N/A: Hello! A new chapter is here with the later events after the crazy night with a rebel robot and an Angel. Enjoy it!.
The Evangelion-01 was being carried from its Room to the large hall that connected the different Rooms with the exits to Tokyo-3. Shinji Ikari was inside the Entry Plug hearing the instructions that Misato and Ritsuko said from The Bridge when a new Blue Pattern was detected, according to the monitors. But, the another Evangelion was released too with Rei Ayanami was achieved a very good sync with the Unit. Both Evangelions were launched from the Headquarters to the city, because an Angel was invading Tokyo-3, but the orders talked about a double emergency.
Shinji watched the Angel from the Unit with Rei at his right side. Then, the Angel moved from the mountains to the Downtown and only the Unit-01 stayed for fighting, because Rei decided to move the Evangelion to the East because a new thing was out of control. The Jet Alone Robot threaten Tokyo-2 because the test was wrong, and finally the Government decided to give the command to NERV from Japan Industries. Rei followed the instructions for disabling the robot, that it walked very slow but the potential energy that waited for be release when the Operative System lost complete control over the thermonuclear core. If that occurred, Tokyo-2 would be destroyed. Shinji began to attack the Angel with the Rifle, but the dust didn't allow him for watching more than few meters, and the Angel hit the Evangelion with the red arms. At this point, Rei was surrounding the Robot feeling the hot temperature and Ritsuko explained the steps for disabling ti. Shinji heard Misato that recommended to bring the Angel to a safer place, but Shinji decided to vibrate the Progressive Knife immediately, and the Angel ran its AT Field and the shock waves between the Field and the vibration affected the Evangelion.
Misato wanted to give more time for Shinji because MAGI was analyzing information from the Angel, but Shinji only continued hitting the AT Field vibrating the Knife at the highest level. But, the Angel was untouchable. Rei Ayanami stopped the Robot with the hands and the Polysomes were release into the armature and the telemetry detected little changes in the temperature and other values of the thermonuclear core. Ritsuko warned about the tolerance of the Knife holding a long attack with the Angel.
Come on, die, die.
It is just to put the Knife.
"Shinji?"
Misato Katsuragi looked Shinji in the living room from the hall in the middle of the night, and the boy talked alone in front of the little table. He realized that Misato was with him only seconds later.
"M-Misato". Shinji felt embarrassed and gave his apologizes to the captain for being awake so late, or so early. "I cannot sleep". Misato sat in front of Shinji that looked the floor with depressed face.
"I woke up because I heard a voice". Misato smiled and looked the stars through the window.
"I am sorry". Shinji apologized again, and Misato commented about the full description that Shinji told minutes ago. "I was imagining a battle against an Angel".
"I see. Did you know about the robot during your time in Kobe?" Misato asked Shinji that reminded that long hours inside the Geo-Shelter.
"No, I didn't. But, I really thought about an Angel attacking the country". Then, Shinji told about the restricted information that the JSSDF gave to the people.
"The intention was not scare them. So, I can see that you never forgot the things that you learnt here like managing the Evangelion or the typical things during a battle. Maybe, Ritsuko would be amazed after your story". Misato and Shinji looked the TV that it was off, and the eyes seemed to defeat the darkness because both roommates could see more than previous moments.
"You don't need to ask me because the agents logged my entire routine in Kobe". Shinji showed a tough voice, and Misato recognized the anger in the words, but the procedure was very strict for the people that worked in official organizations. That explanation wasn't appropriate for Shinji that felt the same coldness that his father demonstrated with him many times, or exactly only few times in the last weeks. Shinji reminded the letter that Gendo sent to him weeks ago. "I have to ask you something"
"What?" Misato tried to show herself with strong according to her charge, but the current circumstances were very different, and she didn't know how to talk with Shinji without justify any action based on procedures or linking the Angels to the talking. She really wanted to talk with Shinji like a friend or a more kind tutor, but the distance between them were larger than the last time that they shared in Tokyo-3. Finally, the captain believed that Shinji was showing covered feelings related to his father, but that issue was more complicated because Misato felt really lost between both Ikaris that didn't share anything.
"I-I want to know if you know what I really did in Kobe...like the people that I met". Shinji wanted to keep in the deepest place in his heart, the experiences that he lived like the people because the danger that surrounded NERV itself was very unmanageable for any person. Misato didn't want to give more details contained in the Log.
"If I read your whole report...". Misato left the doubt in front of Shinji that immediately thought that Misato knew everything.
"Fine. I can understand about your Instantaneous Lines". Shinji reacted so bad because he left Misato alone in the living room. The captain asked him about the commentary, but Shinji completely ignore her. Finally, the boy returned to the room, but the sleep was gone.
Toji Suzuhara was hearing Kensuke that talked about the program designed by the Government for the homeless people after the battle. Kensuke mentioned the trouble with his father, and Toji offered his home again.
"I really appreciate your help, but you are in a hard situation". Kensuke didn't want to add more problems to Toji because his friend had to take care her sister without the oldest brother, a mother and a very distant father. The Government chose a tutor for the Suzuharas, but the visits were only occasional, but they received money.
"Friends share good things and the worst things. We are in bad moments Kensuke, and as your friend, it is duty to help you". Toji and Kensuke were talking in the little living room of the house.
"Thanks, I will have to tell to my father". Kensuke felt some sadness when his friend joined the talking like an issue.
"Both share a bad father. More reasons for being together". Kensuke felt sleepy and Toji decided to end the talking because the next days would be a proof for them.
"I wonder if Shinji came back because my father told that NERV had both Evangelions last night, but only a certain Unit killed the monster". Kensuke supposed it, and Toji said:
"If Shinji is in Tokyo-3 again, it is a good news". Kensuke tried to find the explanation for the sentence, but Toji only smiled. "If you see. We would three guys with very serious problems".
Akane Hidetoshi was working inside a huge storehouse in the Headquarters making inventory about many equipment for her Project Antarctica that pretended to analyze the red water that surrounded the point where the Second Impact changed the world. The Project received NERV Funds and the girl was assigned to the Top Secret Scientific Unit, where Ritsuko used to require the help of the girl according to the service. But, Akane reported with Kozo Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari in the details of the Project that it was labeled as Top Secret and even Misato didn't know the real details of the research that it was scheduled for Gendo Ikari that followed unknown instructions. The equipment were into boxes with specific codes for the Project, and Akane only read the codes with a special machine that it was very close to the DNA Readers that NERV put in each gate, door, hall, room or any place into the Headquarters and eventually in more strange places. Akane felt tired and the feeling increased when she watched the clock that marked the eight o'clock AM.
"The box number 232 is the last". Akane repeated herself the same sentence more time like not believing that the work was done, but she only made a record and the next stage according to the plan, it was the carry of the boxes to the vehicle that NERV would give to the Project. Akane tried to imagine how NERV would put the whole things into another place. A woman entered the storehouse and Akane said "good morning" very respectful.
"Miss Hidetoshi, it is nice to find her". Ritsuko Akagi looked the whole place and the walls were very high. "It is beautiful place".
"I agree with you doctor Akagi. I spent the entire night here and actually I didn't sleep". Akane share with Ritsuko the long hours where the boxes seemed to be a task that never would finish, but with the sunlight coming from the East, a fresh spirit invited to follow the work.
"Maybe, you have eyes with Laser because this walls and the meters between the Geo-Front and the surface were a strong boundary". Ritsuko felt a special feeling when Akane reminded that the Sun began the day when the people did their stuffs and the cities were alive.
"I missed time in the surface". Akane recognized some uncomfortable sensation during her work in the Headquarters, but Ritsuko told that time and patience could change the depression that the lack of natural light affected to the people that worked the most of the day underground. "At this time, I went my apartment and waited the bus for the College". Akane reminded more things about the classes and teachers. Ritsuko shared something and mentioned that Misato became her best friend during College. "I met her when Misato lived in Tokyo-2".
"I needed to find you because your help is necessary". Ritsuko gave to Akane a carpet with a designed program that included the future sync tests for the pilots. Akane was surprised when the list considered Shinji like a pilot, and Ritsuko explained that Shinji decided to rejoin NERV and Misato would be his tutor again.
"So, what do you want from me?" Akane wanted to know the exact role inside the plan considering the hard work that the Project demanded her.
"You have to watch Shinji because my Unit dont want to lose him again. The boy has a bond with the Evangelion, and a pilot is only a pilot like a manager in a enterprise. For some reason, the Evangelion protected him in certain times". Ritsuko proposed the role and Akane reminded when the Unit became a Berserker.
"Fine, I will do it doctor Akagi". Akane accepted the work and Ritsuko walked to the entrance.
"Akane, try to sleep something".
Almost one-hundred buses were waiting for the people that chose to leave Tokyo-2 because the Government gave them a new home in other Japanese cities if they lost their house and stuffs as the result of the attack. The remaining people decided to stay in the city and the Government offered money for paying the hostage in private homes or for supplying in the places where known people or relatives decided to offer a place. The shock was immense when they left Tokyo-2 because they lost their lives, but the city lost a whole sector. The JSSDF closed the Ground Zero with high fences and electric alarms, and some groups complained for the exaggerated safety precautions. The true lied in that NERV detected that the residential zone contained an EVA Socket and the underwater flown from the land to the surface and if someone entered the lake, the result could be very bad because the electric energy were contained inside the lake. The same background was watched by Gendo Ikari that heard the report from the different Units in the meeting room. Misato told about the state of the Evangelions, Ritsuko showed the researches from Shamshel, the Intelligence Unit detailed the safety around the Ground Zero, the Medical Unit put in context about the psychological problems as a direct side-effect of the loss of homes, and finally Kozo Fuyutsuki made a brief with the treated contents. Misato felt boring like always, but she wanted to talk with Gendo Ikari about Shinji because some things needed the opinion of the father like school, and some considerations that Gendo Ikari could proposed to the tutor. When, the Head left the meeting room, the captain walked from her position to Gendo Ikari that conceded the word to Misato.
"Commander Ikari, I want to talk with you about the pilot Shinji Ikari". Misato referred Shinji with a very formal language for not upsetting the commander with a direct mention of his son. Fuyutsuki heard Misato from behind.
"Okay, speak captain Katsuragi". Gendo Ikari accepted the inquiry and Misato felt some better, and the ideas were flowing into her mind, but finally a few words expressed the doubts that Misato had.
"NERV can change the primary conditions because Shinji Ikari decided to rejoin NERV, according to the procedures, and my doubt is related with those changes". Misato wanted to ensure that her tutorship under the new recruitment was in order, or maybe the father decided something different.
"If Shinji Ikari can synchronize with an Evangelion, there is no problem for maintaining the conditions that concerned her tutorship. Just do what Shinji needs". Gendo Ikari had a larger distance than Misato pretended for the talking. The coldness scared her, but her task was officially approved, despite the null relationship between Shinji and his father. Ikari and Fuyutsuki left the meeting room, and only Misato and Ritsuko stayed inside and looking the NERV logo in the ground screen. Ritsuko asked for the conversation and Misato celebrated the fact that Gendo Ikari decided to continue the tutorship, but the doctor realized that Misato felt a bit strange.
"He told that my task was to give the things that Shinji could need, and ironically Shinji needs a father". Misato reminded her own experience with an absent father during her childhood because the man was very busy in his work, and the complete loneliness in the adolescence when he died and her mother too. Ritsuko consoled her arguing that the times were different, but Misato gave a dark opinion.
"But the word Impact is surrounding us, like during my early years and like his early years". Misato thought in Shinji that was in the apartment. "He didn't sleep in the whole night and when I left the apartment, he could to close the eyes. But Shinji closes the eyes simulating to sleep". Ritsuko theorized that Shinji could be experiencing side-effects from the night in the Geo-Shelter and the Battle, because both events occurred in few hours. "Maybe you are right, but Shinji was talking alone during the night like telling his own perfect battle where the pilot was available from the beginning". Ritsuko smiled and said:
"It is the blame". Ritsuko moved the eyebrows like a signal for an obvious thing, and Misato didn't gave guilt to Shinji, but Ritsuko replied that the same captain kept very distant with Shinji during the battle.
"He put me in danger because I didn't know what he would do with the robot, and his running from Kobe to Tokyo-3 were stupid". Misato stopped the talking because a bad feeling invaded her, and she recognized that a guilt feeling was in her mind during the night.
"I don't want to judge him". Ritsuko and Misato looked each other like not wishing to talk more about Shinji because a common feeling was between them.
The Twelve members of SEELE were around Gendo Ikari in the dark room, and the meeting was about the last battle against Shamshel. Keel Lorenz mentioned the word "Shamshel" as a direct reference to the Angel, and Gendo Ikari told the events of the last night. Some members were angry because the EVA-01 was forced to do inappropriate things like a induced Berserk Mode.
"Ikari, the Evangelion were made only for defeating Angels and in last instance for helping us in the last time". Keel Lorenz reminded once the true objective that SEELE gave to NERV. Gendo Ikari mentioned that the Evangelions had own variables out of the pilot or remote control. "Maybe, the problem lies in its pilot. Was it a good idea that your son be the pilot". Ikari only talked about the good sync between Shinji and the Evangelion.
"The sync will not be necessary in the future". An unknown member talked about the next mankind like a perfect place where the boundaries among humans were part of the past. "The sync is required because the pilot is not merged with the Evangelion, it is like the people are merged with their own spirits or maybe the leap is our only way for achieving a constant and instantaneous existence". Keel Lorenz shut up the member, and the rest of the black columns with the label "SOUND ONLY" commented the deadlines, and Gendo Ikari promised to respect the conditions.
"I am working on that very strongly, and I am promising it". Keel Lorenz said that SEELE was trusting in Ikari, yet.
Shinji was sleeping on the floor with Pen Pen that ate dry fish, and Misato opened the door when the clock marked the midday. The captain examined Shinji during his sleeping.
"Oh Shinji, the day is your night, and your schedule was made opposite to you". Misato went to her room changed the uniform for her typical wearing in the house. Pen Pen made friendly noises when Misato returned to the living room and trying to wake up Shinji. The teenager opened the eyes and the sunlight blinded him. "Hello Shinji".
"Misato, you are here". Shinji talked very slowly because the light really affected his eyes, and Misato move the curtains. "What time is it?" Pen Pen touched Shinji with its face.
"Shinji, I decided to cut my shift because I need to examine you". Misato realized how Shinji reacted some disturbed when she mentioned an examination.
"What is wrong?" Shinji inquired with anger, but keeping respect.
"Medical Exams, it is the routine". Misato mentioned a session in the Medical Unit and reminded when Rei had to spent hours after the battle, and maybe the doctor could give you a license.
"Why would I need a license?" Shinji replied Misato that opened the curtain very quickly. "Shit!"
"For this. You are suffering photophobia and maybe insomnia. I am sorry but if you wanted to come back here, you have to be a pilot and not a troubled teenager". Misato talked as the captain and Shinji felt the temptation for be rebel against his captain, but the duty was stronger.
"Okay, I will go to the doctor like you said captain". Shinji left the living room wearing his pajama, but Misato stopped him.
"You are leaving me alone during a conversation. I really think that you are not a rebel teenager, but you are a kid. Be a pilot is more than politeness and perfect scores, I am talking about the person in his integrity. You are not only a pilot. Don't forget this". Shinji went to the room and Misato followed Shinji that wanted to close the door but Misato entered to the room with him. They sat on the bed.
"I am sorry". Shinji was depressed, and lied on the bed. "I am sleepy again".
"Look, I will leave you alone but it is important that you hear me. A doctor must define your medical stats because Ritsuko needs to know if a medical license is necessary and she would change the schedule". Misato showed the Shinji a book.
"Will I come back to the school?" Shinji asked for the classes and Misato confirmed that the schedule considered the school.
"You have to attend classes and see your classmates. It is so obvious Shinji, that you need to live like other boys. And you are a pilot". Misato realized that Shinji smiled when they talked about school. "I am giving a chance for being more than a pilot, and I know that you really hate to be a pilot". Shinji looked Misato with tears in the eyes.
"Okay, it is fine". Shinji didn't want to cry and Misato felt how Shinji was struggling with the sadness.
"Thanks". Misato greeted Shinji and left the room. The boy cried when Misato closed the door behind her.
The authorities planned the opening of the First Tokyo-3 High School two days after the double incident with the robot and the Angel, and like a way for closing and showing the joined spirit that belonged to the Japanese people, they invited to the student to arrange the school for the opening.
"It is a nice day". Kensuke commented to Toji during the walking from the apartment to the school.
"Yeah, I wonder how many people decided to leave Tokyo-3?" Toji watched that Rei Ayanami was entering the gates of the school.
"Almost 6,454 people". Kensuke surprised Toji with the answer and the friend replied him about the information source. "My father told me, but I don't want to know more details because if he say that the military life is not properly for a boy that only wants to be with his father. I really prefer not involve in such things". Kensuke felt sadness, but Toji reminded that he wasn't alone.
"We are here but I feel a strange sensation". Toji couldn't describe the new feelings because the disaster in Tokyo-3 disturbed the whole life of the people. They were relocating their lives.
Hikari Horaki was organized the class 2-A for the tasks that the Headmaster assigned to the students like clean classrooms, to teach delay sessions with the teachers that came to the day, too. Toji and Kensuke joined their class, and Rei was hearing the instructions but looking the windows like always.
"Look, it is Rei Ayanami". Kensuke commented about the girl that didn't speak with anyone, but the classmates didn't care very much about her.
"No doubt, she was involved that night and maybe she met Shinji". Toji was pretty sure that Rei knew information about the Third Children because the reports talked about both Evangelions in the scene. Kensuke wasn't to ask Rei because he didn't feel good, and Toji promised to talk with Rei during the day in the school. After the instructions, Hikari guided a group to the hall and they had to clean the windows, and the remaining students would have to clean the classroom.
Maya Ibuki was talking with someone during a meeting between her, Ritsuko, Misato and German Scientists that worked in the German Branch. The topic of the meeting according to the slides were related with the set up of the Instantaneous System, that it was developed in NERV Germany and the Headquarters had to add it into MAGI system in the next months. A chart showed the deadlines of the project, and Ritsuko asked for the firewalls that could prevent a bad reaction from MAGI to the Instantaneous System, or also known as IS. Misato felt that Ritsuko explained the possible reaction of the System like a very important issue, but the thoughts were beyond simple concerns about computers, codes or something. Maya confirmed that the firewall could be very effective, but Ritsuko insisted in the low probability of failure. Misato smiled when Ritsuko showed the probabilities, and reminded how the same doctor rejected the poor scores that the captain showed supporting her strategy during the battle against Shamshel. The entire meeting was being watched from Gendo`s office and he repeated the name "Shamshel" in his mind. Kozo Fuyutsuki was with him like always, but quiet.
"...thanks for your patience during the connection between the camera and the slides". Misato apologized a delay before the meeting. She talked in German, and the scientists reminded when Misato worked in the German Branch after her graduation. Finally, the meeting ended and Maya felt a bit relaxed because she joked with the delay.
"It was boring". Ritsuko seemed to be tired and Misato recommended to take some free hours because the most of the employees were freed during the day, because the Commander approved that only maintenance tasks were executed during the day. "What about your pilot?" Misato only told that Shinji was at home and probably sleeping with Pen Pen, because it was the only thing that he did during the day.
"Captain Katsuragi, the Medical Unit received the requirement from our Unit for Shinji". Maya showed to Misato a document where the Scientific Unit wanted to have the medical stats because MAGI needed to design the scheduled according to the data. Misato promised that Shinji would visit NERV tomorrow.
"Okay, but it is important to show the exams to the Commander Ikari". Ritsuko realized when Misato heard the word "Ikari" and smiled ironically. "I don't know if it is a real concern".
"Are you disagreeing with your commander?" Misato joked with Ritsuko that tried to ignore the question. "Shinji is like a pendulum, because that night he took the Evangelion and ran from Kobe to Tokyo-3, and he is totally depressed right now. There is no a middle point". Misato felt lost and Maya suggested about a possible stress.
"Please, bring him tomorrow here because the sync stats were correlated with the mind". Ritsuko left the meeting the room very quickly. Misato looked Maya how finding an explanation for the behavior.
"I don't know but the Instantaneous System is the guilty. Maybe, it is the tense". Maya explained that Ritsuko worked during nights writing an own firewall for MAGI. "Doctor Akagi wants to protect MAGI".
"I really thought that her cats are the only living things that she loves". Misato apologized very quickly when Maya looked her very serious after the joke.
"Excuse me, captain but I need to go". Maya made a reverence, and Misato stayed alone in the meeting room but the silence were nice because the walls really isolated the room to the rest of the complex.
"These walls were made for not hearing from outside. A secret lied here, but it was late for hear it".
Misato spoke very slow, and the weight of her words only have sense for her.
Pen Pen was taking a shower before to sleep because the lights of the apartment were very soft, and only Misato was in the living room watching the TV and drinking beer. She opened the freezer to Pen Pen that enter its home.
"Good night". Misato closed the door, and Shinji appeared in the hall. "Shinji, are you right?"
"Yes, I am fine". Shinji joined Misato in the living room, and the captain commented about a show where many people was talking stories about ghosts. "My tutor didn't want to show that to me when we lived together". Misato smiled and Shinji was tempted to say "excuse me" because it was out of place to mention the former tutor as the tutor, if Misato was it. But, at the same time she understood the remember.
Stress
"I didn't believe them". Misato tried to comment the TV show and Shinji heard the stories during a while, but Misato changed the channel many times only finding the Public Channel with news.
"They repaired the Shinkansen". Shinji pointed a special coverage where the Government rebuilt the destroyed line between Tokyo-3 and Kobe in few hours using advanced technology.
"Yeah, it was very fast". Misato reminded the Log that explained what Shinji did in Kobe and the people that he met. At the same time, Shinji reminded their friends in the city and Heizo`s toy.
What you promised to them
Shinji looked Misato feeling something, and the captain smiled to him.
"But, the plane was faster". Shinji heard music with the MP3 player and Misato asked him for the commentary. "When I traveled to Kobe, a plane flied over Mount Fuji. Maybe, it was part of the JSSDF forces". Misato reminded the brief conflict between Japan, China and South Korea after the destruction of the Octahedron.
"Fortunately, you didn't run on the top of Mount Fuji that night. The whole country would want to kill you". Misato received a report with the environmental damages after each battle, but the report only was read few times. Shinji smiled and changed the channel. "Come on, choose something that you like". Shinji pushed the buttons changing the different channels, and the last signal was about animals and lakes.
"I don't know what you like". Shinji pointed his MP3 player like his real distraction, and Misato wanted to ask about the music, but a remember lied in her mind and told it.
"I really watch much TV during my adolescence. They put me in front of the TV". Misato watched herself younger and surrounded for walls, and the TV showed people talking. Shinji heard her very carefully, because he felt that many people was telling him things, and he didn't heard properly.
"Your parents?" Shinji imagined that Misato`s parents were involved, but the captain immediately denied it.
"My-My father died when I was twelve". Misato looked Shinji with a sad smile in the face, and Shinji nodded like understanding. "When a shock occurs, the words can be deleted from your mouth and your head". Shinji tried to follow Misato, but the same words are very cryptic for him, and maybe the thing wasn't to ask more, but now the remembers invaded him.
Okay, if she is not your mother, tutor, friend, maybe she is your girlfriend and you are escaping from Tokyo-3.
She is not my girlfriend, but I wasn't much close to her.
"I am sorry Misato". Shinji shared the feeling with the captain that realized how Shinji tried to be more kind with her, but huge walls were between them, and the mystery lied about who was building the walls that kept the secrets at each side waiting for crashing.
"Look, I know that you wanted to meet your tutor, but he dead before your arriving at Kobe. I didn't know it until to receive the Log from Intelligence Unit. You always mentioned him, the few times that you spoke with me, and I am really sorry Shinji. I ignore why his death wasn't told you at the proper time." Misato didn't want to depress Shinji, but the tension between them was increasing and maybe to tell the truths at its time, it could be less painful that not tell anything. Shinji commented about the empty house and the few things that he could bring.
"Obviously, you know about the people that I met after". Shinji and Misato talked the same language and the answer was obvious like the eloquence that Shinji demonstrated with the inquiry.
"I only read a list of things and not feelings. Do you remember when I told that if the Instantaneous System could track our deepest feelings or Instantaneous feelings, the world would come to the end?" Shinji nodded immediately, because he was very intrigued with the issue. Misato linked that with the Prime Minister's resign and the chance for putting a computer to guide the Government.
"The real log is with you, and you are the only person that can to tell it. The things that you lived those hours belonged to you. Maybe I am crazy, but I am afraid of not tell anything with emotion".
Maybe, I am a person without emotions, and Misato always talks about it.
But, I always feel that it is not necessary to tell everything.
Maybe, I am wrong because many people told me that to bring from inside to outside.
How many times did you say maybe?
Twice.
Why do I always repeat things that she would tell me during training?
Perhaps, I always wanted to be a pilot.
But, she was right...I hate to be a pilot.
Misato always talks me about the things that she hates.
Or, she really hates her job like me.
Ritsuko Akagi followed the sync stats that Shinji achieved during his first test after the rejoining, and the results were displayed in the computers with MAGI`s analysis. Misato watched the pilot through a monitor with Akane that spent some time in the Scientific Unit after the beginning of the Project Antarctica.
"Captain Katsuragi, the pilot is reaching the zero-zero point". Maya kept the LCL at normal concentration, and Misato asked for the core parameters of the EVA-01, and the technicians reported null activity related with the Berserk Mode.
"Your pilot is doing great effort. Good job". Ritsuko pointed the charts where the stats demonstrated that the zero-zero point was reached with the mental dirtiness versus the sync with their marginal or instantaneous rates close to zero. "He is using the stress".
"I see that Shinji could be a perfect pilot, but nothing about his great scores are useful for a normal life". Misato told that Shinji couldn't sleep another night and explained to Ritsuko the things that he lived in Kobe according to the log. "Just, don't say anything because the log was only between my unit and Intelligence".
"I really appreciate your help. I need a good pilot and you need a good man". Ritsuko and Misato interchanged a smiled but being very carefully about the top secret information.
"I was thinking about to help him". Misato received a letter from Maya that contained the stats of the test because the Scientific Unit needed the signature for approving the test. "Maybe, Shinji needs a routine because the day and the night are the same thing for him right now. I really consider the chance that to send Shinji to the school tomorrow morning".
"Yeah, his mind will avoid stressful thoughts if he shares with classmates. Actually, the school will reopen tomorrow". Ritsuko ordered to reduce the concentration because the test ended and Shinji heard Maya`s instructions.
You can breath normal again pilot Ikari.
The test ended with good results. Congratulations.
"Shinji, how are you?" Misato asked him when the LCL left the Entry Plug from below and the EVA-01 was disconnected.
"I am fine, captain Katsuragi. I am trying to resist, what about you?"
"Me too".
N/A: Well, the chapter ends here. I always think about how to end any chapter and the final results differs from the first thought. Thanks for reading me and share your comments with me. About the reviews, I really recognize that the first chapter was awful. Best wishes for everyone!
