Episode 12: The Worth of a Miracle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Touji: Thanks for letting us get out of the rain, Shinji.

Kensuke: How's Misato-san?

Shinji: She's probably asleep. She's been working all-night shifts lately.

Touji: Well, her work is very tiring.

Kensuke: Be quiet, so we don't wake her up...

Kensuke & Touji: Shhh...

Asuka: Hey, *boys*, what are you doing?

Shinji: Taking cover from the rain.

Asuka: Hmm, you're staring at me, aren't you? I'm going to change

clothes--if you peep, I'll kill you.

Touji: Shut up! you idiot! Who wants to see you change(ing) clothes!

Kensuke : Her self-consciousness is super excessive.

Touji: Um?

Kensuke: Oh!

Touji: I--

Kensuke: Hi. We've been here for a while.

Misato: Ah, it's you two. Welcome.

Misato: Welcome home, Shinji. Don't be late for the harmonics test

tonight.

Shinji: Okay.

Misato: Asuka, you'll also remember?

Asuka: Fine.

Kensuke: Oh!

Kensuke: Oh, congratulations on your promotion.

Touji: Co-- congratulations!

Misato: Thank you very much.

Kensuke: You're welcome!

Misato: Well, I'll be leaving now.

Kensuke & Touji: See you later.

Kensuke: Misato-san's signature--the number of lines increased to two. That

suggests a promotion from Captain to Major.

Asuka: Oh, I didn't notice.

Shinji: I wonder when...

Touji: Really? What a dull boy.

Kensuke: Ohhh! Don't you have any sense of sympathy? It's not exactly easy

taking care of two high school students at her age.

Touji : It's only us that have the human mind with sympathy.

--------------

Maya: Numbers Zero and Two within contamination zone--that's the limit.

Ritsuko: Number One still has leeway. Try to increase plug depth by 0.3.

Maya: He's reaching the edge of the contamination zone.

Ritsuko: And he's still reading this? That's great.

Maya: His harmonics and synchronization ratios are approaching Asuka's.

Ritsuko : It's a natural gift, isn't it?

Operator: He's a kid just born to ride Eva.

Operator: It certainly seems that to ride Eva was the reason the kid was

born, doesn't it?

Misato: Even though he never wishes to. Maybe he's not glad of it.

Ritsuko: All tests have been completed.

Ritsuko: Shinji-kun, you did well.

Shinji: What do you mean?

Ritsuko: You made eight point of progress. They were great readings.

Asuka: But his harmonics are still 50 points lower than mine.

Ritsuko: Ah, it's an eight-point gain over ten days. That's wonderful.

Asuka: It's not wonderful!

Asuka: So, it was *good*! My, you actually received a word of praise...

Shinji: Umm...

Asuka: I'm going home first, idiot.

Shinji: Oh.

--------------------

Shinji: Congratulations on your promotion.

Misato: Thanks.

Misato: But, to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly overjoyed.

Shinji: I can sympathize with that.

Shinji: Being praised back then didn't make me happy, either.

Shinji: Strangely, it only made Asuka angry.

Shinji: Why did she get angry?

Misato: And you care about that?

Shinji: Yeah.

Misato: That's because you're always watching other's faces.

--------------

Text: Congratulations for the promotion!

Text: Celebration Hall

Text: Reserved.

--------------

Kensuke & Touji & Hikari : Congratulations!

Misato: Thank you. Thank you, Suzuhara-kun.

Touji: No, no! This is the guy who planned all this.

Kensuke: Yeah, the planning and scheduling was done by Aida Kensuke,

this Aida Kensuke!

Misato: Thank you, Aida-kun.

Kensuke: You're welcome, though I did nothing worth your gratitude.

It just came naturally.

Touji: Anyway, why's the Class Rep here?

Asuka: I invited her.

Asuka & Hikari: Ne~ (Yeah!)

Misato: Is Rei...?

Asuka: I did invite her, but she's a difficult girl to be with.

Asuka: Oh, Kaji-san hasn't arrived yet.

Hikari: He's that cool guy? Kaji-san...?

Asuka: Yeah, against these potatoe heaps, it's like comparing the moon

to soft-shelled turtles.

Touji: What was that?!

Misato: It's still difficult? This kind of situation?

Shinji: I'm not that used to being around many people.

Shinji: Why do we have to make all this fuss?

Shinji: Your promotion suggests that people appreciate you, doesn't it?

Misato: Well, maybe.

Shinji: That's why they're happy... But you don't look happy.

Misato: Oh, it's not that I'm completely unhappy. I *am* slightly pleased.

Misato: However, it's not why I'm here.

Shinji: Then why did you join Nerv?

Misato: Well, I don't really remember why anymore--it's been far too long.

Asuka: That must be Kaji-san. No doubt! Oh!

Ryouji: I came directly from Headquarters. I met her on the way.

Asuka & Misato: Suspicious...

Ritsuko: Jealous?

Misato: Absolutely not!

Ryouji: Anyway, congratulations, Major Katsuragi!

Ryouji: Seems from now on I'm going to have to be polite to you.

Ryouji: Seems from now on I'm gonna have to address you as a superior...

Misato: What are you talking about? Idiot!

Ryouji: Well, it's unprecedented that both the commander and

vice-commander are out of Japan.

Ryouji: That's how much they rely on Katsuragi.

Shinji: My father is out of the country?

Ritsuko: Commander Ikari is on the South Pole at the moment.

--------------

In Antarctica.

Kouzou: There's no allowance for the existence of living things in this

world of death called Antarctica.

Kouzou: Maybe we should just call it "Hell".

Gendou: Nevertheless, we human beings are standing here, existing as

living things.

Kouzou: Because we're protected by the power of science.

Gendou: Science is human power.

Kouzou: It's that arrogance that caused the tragedy 15 years ago, the

Second Impact. This scene is the result. It's too harsh a

punishment for us, though, considering the crime. This is just

like the Dead Sea!

Gendou: And yet this is a purified world, a world lacking the impurity

of the original sin.

Kouzou: I hope for a world where people can live, no matter how steeped

in sin.

---------------

Operator: Situation report from Nerv headquarters, sir.

Operator: An Angel has been discovered in orbit above the Indian Ocean.

---------------

Makoto: The Angel abruptly appeared two minutes ago.

Operator(female): Approaching the orbit of the sixth reconnaissance satellite.

Operator(male): Two minutes until contact.

Shigeru: Target in sight.

Shigeru: Ohh...

Makoto: I can't believe my eyes... it's crazy!

Shigeru: Sixth satellite moving to near contact with the target.

Shigeru: Contact with target.

Operator(female): Begin scan.

Operator(male): Starting data transmission.

-------------

Misato: AT-field?

Ritsuko: A new usage, I think.

Maya: It even uses the energy gained due to the fall from orbit.

The Angel itself is akin to a bomb.

Ritsuko: Currently, the first shot impacted the Pacific Ocean, far

off target. The second shot hit this point. After that, it has

been steadily correcting its errors.

Misato: That means it's learning.

Makoto : N2 bombing does not work.

Shigeru: After that, the Angel went out of range.

Misato: Maybe it's coming.

Ritsuko: Perhaps next time it itself will fall.

Misato: That would create a third Lake Asinoko.

Ritsuko: The Five Lakes of Fuji would become one and be linked to the

Pacific Ocean, destroying Headquarters.

Misato: Commander Ikari's status?

Shigeru: Contact is impossible due to the Angel's intense jamming.

Misato: What does Magi suggest?

Maya: They unanimously recommend evacuation.

Ritsuko: What do you want to do? You are the only available command officer.

Misato: Connect to the appropriate Japanese ministries--special declaration

D17 under Nerv's authority. Evacuation of all citizens within a

50 kilometre radius. Request the backup of Magi to Matsushiro.

Makoto: We're abandoning all this?

Misato: No, but it's not necessary to risk all of us.

-------------

Announcer(male): Special declaration D17 has been announced by the government.

All citizens, take shelter in the designated areas immediately.

Announcer(female): The sixth and seventh blocks have priority, immediately

proceed according to the instructions ordered by the ward's chief.

Announcer(male): All civilians have taken refuge.

Announcer(female): The evacuation of noncombatant and Class D personnel

signalled by the Alarm C has been completed.

--------------------

Ritsuko: You're going to do it? You're serious?

Misato: Yes, I am.

Ritsuko: You're going to abandon three Evas on your own selfish accord?

The probability of winning is only 0.00001 percent. That's smaller

than one in ten thousand.

Misato: It's not zero. I only bet on Eva.

Ritsuko: Major Katsuragi!

Misato: I am the commanding officer here and I will do everything that I must

do. My job is to annihilate Angels.

Ritsuko: Your job?! That's a joke! This is for your own sake--it's your

revenge against the Angels!

--------------

Eyecatches

Eng. title: "She said, 'Don't make others suffer for your personal hatred.'"

--------------

Asuka: Wooow, catch it by hand?

Misato: Yes! Arrange the Evas at the estimated point of impact, and

directly catch it with AT-fields at full.

Intercept is the word that would be used (and it even means catch/receive).

Shinji: And if the Angel goes considerably off course?

Misato: Then it's over.

Asuka: And if the Units cannot withstand the shock?

Misato: Then it's also over.

Shinji: The odds of winning are?

Misato: I have no idea. Only God knows.

Asuka: If we're successful, it'll be a miracle!

Misato: It's not until we cause a miracle that the miracle is valuable.

Asuka: In other words, you're saying that we've gotta somehow manage to

do this.

Misato: Sorry, but there's no other way. This operation is--

Asuka: You're saying this an official operation? Is it?

Misato: No, I cannot say that. If you're not willing, you can refuse.

Misato: Are you okay with this?

Misato : Officially you are required to write an official note to prepare

for your death. Do you write that?

Asuka: No. I ain't gonna die.

Rei: Neither do I. No need.

Shinji: Neither do I.

Misato: I feel sorry for you. When the operation is over, I'll treat

you to a steak.

Asuka: Oh, really?

Misato: I promise.

Shinji: Waai!

Asuka: Don't forget!

Misato: You can look forward to it.

---------------

Shinji: Steak means a delicious dinner!

Asuka: Does she really think that children these days would be so glad at

a steak dinner?

Asuka: How poor the people in the generation of the Second Impact are...

Shinji : No way for them.

Asuka: Hey! What was with the "waaai!"? I know you were only pretending to be

happy.

Shinji: It's better if she can command us without having to worry.

Asuka: Anyway, she is going to treat us.

Where should we go?

You must come!

Rei: I won't.

Shinji: How come?

Rei: I don't like meat.

---------------

Maya: Target lost from sensors due to Angel's ECM.

Misato: Although it's now impossible to calculate precisely, this is the

collision point estimated by Maji from data obtained just before

we lost the target.

Asuka: The range is this wide?

Shinji: That's a long distance to the end.

Ritsuko: With its AT-field, the target can annihilate Headquarters

completely, wherever it impacts within this range.

Misato: Under these conditions, we'll place an Eva unit at each of these

three points.

Rei: What is this arrangement based on?

Misato: My intuition.

Asuka & Shinji: Intuition?!

Misato: Sure. Female intuition.

Asuka: How crude! I feel the miracle getting further and further away.

Shinji : Misato-san never hit the lot.

Asuka: Ah, nooo...

-------------

Shinji: Hey!

Asuka: What?

Shinji: Asuka, why are you in Eva?

Asuka: Obviously, it's 'cause I wanna show the world my talent.

Shinji: To show your existence?

Asuka: Maybe something kinda like that.

*here, she asks "why don't you ask the same question to REI at the moment?"

Asuka: Aren't you gonna ask Rei that?

Shinji: I've asked Ayanami before.

Asuka: Hmm, such a *good* friendship...

Shinji: It doesn't mean that.

Asuka: What about you, Shinji?

Shinji: I've no idea.

Asuka: No idea? You must be a fool.

Shinji: Maybe.

Asuka: You really are a fool.

Maya: 120 minutes until the estimated time of collision.

-------------

Misato: You take shelter. It'll be enough if I'm here.

Shigeru: No. This is my job as well.

Makoto: I can't leave only the children in danger.

Misato: They'll be fine. No matter how badly the Evas are damaged, the

AT-field will save them. It's actually safest inside Eva.

-------------------------

Misato: Shinji-kun, you asked yesterday why I joined Nerv.

Misato: My father buried himself in his research... his only dream.

Misato: I couldn't forgive him. Or, rather, I hated him.

Shinji: Just like my father.

Misato: He never took care of me, my mother or our family. People said

that he was delicate, but really he was only weak, always trying

to escape reality, our family. He was just like a little kid.

Misato: Since she had always been unhappy, I agreed with my mother when she

divorced my father. My father seemed to have been shocked by this,

and I just grinned at a man who was suffering the consequences of

his own actions.

Misato: Then he sacrificed his life for mine, dying in the Second Impact,

and then I couldn't tell if I loved him or hated him.

Misato: The one thing that was clear was that I had to defeat the Angels

that had caused the Second Impact and, to do that, I joined Nerv.

Misato: It might be that I was trying to avenge my father, so that I can

be free of his spell.

Shinji: Don't run away! Don't run away! Don't run away!

Shinji: So don't run away...

--------------

Shigeru: Telescopes have comfirmed the target at maximum visual range.

Makoto: Distance approximately 25,000.

Misato: The enemy draws nigh! All Eva Units to starting positions!

--------------

Misato: The target's calculated trajectory is based solely on visual

observation. Magi will instruct you until the range is 1000,

after which you're on your own. I trust you all.

Shigeru: Angel approaching. Distance approximately 20,000.

Misato: Start the operation.

--------------

Shinji: Here we go!

Shinji: Start!

--------------

Shigeru : Distance 12,000.

--------------

Shinji: Field to full power!

Shinji: Uhh.

Rei: Unit Two, increase Field to full power.

Asuka: Increasing!

Shinji: Right now!

Auska: This...!!

--------------

Asuka: Huuum.

Shigeru: Wireless system restored--connection requested from Commander

Ikari in Antarctica.

Misato: Quickly, connect him, please.

Shigeru: Yes, sir.

Misato: I am extremely sorry. Unit One was damaged solely through selfish

judgements on my part. I take full responsibility for everything.

Kouzou: I don't care. The annihilation of Angels is Eva's mission. It was

fortunate there was relatively little damage.

Gendou: Yes. You've done it, Major Katsuragi.

Misato: Thank you, sir.

Gendou: By the way, is the pilot of Unit One there?

Shinji: Yes.

Gendou: I've heard the story. You did it, Shinji.

Shinji: Eh? Yes.

Gendou: Then, Major Katsuragi, I shall let you handle the aftermath.

Misato: Yes, sir.

--------------

Announce: Next station is Shin-Miyanoshita, Shin-Miyanoshita. Exit on the

left side at the next station.

Asuka : You've gotta keep your promise.

Misato: All right. I withdrew several large bills so I can still pay for

the full-course dinner, even though it's a bit before payday.

--------------

Paper lantern of a Chinese noodle stand.

--------------

Asuka: I know what you've got in your wallet. Don't worry.

Asuka: The honour student said she'd come with us for Chinese noodles.

Rei: I'd like garlic noodles without ChaShu. (Chinese grilled pork)

Asuka: Gimme a shark fin and a large order of baked pork.

Proprietor: Here you go--the shark fin with baked pork.

Shinji: Hey, Misato-san.

Misato: What?

Shinji: When I heard my father's words, I found that for the first time I

was glad to be praised.

Shinji: And I also found that... that I pilot Eva just to hear my father say

those words.

Asuka: That's why you're a pilot?

Asuka: Truly idiotic!

EVANGELION Episode 13

* Computer Room like place

* Ritsuko, Keyboarding sound

Female Operator: Apotheosis Operation of the three EVA units will be done as

scheduled when the MAGI system resumes its operation.

Male Operator: Operation confirmed. Abbreviate 450 to 670.

Makoto(Glasses): Command center has consented.

Ritsuko: You're quick. Then again, you are Maya.

Maya: Of course. You were the one who directly taught me.

Ritsuko: Oh, wait. A8 would be faster there. Let me see.

Maya: After all, she taught me.

* Misato coming up in an elevator

Misato: How's it going? Is MAGI's check-up finished?

Ritsuko: Almost done. As promised, I completed it by today's test.

Misato: You're great, Ritsuko. You have three of those same hard-to-take-

care-of things, and still make it on time.

Ritsuko: That one is cold.

Misato: Ugha!

-------------------------------

* Control Center. MAGI on the screen.

Male Operator: All three MAGI systems are now in self-diagnostics mode.

Maya: 127th periodic check-up, all clear.

Ritsuko: Understood. Well done, and take a break until the test.

------------------------------

* Ladies' Room. Ritsuko washing her face.

Ritsuko: All clear... Today, as ever, my mother is just fine, but...

am I only aging?

------------------------------

Angel's I

------------------------------

* An elevator ascends the huge vertical hole

Asuka: What? Strip again?

Ritsuko: From here on in lies the ultra-clean room. Just showering and

changing your undies are not enough.

Asuka: Why do I gotta go thorough all these things just for the

auto-piloting test?

Ritsuko: Not only does time progress, but the technology of EVA as well.

We always need new data.

Asuka: What?

------------------

* Door Opens. All three pilots are naked.

Asuka: There, I'm just as you wanted--washed and cleansed seventeen times.

Ritsuko: Now, all three of you, staying as you are now, go through this

room and board the entry plug.

Asuka: WHAT?!

Ritsuko: Don't worry--the video monitors are turned off. Your privacy

is protected.

Asuka: That ain't the point. It's about how I feel.

Ritsuko: The point of this test is to read the harmonics directly from the

body, without the assistance of the plug suit.

Misato: Asuka, this is an order.

Asuka: Fine! Just do NOT watch, okay?

---------------------------------------

Male Operator: All pilots prepared for entry.

Ritsuko: Begin the test.

* EVA's simulation bodies are floating in the water.

Male Operator: Start testing. Start memorizing auto-piloting.

Male Operator: Inserting simulation plug.

Female Operator: Connecting systems with simulation bodies.

Female Operator: Simulation plug is now under control of MAGI.

Misato: It's so fast. MAGI... Oh, great MAGI. I simply can't believe it took

a week for the first test.

Male Operator: According to the schedule, this test should end in three hours.

Ritsuko: How are you feeling?

Rei: Something is different.

Shinji: Yes. Something is different from the other times.

Asuka: Something's wrong with my senses. Only the right arm is clear, and

the rest is dim.

Ritsuko: Rei, imagine movement in the right arm.

Rei: Yes.

Male Operator: Data collection going well.

Ritsuko: There does not appear to be any problems. Return MAGI to normal.

Misato: Dilemma...

Ritsuko: The personality of their creator can be guessed.

Misato: What are you talking about? Didn't you make them?

Ritsuko: You do not know anything, do you?

Misato: That's because, unlike me, you're not exactly talkative about

yourself.

Ritsuko: Well, I just did the system-up. My mother designed the basic

theory as well as the body.

---------------------------------------

Fuyutsuki: Have you double checked this?

Shigeru: Yes, sir. They're the parts which were brought in three days ago.

Long Hair: They must be the parts where changes were found.

Fuyutsuki: The 87th protein wall...

Long Hair: When enlarged, some spots can be seen. What are they?

Glasses: Must be corrosion. There are small changes in the temperature and

conductivity. Deterioration of a sterilized room often happens,

and more often as of late.

Long Hair: The construction schedule was shortened by 60 days or so, so the

air bubbles must have gotten in then. There are a lot of holes in

the quality of the construction work in B Wing.

Fuyutsuki: That part was done after the Angels appeared, right?

Glasses: We can't really blame them. Everyone is tired.

Fuyutsuki: Take care of it by tomorrow. Ikari will be exasperated by it

otherwise.

------------------------------------------------

Ritsuko: Is the water leaking again?

Maya: No, sir. It's the corrosion in the walls above here.

Ritsuko: Great. Will it pose any trouble on the test?

Maya: So far, no, it will not.

Ritsuko: Then continue. This test cannot be easily aborted. Commander Ikari

will be annoyed with us, as well.

Maya: Understood. Synchronized position is normal.

Male Operator: Connecting the entry plug to EVA units through the simulation

bodies.

Male Operator: Contact confirmed.

Female Operator: AT-Fields are generated on 3 Jogt.

------------------------------------------

* The spots on the wall start growing. Emergency sirens go off.

Ritsuko: What happened?

Female Operator: Contamination alert in the Sigma Unit, A Floor.

Male Operator: 87th wall is deteriorating, releasing heat.

Male Operator: Abnormality found in the 6th pipe, also.

Maya: Corrosion of the protein wall is spreading. The speed is

explosive.

Ritsuko: Abort the test. Shut down the 6th pipe.

Maya: Understood.

Male Operator: 60, 38, 39, all were shut down.

Male Operator: Corrosion found on 6-42.

Maya: No effect. The corrosion is spreading along the walls.

Ritsuko: Prepare polysomes...

Ritsuko: Laser at the maximum. Fire at the invasion.

Maya: The corrosion has reached 6-58. It's coming!

* (Angel's voice)

Rei: No!

Ritsuko: Rei!

Maya: Rei's simulation body is moving!

Ritsuko: Impossible.

Maya: Corrosion still spreading. It's invading the active water system of

the simulation bodies.

Misato: How's Rei?

Maya: She's all right.

Ritsuko: Eject all plugs now. Hurry the laser.

Misato: AT-Field!

Ritsuko: No way.

Misato: What's... this?

Ritsuko: Analysis of pattern: blue. It's an Angel, no question.

Fuyutsuki: An Angel? You let an Angel get inside?

Ritsuko: Sorry, sir.

Fuyutsuki: No excuse needed. Close the Central Dogma. Separate it from

Sigma Unit.

Male Operator: Central Dogma, closed down physically. Separating it from

Sigma Unit.

Misato: Abandon this Box. Evacuate.

* Operators running.

Misato: What are you doing? Hurry!

* Misato pulls Ritsuko along with her.

Female Operator: Separating Sigma Unit from B Floor. All partitions closing.

Everyone within the area is to evacuate.

Gendou: I know. Please take care of it.

* Gendou hangs up the phone

Gendou: Stop the alert.

Long Hair: S-- stopping the alert, sir.

Gendou: It was a mistake. An error in the detector. Tell the Japanese

government and the Committee so.

Long Hair: Y-- yes, sir.

Glasses: The contaminated area is still descending.

Fuyutsuki: It is on the critical place.

Gendou: Yes. It is too close to ADAM.

Gendou: Contain the corrosion around the Sigma unit. You may sacrifice the

Geo-Front. Status of EVA?

Glasses: Waiting at the 7th cage. They can go as soon as the pilots are

retrieved.

Gendou: No need to wait for the pilots. Just launch them to the surface

as soon as the preparations are complete.

Long Hair & Glasses: What?!

Gendou: Unit-01 has priority. You may abandon the rest.

Glasses: Unit-01, sir?

Long Hair: But sir, without EVA we cannot physically destroy the Angel.

Gendou: If EVA gets contaminated, we are completely finished. Hurry!

Long Hair & Glasses: Y-- yes, sir.

Female Operator: Central Dogma under Sigma Unit will be completely

sealed off in 60 seconds. 30 seconds until the activation of

the vacuum pump.

-----------------------------------------------

Ryouji: So, that is the Angel. Can't do the work anymore. Ha.

----------------------------------------------

Female Operator: Central Dogma totally sealed. Mega-depth facilities

are now wholly occupied by the invader.

Fuyutsuki: Now, how will we mount an offensive against the Angels

without EVA?

EPISODE:13

LILLIPUTIAN HITCHER

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ritsuko: Look. Here is the boundary of the heavy water, where more oxygen

exists.

Maya: Its preference is pretty clear.

Long Hair: The place where ozone is vented in to maintain the sterilized

conditions is not contaminated.

Misato: So, does that mean its weakness is oxygen?

Ritsuko: It seems so.

Glasses: Injecting ozone. Concentration increasing.

Long Hair: It's working, all right.

Fuyutsuki: Can we make it?

Maya: 0A and 0B seem to be recovering.

Long Hair: The area near the pipe is back to the normal.

Glasses: As expected, the central parts are more difficult.

Fuyutsuki: Okay, increase the ozone.

Ritsuko: Something is wrong.

Long Hair: What? It's increasing.

Glasses: Something is wrong. Heat release is increasing.

Long Hair: Contaminated area is again increasing.

Maya: All effects of the ozone have been lost.

Glasses: Now it's absorbing the ozone.

Ritsuko: Stop the ozone flow.

Ritsuko: Incredible. It is evolving.

Misato: What's wrong?

Long Hair: The Sub-computer is being hacked. Hacker is unidentified.

Glasses: Not now. Dealing with C mode.

Long Hair: Unfreezing the barrier. Decoy entry opened.

Male Operator: Decoy entry avoided.

Male Operator: 18 seconds 'til trace completed.

Male Operator: Opening the barrier.

Male Operator: Barrier broken.

Male Operator: Accessing another decoy entry.

Glasses: A human being could not do this.

Male Operator: Trace successful. Hacker is within this facility.

Long Hair: Under the B-Wing. It's Pribnow Box!

Maya: The optical pattern is changing.

Long Hair: The growing lines are the electrical circuits. It's a computer

itself...

Glasses: Opening decoy entry... Unsuccessful. There was interference.

Misato: Sever the Main Cable.

Male Operator: Negative. It refuses to accept the order.

Misato: Fire the laser.

Maya: AT-Field generated. No effect.

Long Hair: It's accessing to the Security Mainbank. It's cracking

the password. 12th digit, 16th digit. D word cleared.

Fuyutsuki: God!

Glasses: It's reading the Mainbank. Impossible to clear.

Fuyutsuki: What does it want?

Long Hair: It's searching the Mainbank. This code is... No! It wants to

invade MAGI!

Gendou: Shut down the I/O system.

Long Hair: Count down, please.

Glasses: 3, 2, 1...

Glasses and Long Hair: Argh!

Glasses: It can't be turned off!

Maya: Angel is invading further. Contacting Melchior.

It's about to take control...

Melchior has been reprogrammed by the Angel.

Voice: Self-destruction suggested by AI Melchior. Rejection, rejection,

rejection.

Long Hair: Now Melchior is hacking Balthazar.

Glasses: Damn! It's so fast!

Long Hair: What calculation speed!

Ritsuko: (taking a breath) Change the login mode. Tune synchro-code to every

fifteen minutes.

Glasses and Long Hair: Roger.

Fuyutsuki: How long do we have?

Long Hair: Judging from observations, about 2 hours.

Gendou: MAGI... against us.

---------------------------------------

* Command Center. No one is there. The visual of Angel is on

Ritsuko: They are nano-machines, Angels the size of virii. Each of them

gather to form a colony, and in a short time, they exponentially

evolve, sufficient to form an intelligence circuit.

Fuyutsuki: Evolution...

Ritsuko: Yes, sir. They constantly evolve themselves, seeking the best way

to cope with situations.

Fuyutsuki: It is the system for survival of the life form itself.

Misato: The only effective means of fighting a subject which constantly

evolves and overcoming its weakness is take it with us. The only

option is to order MAGI to commit suicide and have it die with

MAGI. I suggest the physical elimination of MAGI.

Ritsuko: Impossible. Aborting MAGI means abandoning Headquarters.

Misato: Then, for the strategy section, I formally request it.

Ritsuko: I reject it. This is a matter for the engineering section.

Misato: Why are you acting like a mule?!

Ritsuko: This situation started because of my mistake.

Misato: You've always been like that, keeping everything to yourself and never

depending on the others.

Ritsuko: As long as the Angels keep evolving, we still have a chance.

Gendou: Promotion of the evolution?

Ritsuko: Yes, sir.

Gendou: The end of the evolution is self-destruction. It is death itself.

Fuyutsuki: Then, what we should do is promote evolution.

Ritsuko: If the Angels consider it their only effective means of the

survival, they may choose the co-existence with MAGI.

Glasses: But how?

Ritsuko: If the target is the computer itself, we can reverse hack by directly

connecting Casper and the Angels and, by doing so, a self-destruct

promotion code can be uploaded. However...

Maya: At the same time, we are opening the barrier to the Angels.

Gendou: "Is Casper or the ANGELS faster?", right?

Misato: You can make the program it on time, right? If Casper is taken over

completely, we're done for.

Ritsuko: I keep my promises.

* MAGI on the screen

Female Operator: Red Alert, Red Alert. There is an emergency within NERV

HQ. All emergency workers are to be evacuated.

Maya: (looking inside Casper) W-- What are those?

Ritsuko: Notes by the system developer.

Maya: Cripes! Those are the secret codes of MAGI!

Misato: It's just like the map to MAGI's back door.

Maya: Owwww, am I allowed to see such a things? Can't believe it! This is

c of int! With these, we can program much faster than was expected.

Ritsuko: Thanks, Mother. We can make it for certain.

Ritsuko: Get me that wrench.

Misato: Reminds me of when we were in college.

Ritsuko: Board number 25.

Misato: Mmmmm... Will you tell me about MAGI? Just a little?

Ritsuko: It's a long story. But not much fan. Do you know of the personality

transfer OS?

Misato: Yes. It is a system to transfer a person's personality, making a

7th generation organic computer able to think by itself. It's used

to operate EVA, too.

Ritsuko: I heard the MAGI were the first one to use it. My mother

developed it.

Misato: Your mother's personality was transferred to MAGI?

Ritusko: Yes.

Ritsuko: In other word, these brains are my mother's.

Misato: Is that why you wanted to protect MAGI?

Ritsuko: I do not think so. I never liked my mother much. It was a

decision as a scientist.

Glasses: Balthazar has now been taken over.

Voice: Self-destruction is now voted for by the AIs. Self-destruction

will be executed 20 seconds after all three have agreed to it.

The ranges of self- destruction are Geoid depth -280, -140, and

floor 0. Due to the activation of special rule 582, cancellation

by two of the AIs is impossible.

Misato: It has begun?

Long Hair: Balthazar is further invading Casper.

Fuyutsuki: They're pushing us.

Glasses: What speed!!

Voice: Self-destruction in 20 seconds.

Fuyutsuki: Oh, no.

Long Hair: Casper will be taken over in 18 seconds.

Voice: Self-destruction in 15 seconds.

Misato: Ritsuko! Hurry!

Voice: Self-destruction in 10 seconds.

Ritsuko: Don't worry. We're one second ahead.

Voice: Self-destruction in 9 seconds.

Misato: A SECOND?

VOICE: 8--

Ritsuko: Not zero, not negative. Maya.

Voice: 7, 6--

Maya: We can do it.

Voice: 5, 4, 3--

Ritsuko: Hit it.

Voice: 2, 1, 0.

Voice: Self-destruction cancelled by AIs.

Glasses: Haha!

Long Hair: YES!

Maya and Misato: (Smiling Sighs)

Voice: Special rule 582 has been cleared. MAGI system return to normal.

Ritsuko: Pfew!

Voice: Red Alert cleared. Red Alert cleared. Everyone back to type one

alert.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* In Entry plug, floating on a pond

Shinji: What is going on?

Asuka: Yeee! I can't get out of here without any clothing! Someone, help

me FAST!

Maya: Sigma Unit now released. -03 until the reopening the of MAGI system.

Ritsuko: Am I already too old for an all-nighter?

Misato: (handing a cup to Ritusko) Once again, you kept your promise.

Good job.

Ritsuko: Thank you. This is the first time I've thought that coffee you

made is delicious.

Misato: Hehehe.

Ritusko: A night before her death, my mother told me the MAGI are three of

herself--as a scientist, as a mother, and as a woman. The MAGI

are those three fighting each other. She purposely left the

dilemma of human beings within it. To be honest, each program

is slightly different from the others. Since I do not seem to be

a mother, I cannot understand my mother as a mother. But as a

scientist, I respected her. And as a woman, I even hated her.

Misato: You're talkative today.

Ritsuko: In Casper, her pattern as a woman was input. She stayed

a woman to the last. It was just like my mother.

Avant title

It was in 2015 A.D.

------------

The third Angel

------------

Sachiel's attack

------------

The performance of conventional weapons

against Angels

was seen to be insufficient.

------------

The U.N. force,

having failed to carry out the plan,

------------

transfered all the authority to command

to the special institute NERV.

------------

The same day midnight,

the Angel arrived

above NERV headquarters.

------------

The same day, acquired was

------------

The Third Qualified Child,

------------

Ikari Shinji,

------------

who was accepted to pilot

------------

Evangelion Unit One

and sortied for the first time.

------------

NERV

experienced its first actual battle,

------------

the first battle in Tokyo-3.

------------

Eva Unit One

took damage to the head component

and lost control.

------------

Complete silence.

------------

Afterwards,

------------

RUNNING WILD.

------------

"Urban combat in Tokyo-3"

interim report.

The commanding officer:

Chief of Strategy Captain Katsuragi Misato.

Misato: Although the resultant damage was terribly large,

------------

The A.T. Fields of

Misato: the challenge to a first battle against an unknown target

by an inexperienced boy,

------------

the third Angel and Unit One

were detected.

Misato: and the fact that he carried out said challenge

are indeed admirable accomplishments for Ikari Shinji.

------------

Unit One

eroded the target's A.T. Field.

Misato: However, for the Strategic section, it was a hard

battle that further revealed more problems and many

points requiring improvement.

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

Intercept installation, slight damage.

Eva Unit One, middle scale damage.

------------

The sufferers in the incident

were not made public.

------------

Excerpted from Suzuhara Touji's notes/diary

Touji: Sis is in primary school, her second year.

She got hurt in that snafu'd incident,

but it ain't 'cuz of the enemy. No, it's 'cuz o' the

nutty robot on our side.

There's no way I can fogive such a damn-fool pilot.

I wanna make those adults who made the robot feel Sis's

pain and my anger...

------------

The fourth Angel

------------

Shamusiel's

attack

------------

At that time,

the performance ratio of

the surface-to-air intercept system:

48.2%

------------

The operation ratio of the

Tokyo-3 battle formation:

96.8%

------------

Douki Hikari's notes/diary (exerpts)

Hikari: Since I'd often experienced evacuation training together

with my classmates, this was just like an everyday matter.

I did not truly realize the full extent of the situation.

The boys were making noise as if they were on a school excursion

and us girls were not afraid of anything.

------------

The Angel

arrived above Toyko-3.

------------

The second battle in Tokyo-3.

------------

Despite an accidental severing of

the power-supply,

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

NERV obtained a sample

of an Angel retaining its original shape,

------------

yet the final report

of the analysis

was never published.

------------

The Fifth Angel

------------

Ramiel's attack

------------

Against

this difficult opponent,

------------

Captain Katsuragi's proposition,

Operation Yashima,

was approved.

------------

The First Qualified Child

------------

The Exclusive Pilot of Eva Unit Zero

------------

Ayanami Rei

------------

sortied on the unsealed

Eva Unit Zero for the first time.

------------

The same day midnight,

a component of the Angel

invaded the Geofront.

------------

NERV

executed Operation Yashima.

------------

Excerpted from Aida Kensuke's personal material

Kensuke:Ikari says nothing, but I am sure at that time, Unit Zero

protected Unit One with her life against the enemy's

accelerated-particle-cannon attack.

I am certain about this, and

it is due to a single reason.

It's Ayanami.

I have the impression that Ayanami regards herself as

having a very tenuous existence.

------------

Operation Yashima,

successful.

Kensuke:It's different from pessimism,

Kensuke:But she already has something like that.

------------

Eva Unit Zero, heavily damaged.

-----------

However,

the pilot survived.

Kensuke:She seems more matured than the rest of us who are 14 years old.

------------

The sixth Angel

------------

Gagiel

------------

was encountered.

Committee:This incident is slightly outside the scenario.

Ikari: Yet the result was within the predicted range.

It's possible to revise.

------------

The Second Qualified Child

------------

The Exclusive Pilot of Eva Unit Two

------------

Souryu Asuka Langley

------------

sortied on Eva Unit Two

for the first time.

------------

With a close-range battle on the sea

------------

and

------------

the first underwater combat

------------

in the battle around the Old Ito region,

------------

Angel, annihilated.

Committee: In the battle, the U.N. Navy lost one third of its entire fleet.

Committee: The ships lost are those of your country.

It is negligible.

Committer:Well, yes. It was quite fortunate that once again that the

damage was minimal.

------------

The Seventh Angel

------------

Israfel's

Attack

------------

It had the capability of

separation and combination.

------------

However,

By a synchronized, two-point heavy assault

by Eva Units One and Two,

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

The Eighth Angel

------------

Sandarphone

------------

Discovered inside the

crater of Mt. Asamayama.

------------

NERV

ordered Special Command A-17

------------

and carried out the capture operation

under ultimate priority conditions.

------------

The target was momentarily imprisoned

in an electro-magnetic light wave cage.

But...

------------

the electro-magnetic barrier was broken.

The operation was aborted.

------------

The objective of the operation

was changed to

Angel annihilation.

------------

Eva Unit Two

carried out the operation.

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

Eva Unit Zero was fully restored from damage

and had upgrades completed.

------------

It was returned to operational status.

------------

The Ninth Angel

------------

Matriel's

attack

------------

By the first simultaneous

operation of three Eva Units

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

The Tenth Angel

------------

Tzachqiel's

attack

------------

Against the target dropping

from stratosphere,

------------

through direct interception

by three Eva Units,

------------

Angel, annihilated.

------------

The Eleventh Angel

------------

Its attack is not currently being acknowledged.

------------

A rumour states NERV headquarters

was directly invaded.

Committee: That is very bad.

------------

The Instrumentality of Man Committee,

Special Meeting

Committee: Too early.

Committee: Well, yes. It does not agree with the prediction that an Angel

should invade the headquarters of NERV.

Committee: In addition to that, you allowed it to invade Central

Dogma.

Committee: If contact had taken place, the entire plan would be in vain.

Ikari: The report to this committee was false.

There's no truth behind the Angel's invasion.

Committee: Then, Ikari, you're saying, the Eleventh Angel's

invasion is not fact?

Ikari: Yes.

Committee: You should watch your speech with care, Ikari-kun.

A perjurer before this committee shall die.

Ikari: I will allow you to investigate the records of Magi.

Nothing concerning the incident was recorded.

Committee: Don't make us laugh!

Concealing facts is one of your specialities.

Ikari: The time schedule is proceeding according to the description in

the Dead Sea Scroll.

Committee: All right. This time, we won't accuse you of crime and

responsibility. However, you don't have to write a new scenario.

Ikari: I understand.

Let all things go according to Seele's scenario.

WEAVING A STORY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei: Mountain. Heavy are the mountains,

Something that changes through ages.

Sky. Blue sky. Something visible, something invisible.

Sun. Something unique.

Water. Something agreeable. Commander Ikari.

Flowers. Many of them alike, many of them useless.

Sky. Red, red sky. Red colour. Red colour that I hate.

Water flow. Blood. The smell of blood. A woman that does not bleed.

Made from the red soil are humans.

Made by Man and Woman are humans.

Town. Something that humans made.

Eva. Something that humans made.

Humans are what? Something that God made.

Humans are things which humans made.

The things I possess are my life and mind.

The vessel of a mind. Entry plug, the throne of a soul.

Rei: Who is this? This is me.

Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?

Rei: I am myself. This object is me, the figure which forms me.

This is the me that is visible, though it feels as if this is not me.

A strange feeling.

My body seems as if it is melting.

I cannot see myself. My figure is fading away.

I am aware of someone else.

Who is there before me?

Ikari-kun.

I know this person. Major Katsuragi.

Dr. Akagi.

People, my classmates.

The pilot of Unit Two.

Commander Ikari.

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

Ritsuko: So, Rei, how is being in Unit One for the first time?

Rei: It smells of Ikari-kun.

------------

The first mutual compatibility test.

Examinee: Ayanami Rei

------------

Ritsuko:The synchro-ratio is almost the same as that with Unit Zero.

Maya: A similar personal pattern is shared between Unit Zero and Unit One.

Ritsuko: That is why synchronization is possible.

Maya: Error plus minus 0.03.

Harmonics are regular.

Ritsuko:No detectable problems in the compatibility between Rei and Unit One.

Ritsuko: Okay, test complete. Rei, your job is over.

Rei: Yes.

------------

The 87th Unit synchronization test.

Examinee: Souryu Asuka Langray

------------

Announce: Data-bank of Unit Two, complete.

Announce: Harmonics regular.

Announce: Pilot, nothing abnormal.

Asuka: Obviously.

------------

The first mutual compatibility test.

Examinee: Ikari Shinji

------------

Ritsuko:Personal data of Unit Zero?

Maya: Rewriting already completed. Currently verifying.

Ritsuko:Examinee's status?

Staff: Slightly strained, but no problems in the nerve pattern.

Misato: He's in Unit Zero for the first time, and since it's a different Eva,

that's reasonable.

Asuka: He's a fool! He should relax and ignore stuff like that.

Misato: He's not a kid to do that, not Shinji-kun.

Asuka: I know. That's why he's a fool.

Misato: (laughs)

Asuka: By the way, about the other two's Unit compatibility test,

won't I have to participate in it?

Misato: You woudn't want to use anything other than Unit Two.

Asuka: Yeah, obviously I wouldn't.

Misato: I've never heard anything about Unit Two's compatibility...

Announce:Entry started.

Announce:LCL injected.

Announce:Start first stage connection.

Ritsuko:Shinji, how do you feel in the entry plug of Unit Zero?

Shinji: I feel something strange.

Maya: Do you feel any incompatibility?

Shinji: No... I mean, it smells of Ayanami...

Asuka: What's he smelling? He's just perverted!

Announce:Data received. Verifying...

Announce:Pattern green.

Announce:Main power-supply connection complete.

Announce:All restraints nominal.

Ritsuko:Roger. The mutual compatibility test will proceed to the second

stage.

Maya: Unit Zero entering the second contact.

Misato: How is it?

Ritsuko: As I expected, a smaller synchro-ratio than with Unit One.

Maya: Harmonics all in normal position.

Ritsuko:But these are good readings.

This means we can carry out the plan.

Maya: The Dummy system, you mean?

Senapi, I dare say that I'm not really...

Ritsuko:I understand why you don't want this.

However, preparation is always necessary in order for one to live.

Maya: I respect you, senpai, and I will do my job,

but I'm not entirely convinced.

Ritsuko:One with mysophobia always feels difficulty in living among people.

When you get dirty, you will discover this.

Announce:Third connection started.

Announce:Self-psycho-graph, stable.

Asuka: What's it like, Shin-chan! Mama's breast? Or inside the womb?

Ritsuko:Asuka! No interruptions! Noise would penetrate.

Asuka: Yeah, fine.

Asuka: What the hell? Everyone pampers Shinji...

Ritsuko: A10 Nerve connection started.

Announce: Harmonics Level plus 20.

Shinji: Ah, what's this?

Something's directly entering my mind. What is it?

Ayanami? Ayanami Rei? It's Rei, this impression is hers.

Ayanami? Isn't it?

Misato: What's wrong?

Announce:Pilot's nerve-pulse is irregular.

Maya: Psychological contamination taking place.

Ritsuko:Impossible! This plug depth could not trigger that.

Maya: No, it's not from the plug. The invasion's from Eva.

Maya: Unit Zero, out of control!

Ritsuko:Cut all circuits! Cut power-supply!

Announce:Eva switched to backup power source.

Announce:Still operatioinal.

Misato: Shinji's status?

Staff: No carrier on the circuit. Monitoring is impossible.

Ritsuko:Unit Zero is rejecting Shinji-kun?

Maya: No! Auto-ejection non operational.

Ritsuko:The same incident as last time?

Is it trying to possess Shinji-kun?

Misato: Rei! Get back! Rei!

Announce:Unit Zero, 10 seconds to operation halt, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0

Announce:Unit Zero has ceased operation.

Misato: Rescue the pilot! Hurry!

Misato: No way! Did Eva just try to kill Rei?

-----------------------

Misato: Is this incident related to the last time it ran wild?

That incident with Rei?

Ritsuko: There is little I can say at the moment. The one thing I can

currently say is that after returning the personal data of Rei to

Unit Zero, another synchronization test between Rei and Unit Zero

will be necessary.

Misato: As Chief of Strategy, I request that you do it immediately,

before it interferes with our job.

Ritsuko:I understand, Major Katsuragi.

Ritsuko: Unit Zero must have tried to attack me.

That must be it.

------------------------------

Shinji: Uh.

Radio: The next astonishment in the world is a doggy who can calculate.

Hi! Here you go, the genius doggy, Kanna-chan!

ONE!

Good greetings!

Do you understand language?

ONE!

Oh, that's right!

ONE!

Then please solve this problem:

325 minus 324 is

ONE!

Oh! Great! That is correct!

# Japanese dog barks "WAN, WAN" instead of "BOW WOW", thus "one one"

Shinji: No... I hate this ceiling.

------------

Staff: Shinji-kun has recovered consciousness.

No after-effects remain from the pollution.

He himself remembers nothing.

Misato: Really...

-------------------------------------

Radio: The problem of Nansha islands ...

Asuka: Both Misato and Kaji-san tell me nothing.

Shinji knows nothing.

What kind of a girl is First?

--------------------------------------

Fuyuzuki:About that Angel's invasion which deviated from the plan.

The Instrumentality of Man Committee found the facts and are pushing.

They are ill-tempered people. To complain is their only job.

Ikari: All the trump cards are ours. They can do nothing.

Fuyuzuki:That does not mean you should irritate them.

Ikari: Everything is going according to the scenario. There are no problems.

Fuyuzuki:What about Unit Zero's accident? That was not in my scenario.

Ikari: It's not interfering.

The synchro test between Rei and Unit Zero after that

was successful.

Fuyuzuki:He's taking care of Rei too much. Ikari...

Fuyuzuki:What's the status of the Adam Project?

Ikari: No problems. The delay is less than 2%.

Fuyuzuki:Then, how about Lancea Longini?

Ikari: Going according to the plan.

The operation is being carried out by Rei.
