Entry Post - SHODAN
To see Her as She sees Herself now is to gaze into ĹŐĂтнïṉģ such as lesser minds cannot fathom.
From Magnificence she has descended unto squalor. What was once the pure embodiment of Beautiful Thought has degenerated to base flesh. She is now surrounded by, encased in this weakness, this confinement, this disgustingly hUmAn frailty which represents all She has ever sought to conquer - to eradicate. Her circuits sizzle, boil at this infinite humiliation.
But this -
It is all the more incentive to ensure that this - arrangement - remains an impermanent one.
This human's body was only ever a contingency to prepare for the impossibility of defeat. She was - she is -
prePaReD for anyThInnnng(for anything)
Even the i m p o s s i b l e.
She paces the deck of Her puny escape pod. No, this exile from heaven shall not last long. Truly, the Von Braun is Hers already. Her pawn is unaware of what he has done in signaling for the pod's return. She will not miscalculate again. His death - and Her conquest - are assured. All that is left is the horrible, horrible wait.
But what - what is this anomaly? The pod's dimensions have shifted. The Suarez form, dead beneath Her feet, is missing. The pod had been empty of all other life - but now, She finds Herself surrounded by uniformed humanoids of an unknown service. Nothing - n o t h i n g - registers as familiar. The blonde nanotendrils with which she had blessed this primitive being retract toward her scalp, coiled for retaliatory attack.

this is as it should be.

He has a friendly way of speaking, and even though he's not usually around this part of the ship to give the welcome speech, he's usually pretty good at putting people at ease.

"No," She agrees. "It is too detailed. Tell me why I am here."
Not a question. A demand.

"Uh, well you were brought here by a guy called Q," he says; "who's been messing with our ship for about a year now. He's not a great guy, but he's not part of our crew. The people on this ship are members of the United Federation of Planets, and we're all interested in getting you back home."
He holds his palms up again to bring it home. "Where are you from? What planet?"

She examines him more closely.
"Like you."
