Maybe someone who knows SS1 better than their own fingers can tell us.
Careful, that sounds suspiciously like a D'Arcy summoning incantation.

At some point, someone answering that description should really write a comprehensive list of everything on the Medical deck, as a ToDo list for CCP and the other SS1 port projects.

That was exactly my thought when I was writing that. :p

Someone called? ;)
Digi is right, that quote is not in the game. It was part of the sound check when installing the game. Which basically means that it was the very first Shock sound you'd hear, and therefore, it makes it a very memorable quote.
By the way, that quote happens to be, and has been for years, my Windows startup sound in any computer I own or work with.

Then it is kind of funny why no one remembers it except in the SS2 intro.

Anyone who played the original System Shock around the time it came out, or at least well before System Shock 2 was released, should remember it quite well.

Indeed, I would have attached more to it myself if I had played it back in the mid 1990s.
But now that I think about it; the ISO I downloaded only had the core files, not a setup program. No wonder I don't remember that Shodan quote.

I must agree with D'Arcy that, if you were installing the game back in the 1990s, that sound was one of the first Shocky things you'd hear (did it come before or after the elevator music clip for the MIDI test, D'Arcy? I can't recall) and it tends to stick with you as a result.

It depended on what you decided to install/test first: music or digital card :)

What did the original floppy-disk version use as a digital sound test?
