'Text' Thought

Like an Angel without a sense of mercy, rises young one to the heavens as a legend.

Cold winds, as blue as the sea, tear open the door to your heart, but unknowing you seem,

Just staring at me, standing their smiling serenely.

Desperate for something to touch, moments of kindness like that of a dream.

You're innocent; as eyes as yet have no idea of the path your destiny will follow.

But, someday you'll become aware of everything you got behind you.

Your wings are for seeking out a new future that only you can search for.

The cruel Angel's thesis bleeds through a portal like your pulsing blood.

If you betray the chapel of your memories, the cruel Angel will enter the window of your soul.

So, young one, stand tall and embrace the fire of legend, embrace the universe like a blazing star!

Episode 1: Pilot

Begin transmission

-Thirty miles off the coast of Tokyo 3 12:30 pm EST August 5 2015-

From above the waves, the UN VTOL's cameras once again trained them selves on the dark shape moving in the water.

"That's the third time this thing has changed its direction within the minute," the aircrafts co-pilot said. "Still think it's a submarine?"

"I have no idea whatsoever, radio HQ, and tell them that our target's ETA is within the next ten minutes." As the co-pilot began to relay the message, a series of sensors in the VTOL began to scream wildly.

"What the hell?" Turning their attention to the video screen, a massive glow of energy could be seen forming on the water's surface just above the submerged object. The last contact heard from the VTOL before its transmission cut was "My god their back." The humans had received the first part of its message, the traveler picked up speed closing in on its target, Sachiel had arrived.

-----

"Great, dead batteries," the sole occupant of Tokyo transit muttered to herself, shaking the dying CD player in annoyance. Leaning back in her seat, she sighed. "Item three on the list of reasons why I should have never bothered to come." Watching as the scenery changed from open landscape to that of the station, Rei Ikari began to gather her things up.

"Last stop Tokyo 3 transit station, please remove all of your belongings from the train as you exit, thank you for riding transit and have a nice day," the mechanical monotone of the Conductor droned, the train coming to a screeching halt. Stepping in to the station, the first thing noticed was the lack of people. 'Wasn't there supposed to be someone picking me up?' she wondered, heading toward the main entrance.

-----

"General the artillery battalions are in place, awaiting your orders."

"When it arrives fire at will, leave no piece of it alive." Several dozen mass armored vehicles trained their main guns on the encroaching behemoth in Tokyo bay. Breaking the surface the closer toward land it drew, was a massive bird like creature with multiple limbs ending in wickedly cruel claws, its sole purpose, obliterating the Lilim city.

"Fire at will, fire at will!" The deafening boom of gunpowder against metal drowned the order out as a myriad of shells rained down on the Angel. A hexagonal shield of energy expanded itself from the beast's body, deflecting the projectiles like they were, but flies.

"Keep firing, fall back and keep firing!" A second volley of mortar fire and anti-personal weaponry was launched at the monstrosity, all of which met the same fate as the first. Turing its interests toward the futile human offense, the traveler switched its objectives for the moment, take out the Lilim defense. Raising its palm to the artillery batteries, Sachiel watched with curious eyes as the light of his soul burned the humans and their machines to ash.

-----

"It seems that your military might has failed us General Poe, let us see if my air force's best men can handle what your troops could not, launch all fighters!"

"General Rodriguez!"

"Yes lieutenant?"

"We've tracked the target, its heading straight for the heart of the city!"

"Good, we can corner it there, we've already evacuated the city so casualties should be reduced to a minimum, order the Utha's to converge on the target as soon as it enters the park. If my fighters prove their worth, then it looks like you won't get a chance to try out your toy Ikari."

"We will see when the time comes General, we will see."

"It's been nearly fifteen years since we've last seen them, it looks likes the scrolls were right, the Angels have returned," Nerv's second in command spoke.

"Everything is as it has been predicted."

"Then no amount of the JSSDF's conventional weaponry could ever hope to stop them."

"For now the Eva project is mankind's only hope."

-----

"We're sorry, but do the state of emergency, all phone lines have been shutdown," the recording stated flatly. Rei sighed, slamming down the receiver and pulling out a photo. It depicted a woman wearing a yellow top and cutoff shorts leaning forward.

"I'll pick you up at three," was written along the side. She sighed again and looked off down the street. She noticed someone standing in the middle of the intersection. A series of explosions in the distance drew her attention away from them and when she looked back they were gone.

'That was weird,' she thought. Another series of explosions, closer this time, rocked the ground causing Rei to lose her balance and fall to her knees. Rei looked up and screamed a monstrous, clawed hand rested on the summit of the hill across the street from the station. A squadron of F-24 Utah's flew from behind it as the Angel emerged in pursuit. She stared up at the monstrosity in transfixed horror, her state of shock only to be broken by a cluster of missiles flying overhead, detonating before they made contact with the beast's body.

Two more fighters appeared in the sky, diving down at the Angel, their forward guns blazing. Sachiel, snapping out one of its arms, tore an assailing fighter from the sky, bringing it crashing to the ground. An enormous frigate moved from its cover of a shattered building, firing off a quadruplet of massive warheads. The messenger of destruction extended its muscled limbs, the impact of the missiles in its palms forcing it back a step. Sachiel's grip tightened on the missiles, crushing in the heads and detonating them. The resulting shockwave reduced glass to nothing and tossed vehicles like they were mere children's playthings.

Screaming, Rei frantically crawled behind the phone booth, the agitated wind violently wiping shards of glass against her huddled form.

"Make it stop," she whimpered. "Make it stop." Sachiel pushed forward, proceeding deeper into the heart of the city. The sounds of battle faded, leaving Rei in silence.

-----

The hollowed sounds of footsteps echoed through the empty streets of Tokyo 3. The owner of the footfalls rounded the corner, her arms and legs pumping as she jogged along. Captain Misato Katsuragi placed her hand against the wall for support, her head hung and breathing heavily. Sliding her headphones off, she flipped her Mp3 player to standby just in time to hear her cell phone going off.

"Hello?"

"Where the hell are you!"

"Well hello to you to Ritsuko," she greeted the enraged doctor.

"I've tried calling you ten times in the last half hour!"

"I had my headphones on, I probably didn't hear you."

"What have you been doing?"

"I was out jogging."

"How could you be jogging when the city is under attack?"

"It is?" She questioned surprised.

"How do you," Ritsuko sighed. "Never mind, you do know that you were supposed to pick up the commander's daughter at 3:00 right?"

"I thought that was tomorrow."

"Misato, we needed her here a half an hour ago! She was supposed to be our spare pilot!" Misato cringed under the verbal assault.

"Ritsuko, calm down, I'll go get her, but in the mean time can't you just use Michael?"

"We can't find him," Ritsuko responded flatly.

"What do you mean you can't find him?"

"I mean he's not anywhere on the base or at home, we don't even know if he's in the city."

"All right, I'm on my way."

"You better hope she's still alive, the station was one of the first places hit, if she's dead you'll lose a lot more then your job."

"I understand."

"And Misato, be careful."

-----

Dr. Akagi sighed, placing the receiver back in its cradle. She rubbed her temples before picking up the phone again, punching in the number with nervous fingers. The line clicked, and "Hello?" a Russian accent answered.

"Nicholai, I need you to do me a favor."

"And what do you need me to do Ritsuko?"

"I sent Misato out to get the commander's daughter, but I don't think she can do it, she's been a little unstable lately so I need you to pick her up."

"No offense doctor, but you're insane if you think I could do that. I've got so much to get done down here that I'd have to pull a fucking miracle out of my ass to finish let alone drive out into a city that looks like the result of world war three to pick up some kid." Voices in the background could be heard shouting followed by a tremendous crash. Nicholai began screaming obscenities in a cross between Russian and English.

"What the hell is going on down there?"

"We're still trying to outfit Unit-1 with the B-type equipment, Unit-00 just began the de-freezing process, and we're having trouble with Eva-1's activation. Look Dr. Akagi, I'll see what I can do on the third child situation, but I'm not making any promises."

"Thanks Nicholai, I owe you."

-----

"Rei Ikari?" A flat voice inquired. Rei slowly looked up, her crimson eyes wide with fear. The form of a figure dressed in black jeans, a leather jacket, and a motorcycle helmet with the visor down met her vision. She nodded her reply.

"I need you to come with me," they stated.

"Who are you?"

"I work for Nerv, I have been sent to retrieve you," The figure answered, climbing onto the large Yamaha beside them. How had she not heard it approach?

"Get on." Cautiously, Rei approached the motorcycle, wrapping her legs around the back seat.

"Hold on." Rei complied, wrapping her arms around the figures waist. The engine revved and the bike took off down the street, the wind feverishly wiping Rei's hair.

-----

"My best squadron crushed like insects," General Rodriquez sighed. "What am I going to tell their families?"

"It is unanimous then general?"

"Yes, no more holding back, prepare to launch the Leviathan." A technician turned towards their consul, typing in several commands.

"Authorization code: Alpha Tango Delta Tango Papa 312666, General the Meridian is hot."

-----

Far above the planet's surface the Meridian weapons platform orbited. From the under carriage a barrel extended and rotated into place, stabilization fins expanded from it's sides. With a sound much like that of a grenade launcher, the N2 mine Leviathan left it's home and plummeted towards the earth.

-----

"Please be alright, please be all right, please be alright," Captain Katsuragi muttered to herself as she drove well over the speed limit through the ruins of Tokyo 3. The captian's eyes darted around fretfully searching for any signs of the Angel. Her vigilance paid off as a gigantic foot crashed to the ground before Misato's car. With a scream she slammed on the brakes and yanked the stirring wheel to the right, sending the car into a cycle of vomit inducing spins. The vehicle came under control and stopped before it could crash into the Angel. The violet haired captain watched, frozen in terror, as the monstrous being lifted its foot and continued down the street, leaving a trail of fathomless craters behind. The shrill whistle of a massive object falling from the heavens pierced the distilled silence that filled the air.

"My god, they launched an N2 mine!" Misato's eyes tracked the friction induced fiery object as it streaked across the sky. Throwing the car into reverse, she slammed her foot down on the gas and flew backwards. Switching to drive, she swung the car around and gunned it, her eyes on the review mirror. Sachiel looked up unconcerned as the weapon hurtled towards him. The Leviathan impacted at Sachiel's feet, bathing the heavenly messenger and the entire city in all of it's burning destructive glory. Misato screamed, a pillar of fire charging down the street after her. The wall of inferno slammed into the rear end of her car, causing it to go out of control. The force of the impact whiplassed her head against the steering wheel, knocking her unconscious as her car crashed through the guardrail and flipped down into the canyon below.

-----

"External cameras offline, the shockwaves have knocked out the sensors," a technician called.

"Has the target been neutralized? I want visual conformation!"

"External cameras restored, brining it on screen." The static on the bridge's monitor faded replaced by the image of dust and smoke filled sky around the Tenkai district. The smoke slowly faded reveling a completely devastated cityscape.

"Is it dead? Did we get it?"

"Blue pattern detected!" A female technician cried, the energy chart on her screen spiking dramatically. A sillhoute began to emerge from the smoke, Sachiel stood in the midsts of the destruction, it's flesh melted and peeling from the heat, but still standing.

"It's still alive how can that be?"

"We've used up all our options, the Leviathan was our last resort, our future is in your hands now Ikari, prove to us all that it was wise to trust you with our hopes."

"That is why Nerv exists General Poe." The bridge fell into silence, the defeated generals leaving Nerv's staff to prepare their assault on God's servant.

-----

"What was that?" Rei called to her escort.

"I believe it was an N2 mine, a thermal nuclear device," came the driver of the motorcycle's monotonous reply. The complete flatness and lack of emotion in the driver's voice was beginning to scare Rei, the way they sounded reminded her of a computer or a robot. The Yamaha came to an abrupt stop, it's driver climbing off.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting us a ride." The driver pressed a button on the intercom located next to the gate before them. "This is Michael, I'm requesting a car elevator."

"Where the hell have you been? The whole base has been trying to find you!" A voice shouted over the intercom.

"I was retrieving the third child who is now in my presences."

"Thank the Gods," the sound of relieve could be heard on the intercom. "You're needed in the cages, bring the third child with you."

"Understood," Michael stated turning to Rei. She watched, fascinated, as he removed his helmet, revealing a crop of short, spiky, black hair, deathly pale skin, and deep crimson eyes much like her own.

"Why do they keep referring to me as the 'third child'?"

"Read this," Michael answered, tossing a booklet with the words 'welcome to Nerv' and 'classified your eyes only' written on it.

"Nerv, my mother's organization, am I going to be working for my mother?"

"Nerv is headed by Commander Ikari, you do have the clearance card she sent you, do you not?" Rei nodded pulling out a red and silver hued card from her pocket. Michael took it from her hands and slide it through the slot next to the intercom along with his own, the gate in front of them sliding open. Michael wheeled his motorcycle into the car elevator, Rei following him.

-----

Dr. Ritsuko Akagi and the head of Nerv's weapons division, Nicholai Hebb, stood on the bridge before the hulking behemoth known as Evangelion Unit-1 an exhausted look on both of their faces.

"Well it wasn't easy, but I think we can actually pull this off," Nicholai stated proudly.

"Look Nicholai, this is probably asking to much of you, but I need you to go out and try to find Captain Katsurgai, she hasn't returned yet and I'm worried she got herself killed." Nicholai let out an exasperated sigh.

"All right, but I'm going to need you to keep that Angel off my back while I'm out there."

"Got it." Without warning the doctor wrapped her arms around her friend. The surprise quickly wore off and he returned the gesture.

"Will doctor Akagi please report to lift three for pilot retrieval?"

"Sounds like they're playing your song," Nicholai stated pulling away.

"See you on the other side," she called after him, the two going their separate ways.

------

Rei looked up from the book at Micheal noting that his expression still had not changed from the time that they had entered the elevator. His face held no emotion on it and could only be described as dead and it creeped the hell out of her. The fact that his eyes looked like lifeless pools of red ink didn't help either. The doors to the elevator slide open and a bottle blonde haired woman in a lab coat stepped in startling Rei out of her thoughts.

"There you are Michael, we were wondering where you had gotten off to," she spoke regarding Rei with a glance.

"I was retrieving the third child as it seemed that no one else was willing to do it Dr."

"And you must be the commander's daughter, we were starting to worry that you were dead," the woman spoke turning to Rei, who nodded. The concrete wall of the shaft gave way to open space, the titanic wall of a glass tank appearing before them and towering into the sky.

"How is the activation of Unit-1 going?"

"So far it has been unsuccessful, the Magi have commutated that the chance of a successful re-activation is .000009 or the O nine system like Oni, the name for Japanese devils. The elevator came to a stop and the trio exited into a cavern of darkness.

"Hey what happen to the lights, why is it so dark in here!' Rei called out. As if by some unspoken command the lights switched on and Rei screamed, coming face to face with the massive head of Unit-1.

"I-t it's a giant robot," she stammered and began to flip feverishly through the book.

"You're not going to find this in there," Ritsuko pointed out. "This is the hope and future of man kind, the Evangelion series Unit-1."

"This is my mother's work?"

"Correct," a cold voice echoed from the observation room above them. Rei turned, her features contorting in anger and fear. "It's been a while."

"Mother, why did you send for me?"

"Because I have a use for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"You will be piloting Unit-1."

"What!" Dr. Akagi shouted. "How can you send her out there, she doesn't have any training and it took nearly three months for Michael to synchronize with his Unit."

"I do not need her to fight, all I ask is that she sits in the seat nothing else."

"Are you insane?" Rei screamed. "I haven't even seem anything like this before, I haven't seen you in ten years and now you call me out here and ask me to save the fucking world, what makes you think I can do this?"

"You will be instructed how."

"Still there's just no way!"

"Very well then, Michael you will pilot the Eva, our spare is unusable."

"Ma'am." Michael nodded.

"Recalibrate the system to Michael prepare the Eva for launch," Ritsuko ordered.

"So she didn't need me after all, maybe I am useless," Rei muttered. A thunderous crash echoed through the cages as an explosion pierced the Geo Front's armor, several support beams being freed from their moorings in the process and falling straight for the bridge.

"Move!" Michael pushed Rei out from under the beams before they impacted on her, his body catching the full force from one of the girders as it smashed him through the railing and into the waters of the tank.

"It appears that the Angel knows where we are," stated the wizened voice of Fuyutsuki. A hand appeared on the edge of the bridge and Michael pulled him self-weakly up and over onto the floor.

"My God, are you alright?" Rei rushed over to him and attempted to help him up.

"I'll be fine," came his labored reply, his chest heaving raggedly and blood trickling out of his mouth in a tiny stream. A small voice in Rei's head began to speak, the voice of her teacher.

"Remember Rei, no matter what your mother asks of you, you mustn't run away," it whispered, her thoughts echoing that statement.

"I'll do it, I'll pilot the Eva for you!"

"Good, prepare the entry plug," came the Commander's orders. Rei found her self within the grasp of two Technicians and being shoved into a large white tube marked 01. Once seated, Dr. Akagi appeared on a screen and began to give her the basic instructions on how to pilot the Eva.

"Flood the cockpit."

"What's going on, what's happening?" She cried, the tube filling with an amber substance, which smelled like blood.

"Don't worry, the LCL will help you synchronize with the Eva and will automatically oxygeniate your blood as soon as it enters your lungs," came the doctor's reply. Rei instinctively held her breath as the cockpit was completely filled, the fluid stinging her damaged skin.

"Oh for God's sake quit holding your breath and breathe already," Ritsuko snapped looking cross.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Rei mumbled, exhaling and allowing the fluid to flow into her lungs.

"Insert the entry plug," Yui ordered. Rei felt the vibrations as the plug was lifted from its hold and screwed into the back of Unit-1's neck. The bridge and the gates around the Eva retracted and Unit-1 moved towards the elevator.

"All safety locks in place, Eva ready for launch," Lt. Ibuki reported.

"Eva launch!" Ritsuko shouted, the giant Mecca instantly shot up the shaft ascending to the surface.

"Unit-1 has exited the shaft, releasing safety locks." The locks on the back of the Unit released and the Eva slumped forward, now standing on its own power.

"All right Rei, just concentrate on walking, just think about walking and the Eva will do the rest," the Dr.'s voice called over the intercom. Rei concentrated and slowly the giant mecha's left foot began to rise. Feeling a bit more confident with this feat, she tried again. Unit-1's right foot rose shakily and it's left leg gave out, the Eva suddenly lost it's balance and crashed to the ground. Cocking its head in curiosity the Angel approached the downed mecha and picked it up by its head. The muscle in Sachiels shoulder's bulged as it grasped Unit-1's arm and broke it.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Rei screamed in agony.

"The circuits have snapped, the neural connections are reversing, and we're losing the Eva!" Lt. Ibuki called out.

"Rei relax you have to calm down, it wasn't your real arm that was broken the neural connections are giving your brain the sensation that you broke your arm," Ritsuko explained.

-----

"It sounds like the battle has already started, guess they got the third child after all," Nicholai stated, his eyes traveling across the road looking for the Captain's car. His headlights came upon a ruined section of the guardrail. Slowing, he grabbed a flashlight and got out. Carefully he made his way down into the canyon below, the flashlight beam landing on the damaged hulk of the Captain's Nissan.

"Oh, shit, Misato are you alright?" he called running towards the semi-conscious woman hanging out of the over turned vehicles driver side window. Nicholai eyed the stream of blood flowing from the gash on the Captain's head in concern.

"Come on Misato, we need to get you to the infirmary," he coaxed pulling the wounded woman from her wreck of a car. Hoisting her onto his shoulder, he made his way slowly back up the side of the canyon. Opening the door, he gently placed her in the passenger seat and got in, driving off as fast as possible.

-----

1, 2, 3 - Go!
Sachiel had tired of playing with the pitiful excuse for a machine and decided to finish it off. Gripping the Eva's head, the protrusion on Sachiel's elbow glowing with energy and slamming forward into the Eva's head armor repeatedly each impact driving just a little bit farther into it's skull.

"The brain case has sustained heavy damage, pilot life signs are dropping rapidly!"

Broken, Yeah, you've been living on the edge of a broken dream.

"Abort! Abort! Eject the entry plug and retrieve the pilot!"

"We can't the Eva isn't responding!" With one final impact the energy pike pierced through the armored head of Unit-1 and forced it into a building. Blood sprayed out in fountains as the Angel removed the pike from the Eva's head.

Nothing, yeah, that's the only thing you'll ever take away from me

"The Eva has de-activated all connections have been lost." Slowly, Commander Ikari stood up from her seat. An aura of command and respect radiating off of her as she made her way down from the command chair to the intercom located by Ristsuko's side. Clicking on the mike, she spoke gently into the intercom.

I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna drop. Ain't no different than it was before.

"Rei, this is your mother," she stated quietly.
"M-mom?" she questioned weakly.

"Yes, seeming as it is that you are about to die, I wish to tell you that you are a great disappointment, I had hoped that even you would be able to perform such a simple task, but I have been proven horribly wrong. It seems that you are, after all, useless." All eyes were on the commander in disbelief.

So take some good advice, you better stop and think twice, before you take your first step, out that door.

"Y-you FUCKING BITCH, I'LL SHOW YOU WHO THE HELL IS USELES!" Everyone on the bridge's eyes bulged as Unit-1's synch ratio spiked dramatically and a series of alarms went off.

If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down (knocked down)! If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down!

"RRRRWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRAAAHHHHH! The giant mecha roared in fury, tearing the building it had been using for support into pieces in bloodcurdling rage. Yui grinned as she proudly watched Unit-1 go ballistic.

You had your chance to walk away. Live to see another day.

Eva-1 charged at the Angel and jumped, coming down with both feet making contact with the Angel's head and sending it staggering away. Eva-1 grabbed Sachiel and swung it into the air and flying into a building.

If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down (knocked down)! You're gonna get knocked down!

With another roar, the Eva charged and slammed its head into the Angel's stomach and forced it deeper into the building.

Aaaaah...

Pulling the Angel out by it's head, Eva slammed it to the ground and brought the heel of it's foot crashing down on the base of the Sachiel's spine.

Suffering, yeah, that's the only thing here that's left for you. Nothing, yeah, that's the only thing you're ever gonna - do.

In a desperate attempt to escape, Sachiel kicked Eva-1 in the knees and crawled away. Standing shakily, it brought it's AT field to full force as Eva made another charge.

I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna drop. Ain't no different than it was before.
 Eva stopped dead in its tracks slamming into the field. Growling, Eva latched its hands onto the hexagonal field of orange light and proceeded to rip it apart.

So take some good advice, you better stop and think twice, before you take your first step, out that door.

"Eva-1's unfolding it's own at field!"

So if you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down (knocked down)! If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down!

"It's breaking through!" Eva-1 slammed a fist into the Angel's core, causing it to stumble back.

You had your chance to walk away live to see another day.
Eva slammed another fist into the core before it brought its hands together and down on the Sachiel's head in a double hammer fist.

If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).! You're gonna get knocked down!
Sachiel staggered and collapsed on the ground, the mecha bringing its knee down on its stomach.

You're gonna get knocked down!

Unit-1 latched onto the bone like structures on the Angel's chest and pulled them apart, spraying blue blood in the process.

And now you've crossed that line. You must be out your mind.

Sachiel's arms waved helplessly, feebly attempting to fend of its attacker.

Go!

Eva-1 broke off two of the protrusions from the Sachiel's body and impaled them through the Angel's hands, pinning them to the ground.

If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down (knocked down)! If you wanna step up (step up), you're gonna get knocked down!

In one last attempt at salvation, Sachiel pulled free from it's make shift crucifixion and wrapped it's self around Uint-1's head.

You're gonna get knocked down (step up)!

Sachiel over loaded it's core and exploded forming the shape of the holy cross and taking out several city blocks.

You're gonna get knocked down...

"Blue pattern nonexistent, all traces of the Angel are gone," Lt. Hyuga stated, cheers erupting from the rest of the bride crew.

You're gonna get knocked down (step up)! You're gonna get knocked... down!

"It seems we finally have an effective way to defeat the Angels," Fuyutsuki commented. The room became silent as all eyes turned to the monitor to wait for the dust to clear. Suddenly from the smoldering blaze a figure appeared walking out in all of its glory. The Evangelion prototype Unit-1 came to a rest in front of an undamaged building, the armored helmet sliding off and crashing to the ground. Rei felt a calm wash over her as she leaned back into the pilot seat, her fit of rage coming to an end. Looking out of the left view screen and saw the head of Unit-1 reflected in the glass of the building's windows. As she watched the eye that had been blown out reformed it's self and seemed to focus directly on her. She let out a frightened gasp and passed out.

"Unit-1 has gone silent, pilot life signs nominal."
