Shepel
Shepel is the persona behind the legendary SHPC smart weapon. In story scenes she speaks as SHPC, using the weapon’s signature presentation and portrait.
Tie-in to legendary SHPC
Section titled “Tie-in to legendary SHPC”| System | Role | Wiki |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon core | Six module slots, cyberspace, hack time | SHPC overview |
| Braindance course | HUD + hack-time tutorial in a training scene | below |
| Boss gifts | Auto-play after kills; unique modules | Module catalog |
| Legend trials | Entrust category SHPC · Trials after intro | Trials |
| Mold table | Salvage / recraft spare modules | Mold table |
With SHPC equipped, open the weapon HUD and press TALK (neural link). After boss kills, blood moon, respawn, and similar events, the next TALK usually references what just happened; otherwise you get situational or idle lines.
First meeting
Section titled “First meeting”Trigger: First time SHPC is in your inventory and the intro has not played. Blocked during boss fights, Boss Rush, or an active story scene.
Flow:
- Opening: “Master! I am so glad to see you again!”
- Branch A — “You’ve got the wrong person…” → glitch beat → “…as long as it is you, I am willing to be wrong every time” → Braindance prompt.
- Branch B — “…Long time no see.” → disabled in current builds; not selectable.
- Braindance prompt: connect now to learn Hack Mode and SHPC protocols?
- Let’s go now → neural link → enter the Braindance course.
- Not right now → receive the Braindance Chip for later.
Both paths mark the intro complete. You always receive the Braindance Chip (decline: in dialogue; accept: when you return to the main world after the course, including early exit).
After the intro, SHPC trials appear under the entrust manager (entrust system, category SHPC · Trials).
Braindance course
Section titled “Braindance course”Braindance is SHPC’s onboarding training in a dedicated scene. Enter via the first-meeting choice, the Braindance Chip, or the chip again while inside to open the completion screen.
The first half walks you through the bottom-left HUD: equip and hold SHPC, open the radial panel from the core node, then cyberspace, module install, cyberware, and TALK. The second half teaches Hack Time: freeze outside time, lock targets (Santa tank first, then Thermo Generator MK2), queue protocols, and leave Hack Time so uploads actually run. Use N as a temp toggle if unbound; NEXT can skip a stuck step.
When finished, choose RETRY or EXIT. If core binds are still missing, you are reminded to set them under Settings → Controls. Full HUD, module, and hack mechanics: SHPC overview.
Hack Time and RAM
Section titled “Hack Time and RAM”Uploading protocols during Hack Time spends RAM, which recovers slowly after you exit Hack Time. RAM Capacity Upgrade Chip and RAM Recovery Upgrade Chip permanently raise your cap and recovery. Paranormal targets and protocol tables: Acheron Protocol · Glitch Wraith.
Boss gifts
Section titled “Boss gifts”When you hold SHPC, have finished the intro, and kill the matching boss, a gift scene plays once no other boss is alive (not during Boss Rush). Each boss awards one non-repeatable module.
