A nameless hacker — is caught attempting to remotely access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation.
The hacker is taken to Citadel Station and brought before Edward Diego, a TriOptimum executive. Diego offers to drop all charges against the hacker in exchange for a confidential hacking of SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. To entice cooperation, Diego promises the hacker a valuable military grade neural implant.
After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI's ethical constraints, and handing control over to Diego, the protagonist undergoes a surgery that fits him with the promised neural interface.
Following the operation, the hacker is put into a six-month controlled healing coma. The game begins as the protagonist awakens from his coma, finding that SHODAN has commandeered the station.

shuacsays...I used to play this game with one of those ubergeeky VFX1 headsets from Forte. It was incredibly goofy-looking but it worked pretty well. When you tilted your head down, you saw the Citadel station floor. If you panned right, you looked right. It was an amazing way to play this game. That was back in 1995 so I can only imagine they've come out with something better.
