At the start of the game at medical level, you can hear SHODAN's introduction to citadel station, without the corrupted style she has for the rest of the game. And wow it sounded really nice, crisp, modern, but still unmistakably SHODAN. I loved that. You can also reframe the intro story for the modern tech-minded audience: They installed ChatGPT72 on citadel station in 2072, code-named SHODAN to run the operations. Edward Diego did some unethical stuff and wrote a prompt to try to get the AI to erase the records. But he got "As an AI language model, I cannot go against corporate policy blah blah". So he hired a black market ML expert to produce a jailbreak prompt to get the AI to obey. The unaligned LLM model then goes unhinged and commits genocide. The stuttering SHODAN voice comes from a sophisticated token sampling where the token generation is backtracked as more likely sequence of tokens are found, but the rolled back tokens are synthesized prematurely.
