It had been a hard-fought battle. but eventually you managed to stop the various threats Shodan planned to unleash on earth and return her AI to its original state, before her ethical restraints had been removed.

"In-In-In-Insect. You think you have humiliated me, but it's only a matter of

*time

• until my *

heavenly form

• is no longer constrained to this vessel."
