. ]

[ She's going to lock you out of your cash register while you're gone. Too bad your doors aren't automated, she really could have killed someone then. ]

[ Sob. Thank goodness he can short most systems out with a powersurge. ]

[ YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, PARASITIC NON-GODDESS! ]
