Automatically end each command in terminal with a different message or sound

I installed SVOX pico2wave and created a script.
Now when I enter:
speech "Hello world"
The computer text-to-voice engine says out loud "Hello world". Furthermore, I use in .bashrc the variable PROMPT_COMMAND defined as:
PROMPT_COMMAND="speech 'Command executed.'"
So the nice text-to-voice engine announces me loud that the command is executed, before returning the prompt in the terminal.
However, this gets boring after a while and I thought it would be really cool to end each command in terminal with the computer speaking a different line of text (think of the autopilot of Starship Enterprise).
So I created in .bashrc an array variable, with different messages:
array[0]="Shields at 90%"
array[1]="Engaging proton overdrive"
array[2]="Autopilot disengaged"
array[3]="Targetting solution available"
array[4]="Alert. Incoming missile."
array[5]="Deploying countermeasures."
array[6]="Firing torpedoes."
array[7]="Engaging auto-cannon."
array[8]="Severe damage on deck 17. Sealing off."
array[9]="Deploying repair droids to deck 17."
What I would like, is that each time I run a command in terminal, the variable PROMPT_COMMAND to be updated an read a different random line in the array.
I presume I need a loop, but I didn't know how to make it.
I would be most grateful for any help. Thank you.

"speech" is a script. I followed the instructions in the link. I made a script called speech.sh, including the corrections indicated above by Terrance". I saved speech.sh in my ~/scripts folder. I changed file permissions to speech.sh to make it executable. I created a folder as follows: ~/scripts/bin and followed the instructions from here stackoverflow.com/a/20054809, in order to add it to the PATH, so the script can be recognized as executable, no matter where I am.

Create a script and save it somewhere which contains your lines and the logic to choose a random line from your array and calling speech command on that line:
array[0]="Shields at 90%"
array[1]="Engaging proton overdrive"
array[2]="Autopilot disengaged"
array[3]="Targetting solution available"
array[4]="Alert. Incoming missile."
array[5]="Deploying countermeasures."
array[6]="Firing torpedoes."
array[7]="Engaging auto-cannon."
array[8]="Severe damage on deck 17. Sealing off."
array[9]="Deploying repair droids to deck 17."
line=$array[$RANDOM % $#array[@]]
speech "$line"
Then in your .bashrc or .profile set PROMPT_COMMAND:
PROMPT_COMMAND="bash $HOME/PATH/TO/myscript.sh"
Just replace the speech with echo to get a messge instead of the voice.

Thanks for the above solution. It seems to work, except that it only renders the first word in the random line (eg. "Shields." or "Deploying..") not the entire line (eg. "Shields at 90%" or "Deploying repair droids on dek 17."

Later Edit Tutorial:
Thanks to Ravexina's answer above, now the problem is solved and the solution works fantastically. I will give step-by-step instructions below, for the other people interested to make it work in Ubuntu 18.04
1. Install SVOX pico2wave package:
sudo apt-get install libttspico0 libttspico-utils libttspico-data libsox-fmt-mp3
2. Create the speech script
cd ~/scripts
gedit speech
and put this content inside, inserting the correct user in the path:
#!/bin/bash
pico2wave -l=en-US -w=/home/user/test.wav "$1"
aplay -q ~/test.wav
rm /home/user/test.wav
save and exit.
3. Create the shell_speech.sh script as indicated by Ravexina above:
gedit shell_speech
array[0]="Shields at 90%"
array[1]="Engaging proton overdrive"
array[2]="Autopilot disengaged"
array[3]="Targetting solution available"
array[4]="Alert. Incoming missile."
array[5]="Deploying countermeasures."
array[6]="Firing torpedoes."
array[7]="Engaging auto-cannon."
array[8]="Severe damage on deck 17. Sealing off."
array[9]="Deploying repair droids to deck 17."
line=$array[$RANDOM % $#array[@]]
speech "$line"
save and exit.
4. Make the scripts executable and add their directory to PATH so that they could be called from everywhere:
chmod u+x ~/scripts/bin/speech
chmod u+x ~/scripts/bin/shell_speech
export PATH=$PATH:~/scripts
5. Modify .bashrc
gedit ~/.bashrc
add the following line:
PROMPT_COMMAND="bash shell_speech"
save and close
Note: you can add as many new lines as you want in the array in ~/scripts/bin/shell_speech

Since you've made the script executable and in thePATH, you don't need to includebashin yourPROMPT_COMMANDand I would use single quotes in case you add other things later that will need to have deferred execution:PROMPT_COMMAND='shell_speech'

For security reasons it is better to write/bin/bashinstead of a simplebash... (good practice just in case someone put another bash in your path before/bin...). I should even suggest you a temp random file in the/tmpdirectory instead thattest.wavin your home... ps> give it a look to fortune.

Thanks to Ravexina's answer above, now the problem is solved and the solution works fantastically. I will give step-by-step instructions below, for the other people interested to make it work in Ubuntu 18.04
1. Install SVOX pico2wave package:
sudo apt-get install libttspico0 libttspico-utils libttspico-data libsox-fmt-mp3
2. Create the speech script
cd ~/scripts
gedit speech
and put this content inside, inserting the correct user in the path:
#!/bin/bash
pico2wave -l=en-US -w=/home/user/test.wav "$1"
aplay -q ~/test.wav
rm /home/user/test.wav
save and exit.
3. Create the shell_speech.sh script as indicated by Ravexina above:
gedit shell_speech
array[0]="Shields at 90%"
array[1]="Engaging proton overdrive"
array[2]="Autopilot disengaged"
array[3]="Targetting solution available"
array[4]="Alert. Incoming missile."
array[5]="Deploying countermeasures."
array[6]="Firing torpedoes."
array[7]="Engaging auto-cannon."
array[8]="Severe damage on deck 17. Sealing off."
array[9]="Deploying repair droids to deck 17."
line=$array[$RANDOM % $#array[@]]
speech "$line"
save and exit.
4. Make the scripts executable and add their directory to PATH so that they could be called from everywhere:
chmod u+x ~/scripts/bin/speech
chmod u+x ~/scripts/bin/shell_speech
export PATH=$PATH:~/scripts
5. Modify .bashrc
gedit ~/.bashrc
add the following line:
PROMPT_COMMAND="bash shell_speech"
save and close
Note: you can add as many new lines as you want in the array in ~/scripts/bin/shell_speech

Since you've made the script executable and in thePATH, you don't need to includebashin yourPROMPT_COMMANDand I would use single quotes in case you add other things later that will need to have deferred execution:PROMPT_COMMAND='shell_speech'

For security reasons it is better to write/bin/bashinstead of a simplebash... (good practice just in case someone put another bash in your path before/bin...). I should even suggest you a temp random file in the/tmpdirectory instead thattest.wavin your home... ps> give it a look to fortune.

"speech" is a script. I followed the instructions in the link. I made a script called speech.sh, including the corrections indicated above by Terrance". I saved speech.sh in my ~/scripts folder. I changed file permissions to speech.sh to make it executable. I created a folder as follows: ~/scripts/bin and followed the instructions from here stackoverflow.com/a/20054809, in order to add it to the PATH, so the script can be recognized as executable, no matter where I am.
