Chapter 1: In Medias Res
The meeting room, was very well kept and organized. The room had a slight smell of lemons. It was appearant that this room was cleaned not too long ago. In the shelves there were law books neatly organized, and was barely even opened. However the room itself despite having a rather cool demeanor was the place for nothing cool at all. But something rather, engaging.
The long oak table was the only form of seperation between two opposing sides. One side had Dr. Akagi and her lawyers while on the other side had the Prime Minister of Japan and his lawyer and his assistants. They were being recorded by a portable video camera for possible evindence in the near future.
"Dr. Akagi, it says here that you were with the NERV organization since it was called GEHIRN, is that correct?" The PM's lawyer said, he was referred to as Sadamoto.
"Yes I was." she simply answered.
"And your mother was part of GEHIRN as well, in fact that was partly the reason why you joined, is that true?" Sadamoto questioned.
Dr. Akagi was trying to restrain her hands from flexing so much. That so called mother of hers sold her out. She remembered it vividly, yet she tried to forget it all. The bitch was dead, and she was glad because of it.
"My mother was part of GEHIRN but I joined the organization for my own reasons." she stated.
"Regardless of the case, you were close with Commander Gendo Ikari. So I ask you this, how could you not know any details regarding The Instrumentality Project?"
"You suspect that since I worked along side with the Commander, that I would know any details regarding the project, if that is the case than I am not the only one that you should be interrogating." she replied, her voice calm but demeanor was turning into rage.
"What are you implying Doctor?"
"What I am Implying is that I wasn't the only one that was informed of the Project's details. There were many others that were involved in this." she was growing agitated.
"So what you are saying is that the entire NERV organization itself including the chosen children were aware of these details?"
Dr. Akagi's lawyer was whispering in her ear. She was completely going hysterical, was she going to confess that she withheld details of The Project?
"What are you doing? You are placing yourself in a unwanted perdicament!" she whispered harshly at her.
"I know what I'm doing, and I don't give a damn so let me protect myself for once." she growled. Then she focused her attention at the lawyer that was giving her so much trouble.
"The Children were not involved and many of the staff were not even aware but I will say this, some people knew these details however they never released the information either it was because they were blackmailed or because they were bought off."
"Well then, do you anyone who withheld this information?"
"Yes I do, and he standing right there." Dr. Akagi announced as she held an accused finger towards her target...the Prime Minister.
The PM stood up abruptly knocking his seat to the floor purely outraged at this accusation. "ARE YOU ACCUSING ME? OF SOMETHING I DID NOT DO? SOMETHING THAT IS NOT EVEN IN MY NATURE TO DO? ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF BETRAYING THE HUMAN RACE?"
The PM's lawyer stood up and tried to soothe the PM's rage. However the PM was far from done from even releasing his anger. "ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS PASSING THE BUCK! TRYING TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN DAMNATION. ALL YOU ARE DOING IS CREATING FUCKING SLANDER!"
"Prime Minister!" his lawyer exclaimed. The Minister finally looked at his lawyer. "Sir, I am here to help you and you are making yourself a bad name."
The Prime Minister came to his senses and grabbed his seat from the floor and sat back down. He took deep breaths to soothe his new found anger towards the Doctor. The Doctor on the other hand didn't even bother with the whole case as she sat sideways looking at the window.
"You, Doctor are creating something that is truely unbelieveable, how can you say that the Prime Minister was apart of this conspiracy?
"It's raining." she replied.
"Doctor Akagi, do I have your full attention?" he asked.
"Since I cannot lie due to the fact that I am under oath and face prejury if I lie, I will say No...you don't have my full attention."
"No?"
"For something like this, you only have the smallest amount of my attention. Reason being is beacuse I know the Prime Minister is just trying to cover for himself but in reality he is just a cold manipulative liar as the Commander and he knows it."
The Prime Minister held his position wanting to speak out but couldn't and he also couldn't believe that she would say something like that.
"My sole attention has been creating the Evangelions, the pinnacle of Mankind's achievement. An achievement that was not done by the likes of the Minister himself or anyone else in this room because they don't have the intellect nor the creativity to construct something like the Evangelion...Did I answer your question?"
A/N: Well that's the first chapter, this story came out of the blue for me but regardless I am going to try to keep this going as I have other fics in store as well. And one more thing, kudos to the person who figures out what is this chapter's inspiration. Hint: It was a movie that came out last year.
