Imagine that you woke in the night and rose and seemed to see before yourself another person, who you slowly perceived to be yourself. |
Someone had entered in the night and placed in your sleeping place, made from black metal. You had been afraid of your own reflection. |
But then, the reflection slowly raised its hand while your own lay still. A Dark Mirror, that is what the Corinthian has always been intended to be.

|
I find it kinda funny —Tears for Fears, Mad World
|
For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men. |
Jump in the toilet and stand on your head —Philip K. Dick, Ubik
|
I don't remember anything. Maybe they really just fixed me...Or maybe I'm just a high-tech VI that thinks it's Commander Shepard.
—Commander Shepard, Mass Effect 3
