Chapter 10 – Sayonara SEELE
On the other side of the planet in the United States, Massachusetts, the First Branch of NERV was getting ready to deploy their Mass Produced EVA.
Everyone was at his or her posts as the white-coloured, incredibly ugly EVA was being readied for deployment.
"Inserting Kaworu Dummy Plug," a female technician in the control room said, pushing buttons.
The Dummy Plug was inserted into the EVA.
"All systems go," another technician said, "Verify target: NERV Japan."
Meanwhile standing guard outside the facility, which was situated on the surface, two guards stood watch.
"Godd#$#," one of them said, "This is so f#$#ing boring."
"I agree," the other said, lighting a cigarette.
Suddenly…
"ACK!"
The guard felt cold steel slice into his neck.
"KKK!"
And so did the other guard. They're bodies dropped on the concrete ground and standing by their corpses was a masked woman dressed in tight leather. She reached for her radio.
"The entrance is sealed," she reported, "Set the bomb!"
In the control room, the power suddenly went off.
"Hey," the chief tech said, "What's going on."
Suddenly, they all heard a massive explosion!
"SON OF A BITCH!" a technician cried.
The entrance was blown in, taking out several personnel and guards. One of them got up groggily from the floor, and saw a group of heavily armed men dressed in black, standing where the large metallic door was.
"Oh no," he moaned.
He then felt a bullet hit him in the head, ending his short career with NERV.
The NERV branch in the United Kingdom was also in chaos. In control, the staff had barred the door while they heard the transmissions of distress from the surface
This is surface control, where under attack by Black Operatives. I repeat: Black Ops have engaged us…no…wait…AHHH!
OH GOD NO! PLEASE…
MERCY!
Black Ops rappelled down from their Ospreys and begun to massacre everyone in the NERV facility in Britain.
They breached the facility…
"This is Strike Force Charlie to commander Cubbage," an Assassin said into his com, "We've breached the complex."
Good work, the person on the other line said, Secure the Evangelion Unit and extract any technology that you find. As for the personnel: No witnesses.
"Yes sir," the Black Op said, loading his submachine-gun, then thought 'This is easier than Black Mesa.' He recalled his near escape from the dreaded Black Mesa Research Facility.
At the NERV facility in China, bodies of the dead personnel lined the blood-splattered hallways. Black Op Assassins patrolled the corridors, finishing off any that were still alive and breathing. A female assassin noticed movement among the bodies and put a stop to it with her silenced M4.
The control room was no better. Dead technicians slumped over their terminals as Black Ops admired their handiwork, while a female assassin was working a terminal and Black Ops officer busy communicating…
"We've secured NERV China," the Black Ops officer said, "We are currently reprogramming Unit-08 and are extracting the technology we can find here."
Has the package been delivered, captain? a raspy voice on the other line asked,
"It's been delivered sir," the officer said, "It will detonate in 30 minutes."
Excellent, you have all done very well. My employers will be most pleased that when they arrive, there won't be anything for them.
The Black Op smiled, "Thank you sir. Out!"
He then turned to the assassin working the laptop.
"Report."
"Unit-08 has been reprogrammed, sir," the assassin replied, "Setting destination."
She typed some more, and sure enough the words of the new destination appeared on her screen in red letters.
SEELE COMMAND, ISRAEL.
SEELE all this time was located beneath what remained under Jerusalem, Israel. Inside the massive subterranean facility, the council members and SEELE's supposedly leader Keel Lorenz met. There wasn't much of Lorenz left, him being almost rebuilt into a cyborg.
The twelve SEELE members were seated in the meeting room.
"The time has almost arrived, brothers," Lorenz begun, "The EVAs will soon be ours, Freeman and Ikari will soon be finished and with Instrumentality and with the arrival of the Union, there will be nothing but good times ahead for all of humanity."
"Breen hasn't arrived in Jerusalem yet," SEELE-06 said, "We cannot begin Instrumentality without him."
"Breen is of no importance to us," Lorenz said, "Neither is the Supreme head of NERV."
"You can't be referring to him?" SEELE-02 asked, worried.
"All this time, he hasn't noticed our own plans behind his back," Lorenz said, "For he was too occupied with Black Mesa and Freeman, he does not know that we intend to control this pitiful world with the Union by our sides."
"But what if he was to find out?" SEELE-07 asked.
"He will never find out," Lorenz replied, smiling, "He trusts us. His employers trust us."
"Trust is a subject we should discuss, Mr. Lorenz," a sinister voice echoed around him.
Everyone froze in horror.
'Oh God,' Lorenz thought.
Emerging from the shadows was the G-Man, accompanied by 2 Black Ops.
"Master!" Lorenz cried, "Wha…what brings you here?"
"Many disturbing issue bring me here," the G-Man said, frowning.
"We can explain," SEELE-07 begun, "We would never betray…"
Suddenly, the Black Ops fired their submachine-guns at him. His bullet riddled body slumped over the desk. The council member's faces were that of horror.
The G-Man cleared his throat, before going on, "Why do you think I established SEELE and NERV, Mr. Lorenz?"
"To protect Earth from the Angels," Lorenz answered, panic slipping into his voice, "For humanity…"
"For my employers," the G-Man corrected.
"R…right," Lorenz said, wiping his forebrow.
The G-Man smiled, "You look anxious, Lorenz."
"Do...do I?" Lorenz said.
The G-Man begun to circle the table, his Black Ops standing guard.
"I know what you councillors are thinking," the G-Man said in his raspy tone, "How can the Supreme head of NERV know of our intentions? How can the Supreme Head of NERV put his faith in an individual like Freeman? Why isn't he stopping Third Impact? I can answer that."
The G-Man stopped walking and stood behind Lorenz.
"My faith in Gordon Freeman and the pilots are strong," the G-Man said, "I have persuaded my employers tirelessly in accepting them as well. Anything that would stop the Union from conquering all life in the universe."
Lorenz frowned.
"No one can stop the Union," Lorenz argued, "They control most of the universe and when they arrive here on Earth, they will take it over and destroy Freeman and those inept children."
The G-Man smiled, "Now I know who managed to extract you from Antarctica and give you back your sight, Mr. Lorenz. And that you owe them a debt. "
Lorenz mouth opened in shock.
"Before you all die, there is no harm in telling you this," the G-Man said, "I knew from the start you people would turn to the Union, just like Breen, it was part of my little game that involves the Angels and NERV Japan. I oversaw the battles between the Angels and the pilots, not to mention their overall progress. Especially Shinji Ikari."
"The traitor Gendo Ikari's son!" SEELE-04 exclaimed.
"Exactly," the G-Man said, "By rights, Third Impact should have happened. But I personally saw to it that it didn't happen."
"YOU SAT US ALL UP!" Lorenz cried.
"You could say that," the G-Man smirked, "And now that I have found willing prospective recruits, I have no use for you councillors, or SEELE and NERV for that matter."
"But…!" SEELE-10 tried to protest, but ended up getting shot by the Black Ops. The blood now stained the table.
"The NERVs will now be sterilised. The technology found there will be taken to secure locations and you people will now die by your own creations…no…my creations."
"The Mass-Produced EVAs?" Lorenz cried again.
The G-Man nodded, "Goodbye SEELE. When you go to hell, expect all those that Freeman will slay in the future to keep you company."
The G-Man smiled and he and his Black Ops were teleported out of the room.
Uncertainty faced Lorenz. He and SEELE had betrayed his employees, and now they were paying the price.
"What have we done?" Lorenz moaned.
Suddenly, several huge lances tore into the room, tearing the councillors apart. Lorenz screamed as he was eviscerated.
The white coloured MP EVA were attacking the ruins of Jerusalem, driving their lances deep into it. Then they sat about tearing the city apart, then they turned on one another.
The last surviving MP EVA self-destructed, at the same time as the NERVs around the globe, except Japan, was destroyed by the nuclear warheads brought in by the Black Ops.
SEELE was now history, along with most of NERV.
