No one could remember exactly how long it had been since the last battle between the Angels and the EVA units. But the world had been thrown into turmoil afterwards, and it had not yet recovered.
Land was a high commodity, since so much had been ruined when the last attack had come. It was coveted jealously by those who held it, and was sold at high rates to those who wanted it. Politics played a high role in the world structure...where politics could be played. Countries were divided by anarchy in poor areas where the land was ruined beyond hope to high dictatorship in areas where the land was richer.
Beneath the City of Night, a secret waited patiently for discovery.
Tokyo-3 had been hit the worst by the final attack, and it now lay in ruins beneath an eternal cloud that boiled blackly. It poured flash floods from its dark depths, lightning erupted constantly from one part or another. No one dared to go near it, much less in it, for very long, for it was worth your life to stay too long.
Signs still hang, warning of the danger.
One man, Adam Carson, a travelling man who roamed the world, looking for salvages that would be worth a lot of money, dared to enter the ruins of Tokyo-3. He was inside for months, and when he emerged, he barely escaped for his life. But he had what he had been looking for...evidence of NERV and the infamous EVA units.
The Night is watching.
Adam Carson has kept the secret of Tokyo-3 for twenty years. Now he has the money he needs to carry out his plan...
The secret uncovered.
He plans the excavate NERV headquarters and resurrect the Evangelion units.
The secret awake.
