The next day, hell began for a certain group of people in North America.
At the same time, sinister laugher could be heard coming from several rooms
in NERV, two rooms and a refrigerator in one apartment complex, and another
from a broken down apartment.
In one particular room, Gendo Ikari sat at his desk in his usual position, staring at a screen in front of him.
Gendo: No one screws up my voice and gets away with it.
On the screen, Unit 01 could be seen rampaging through a certain area in North America.
Gendo: ...and my wife's fights scenes. And they thought I was evil...
Unknown to Gendo, who rarely didn't know everything, the workers at the certain location were having more problems than a raging Unit 01.
Supervisor: What the hell is going on around here?!
Worker 1: I don't know, sir! Everything is just mass chaos!!
Supervisor: Why is there a giant...purple thing tearing up the cars outside?!
Worker 1: I don't know. If I were to say something, I would say it was an Eva...Unit 01 to be exact.
Supervisor: What do...
He is cut off as an explosion echoes through the building.
Supervisor: What was THAT?!
Worker 1: It sounded like it came from the computer center.
The Supervisor rushes down to the computer center, only to see a cloud of black smoke pouring out from the door. He rushes inside.
Supervisor: What the...? What happened here?
Worker 2: *dusts himself off as he stands up from the floor* I don't know! The computers just began to...
He is cut off as one of the computers suddenly starts to make strange noises, and then explodes.
Worker 2: ...explode...
Supervisor: Why are they exploding?!
Worker 2: As far as I can tell, something is access our systems and overloading them big time.
Supervisor: Well, cut them off!!
Worker 2: As I said, I'm just guessing. I can't find anything accessing our computers. It's as if the computers are just doing it themselves!
Supervisor: I don't care how you do it, just stop the computers from exploding!!
The Supervisor exits the room. As he turns a corner, he can hear another computer explode behind him.
Supervisor: Where are the other workers?!
Worker 3: They're all sick, sir.
Supervisor: Sick? All of them!?
Worker 3: Yeah. They all got sick after eating that large gift of food we got this morning.
Supervisor: You mean it was all poisoned?!
Worker 3: Yes.
Supervisor: What did they come down with?
Worker 3: It varies. People came down with diarrhea, headaches, fevers, migraines, cramps, constant urination, blurry vision, ringing ears, constipation, numbness in one or more limbs...
Supervisor: I get the idea...
He walks off.
Worker 4: Sir!
Supervisor: What is it?
Worker 4: You have to see it for yourself.
He walks over to the computer the worker is sitting at.
Worker 4: Look at the screen.
The Supervisor looks over at the monitor. His eyes almost fall out of his head.
Supervisor: What are THOSE?!!
On the screen, a SD Unit 00 is stabbing at a desktop shortcut icon with its Progressive Knife.
Worker 4: I think it's a virus.
Supervisor: What kind of virus is THAT?! And what happened there?
He points to a black blotch on the monitor just below the icon the SD Unit 00 was turning into Swiss cheese.
Worker 4: That was the icon that it blasted with a Positron Rifle earlier.
Supervisor: This CAN'T be happening...
Worker 4: And then there's this.
The Supervisor looks at another monitor. Several SD Pen-Pens are running around the screen, leaving black footprints as they scurry across the screen in random directions.
Supervisor: Another virus...?
Worker 4: Yup.
Supervisor: I don't care what you do, just fix it!
He leaves the worker, rubbing his forehead as his headache gets worse.
Supervisor: It can't get any worse...
Worker 5: Sir!
Supervisor: Damn it all... What?
Worker 5: Sir, our E-Mail systems are crashing!!
Supervisor: WHAT?!!!
Worker 5: The system can't handle the amount of E-Mails being sent to us!
Supervisor: Don't we have the most sophisticated and largest E-Mail system around?
Worker 5: Yes, but it can't handle this. We're getting over a million E- Mails a second! Some of the circuit boards have already melted under the stress.
Supervisor: How is that possible?
Worker 5: I don't know! No one should be able to mail-bomb this fast, even with the latest programs out there.
Supervisor: I don't care what you do, just fix it!
He rushes out of the room and into his office, slamming the door shut behind him. With a sigh, he slumps in his chair.
Supervisor: Who could be doing all of this?!
A large clatter interrupts him. He rushes to his window and looks outside, only to fall over backwards in shock. Outside, hundreds of empty Yebisu beer cars surround the building.
Supervisor: What did I do to deserve this?!!
Elsewhere, the bridge bunnies glance around before checking on their hidden 'Project Overload' program running on the MAGI.
In her office, Ritsuko sips her coffee as her custom mail-bombing program continues its work, via the MAGI, of course.
Misato leans back in her chair at her desk. The monitor in front of her shows an aerial view of a certain building in North America, surrounded by Yebisu beer.
Misato: Edit out my beer, will you? Hope you guys recycle.
At another console, a small, sinister grin can be seen on Rei as she watches her little Unit 00 continue to devour the computer systems. An anti-virus program attempts to stop it, taking the form of a missile, only to be stopped and destroyed by her programs 'AT Field.'
Rei: Revenge is sweet.
At the Katsuragi apartment, a certain penguin sits back with a can of Yebisu beer as its virus program works.
In another room at the Katsuragi apartment, Shinji lies on his bed listening to his SDAT, a large grin on his face. In his trashcan appear to be the torn remains of receipts for food items and several air-tight vitals, each with a bio-warning label on them.
**End**
Author's rants: I know, I know. It's too short, but I just had to get this out of my system. I mean, who ever edited Eva for Toonami screwed it up royally. I know that Eva fans will agree with me that Misato without her Yebisu beer is totally, and utterly, WRONG. Misato need to have her beer! It's what makes Misato, um, well, Misato! And what person would want to cut out Pen-Pen? Pen-Pen is just as important as any of the other characters (and his introduction scene is just hilarious!). I know that I will probably get flamed for this, but I just had to write this and express the horror and sadness I felt when I read what was edited. This is one reason why I watch anime, in Japanese, with subtitles. Now, I think I'll cleanse myself of this evil and watch my Evangelion DVDs...
