Harbinger was pleased.
This world was unusual. Extensive research had to be undertaken to make sense of the things that went on here. The Reapers' arsenal would be greatly enhanced by the addition of the AT-Field.
Of course, the quest to unlock the potential hidden in this world's organics had been difficult. Harbinger had been forced to hold back and perform measured attacks against the Geo-Front area in order to find out its secrets. This had the unfortunate side effect of allowing the organics to adapt to the situation and kill several Reapers. Moreover, the Evangelion Pilots had turned out to be immune to Indoctrination, and others were protected against it. Not many people wanted to "become one soul, one body, end all suffering".
Today it would be finished. Ground forces have already penetrated the Geo-Front, and the defenders were hopelessly outmatched. They still had one prototype Evangelion and nine mass-produced models, but the Reapers were already in possession of the AT-Field. Victory was assured.
Although… It was good that the other pilot did not join the fight. He was the one that had destroyed the most Reapers, and he had been observed performing great feats of AT-Field control; theoretical models had to be rewritten each time. He could have performed a non-standard action again if he had chosen to participate in the final battle.
He should be taken alive. He could prove… useful. Perhaps he would be repurposed as the core of a new Reaper.
If I must tear you apart, Ikari… I will.
