or The Unknown Angel
Gendo Ikari is sitting in his huge office, eyeing NERV's budget for 2014, as a sudden sparkle of light catches his attention. That, and someone playing the trumpet rather badly.
As he looks up from the his papers, he can see a figure hovering about two feet above the floor. It is dressed in a blue nightgown, has wings, and a huge halo of light playing around it.
Damn critters. Gendo pushes a button underneath his desk. Deep down in the Geo-front, something stirs.
"Behold, mortal, the messenger of the Lord!" the creature cries out, in a shrill voice. "Behold the carrier of the divine will! The celestial..!"
"Blablabla. Yea, I know the drill." Gendo grins at the angel. "What do you want?"
Somewhat taken aback, but intent on following through, the angel goes on. "I bring a message from the Lord of Heaven and Earth, to you, oh lowly mortal!"
Smiling, Gendo motions for the angel to go on.
"Know that the Lord can see into your heart, and that he knows of your most secret plans!"
"I'm sure he does." Gendo glances at his watch. It shouldn't be long, now...
"And know! Mortal! That the Lord knows of your desire to end the world. And know, that your attempts to go against the heavenly plans of our most holy..."
A single, huge eye stares in through the panorama windows.
"...most holy...er..? Gack!"
A hand the size of a minibus yanks the angel out of the office. Some startled yelps can be heard, and a few feathers drift in through the hole left by unit 00's arm.
Lowly mortal, my ass, Gendo thinks. God is definitely going to have to shape up if he wants to play ball with the big boys.
