Government Internal Memo 1999, No. 00497863 (Top Secret)
Dispatched by Central Authority Secretariat Special Task Force Defense Supervisor, Battle Experiment Advisor of the Special Defense Army, and Central Scientific Secretariat of Experimental Research.
To: All Supervisors in Charge of Upcoming Scheduled Battle Experiment Programs for the years of 1999 and 2000.
It has been decided that Battle Experiment No. 68 Program will hereby be modified by the following changes, in accordance with a decision to alter the methods and purpose of the program. All task force members authorized to view Top Secret level information for the Battle Experiment program are to be informed of the following changes.
1. Battle Experiment No. 68 Program will be combined with Scientific Research Program No. 13, known as Aryan Project. Brigadier General Gendo Ikari will be given authority over the combined project, which shall henceforth be referred to as Special Cooperative Experiment No. 4. A complete rearrangement of the official chain of command will soon follow in a separate memo.
2. The selection process will be altered. 49 junior high school classes will be selected randomly per year as normal, to take place in an unchanged Battle Experiment No. 68. In addition, 30 students will be selected from one of the Special Exempt Zones (see File No. 00197863, Top Secret) based on the personal choice of the head research staff for the Aryan Project. These students will all be taken from the same school, but may be taken from any grade from seven to twelve. The results of this test will not be reported publicly.
3. Supervision of the Special Exempt Zone Battle Experiment will be overseen by Brig. Gen. Ikari as head of the Aryan Project, as well as subject Code Name Zero. Brig. Gen. Ikari will be given complete authority over the Experiment, and may intervene at any time. His decisions in this matter are not to be questioned.
-Addendum-
According to a report by the Special Security Department, there have been signs that a possible anti-government organization, possibly with foreign backing, may have infiltrated some level of the combined Aryan Program. As such, the decision was made to postpone the Project until these rumors could be investigated. However, the decision has since been overruled, and the Program will go forth as planned.
All agents involved are advised to be watchful for any suspicious behavior, and to report any possible threats immediately to Brig. Gen. Ikari personally.
This information is to be classified top secret and is to be treated as such.
