This morning Gunther was killed by one of the mutants. I have no time to dwell on the death of my husband, unless I want soon to join him. I think I understand now what SHODAN is doing. After destroying a bank of security cameras, the elevators almost came back on line. Somehow Shodan must combine power from the CPU nodes with a constant input stream in order to maintain control over the station's systems. If I can diminish the fiend's "presence" here, I believe I can restore manual controls to the hospital level. Gunther, I'll stop him, I swear.

Destroying CPU nodes and cameras reduces SHODAN's awareness of our actions. This restores human control.

Gunther was killed today. I can't let myself think about it. I think I understand how SHODAN is doing it. When we destroy the cameras and CPU nodes, SHODAN loses some of its control over the station functions, at least on this level. I think I can restore manual control on the hospital.
