'Thoughts'
"Speech"
Chapter 4: Calm Before The Storm
Though SEELE has been disbanded, and the members killed, their "meeting place" has survived, and is currently being used for the forces of good. Of course, that depends on the way you think of the terms 'good' and 'evil', but for the purposes of this story, the term 'good' refers to anyone against the Angels, namely, all of mankind.
"Tell me, what are those things" a short female figure said.
"We cannot confirm it, but we believe them to be…Angels" one voice said.
"How do you suppose we fight them, if they are Angels, without the Evangelion units?" said another voice.
Of course, being the old SEELE conference room, none of the "members" could clearly make out the other people that they were talking to.
"I suggest that we build more" said the female voice again. "Or we come up with something similar."
"And how do you suppose we are supposed to find people to "pilot" these monstrosities?" said one of the voices.
"We should already have one. His name is Shinji Ikari."
"What about that German girl?"
"She is useless. She has contracted some sort of metal illness, so we cannot use her. For the time being, however, I believe we should only need two" the female figure said.
"Then who is the other pilot?"
"You forget, I am Rei Ayanami, former First Child of the Evangelion Experiment."
No one said a word for a few minutes as they were clearly letting the fact that was just said soak into their brains, until someone finally broke the silence.
"So, how are we supposed to rebuild the Evangelion Units?"
"I can tell you how, but, we will need someone like Dr. Akagi to be able to do everything, and it will take several months as well. Luckily the NERV building is still available for use, so I suggest that we use it for this entire project."
"That seems like a good idea, however, I do not think that we can call them Evangelion Units."
"Then what should we call them?" Rei asked.
"For now, we should just keep the same name. It doesn't really matter what we call them as long as they do what they are designed to do" one of the voices said.
"I agree" Rei said. "Then, let's restart the Evangelion Project."
All of the "members" agreed, and disappeared one by one to do their jobs.
AN: Short chapter, yes I know, you don't need to tell me that.
