I'd suggest not relying on anything you know about the show. Whether it's in regards to what the Evangelions are, how they work, the tactics Angels use, the Angel's goals, what actually happened during Second Impact, what exactly is in Terminal Dogma, and the goals of miscellaneous organizations.

Some of it will be similar to the show/movies, some of it won't be.

Please note that NERV India does not do Weapons R&D or Manufacture. 'Equipment' does not cover them.

Bumping this because you can still sign up and as far as I know Muug's still opening up a 2nd branch so we need more pilots.

Today and tomorrow and pretty much for the rest of the week, I'm going to start getting people started with final touches on character bios and help with their Evas. Please join #Ymir to discuss it, and please have your bios finished ASAP.

Front page has also been edited.

Already have a draft up on my original character post but I'll also put a copy up in this post as well.
Spoiler!
Victoria Sabatier was born the same year 2nd impact occurred, being the first and only child of her parents who were killed a few months after during the ecological and political shock resulting from 2nd impact. She was collected by a group of survivors who dropped her off at an orphanage where she was then allowed to stay. Unfortunately due to the chaos in the government at the time, there was no real regulation of the place so children were forced to do labor and were abused if they didn't meet the staff's standards. Victoria in particular was called "useless" one too many times as well as beaten. It sunk in, turning her into somewhat of a perfectionist with her work, if only to avoid the emotional abuse.

Eventually the government cracked down on the facility, removing the children and charging the staff for their abuses. The children were quickly distributed to foster homes and also adopted if they were lucky. Victoria however wasn't one of the lucky ones. She was bounced between various foster homes till NERV did a local sync test on the children of the town she was in at the time, finding she showed a positive aptitude for synchronizing. She was soon collected by NERV and sent to NERV Boston for initiation, her foster parents somewhat sad to see her go but not completely attached to her. By the age of 9 she was sent to NERV 2nd branch Nevada for training.

During her 5 years of training she continued to show her prior developed perfectionist streak and did decently at her tasks and tests, though if she didn't do as well as she set out to do she would beat herself up emotionally inside, this giving another hit to her personal morale. She still has a few physical scars on her back and chest from the beatings she received earlier in her life, while they are small they run deep and still pain her in times of duress.
I also got a picture of sorts, it's also on the original character post now as well.

Sayuri regained conciousness as the LCL drained from the cylinder in Terminal Dogma. Dr. Desai, Commander Winters, and Colonel Tsien stared at her shivering as the cylinder retracted. After all, she wasn't wearing anything. "How are you feeling, Sayuri?" Tsien asked.

Sayuri trembles against the cold, and crosses her arms over her chest, averting her eyes briefly as her cheeks flush crimson, before turning her gaze back towards Tsien, "I feel all right, Colonel." She says quietly, lowering her arms to her side, "No worse than usual."

Commander Winters turned to Desai. "How is she, Desireé?" In response, the doctor nodded to a nearby technician, who read off the chart in his hand. "Hormone production increasing at normal values, brain waves normal, oxidation rate...still abysmal, but it's better than before. She's a little healthier than last time, ma'am."
Meanwhile, another technician was disconnecting wires from Sayuri and handed her her school uniform, with her underwear laid on top. The LCL had already mostly evaporated. The intercom buzzed. "Attention all personnel, Unit 02 has arrived and is en route to the cage. Maintenence teams 02-04 please report to Eva Containment B."


Sayuri quietly thanks the technician as she's handed her uniform, dressing herself as if she was lacking an audience and smoothing out her skirt over her thighs before taking a deep breath and lifting her head. She looks like she's about to say something before she hears the announcement over the intercom, which makes her blink, "Unit 02?"

Ignoring Sayuri entirely, Winters focused on her vibrating pager, cursing under her breath. "Why did the UN have to send--?! Damn! It has to be... Allen, take care of Michishio." Without another word, she left. Shaking his head, Tsien nods to Sayuri. "We're getting an additional pilot, who will be training with you from now on." He started steering her towards the main elevator, Desai tagging behind. "The Evangelion arrived ahead of the pilot, but she should be here tomorrow."

"Oh... another pilot? I see..." Sayuri murmurs, furrowing her brows slightly and staring straight ahead as she's guided towards the elevator, appearing deep in thought for a few moments, before turning her gaze up to Allen, "Is she... I mean... do you know her name, Colonel Tsien? W-wait, nevermind!" She waves her arms in front of her, "I-is there anything else you need me for today?"

"Name? Ah...let's see. Saka...sakamoto?" He glanced at Dr. Desai, who merely nodded. "Right. Her name is Miyo Sakamoto, age 15."

"Sakamato-senpai..." Sayuri mumbles to herself, giving a little nod and waiting to hear what else Tsien has to say.

"As for anything else..." Allen glanced at Desireé, who quietly handed him a sheet of paper. "Sayuri, your sync ratios have been rising lately. Has something happened in the past few weeks?"

"I... not really." She murmurs, looking embarassed, before giving a little shrug, "I've just been feeling more comfortable in the Eva, lately. Like... oh, no, that sounds silly..."


Dr. Desai stops writing and focuses on Sayuri, at her words. "No, go on," Colonel Tsien prompted.

Sayuri bites her lower lip and takes a deep breath, lowering her head and letting her bangs fall down to cover her eyes, "I feel like when I'm in the Eva, I'm... home. Like that's where I belong. S-see? It's silly." She stammers, fidgeting a little.

Desai taps her glasses a few times with her pen, thinking, then scribbles a few notes on a new page. "No, it's not silly, Sayuri. It's intersting, but not silly. But to answer your earlier question, no, we don't have additional assignments for you. You're free to take the tram back up to the surface. Thank you for putting up with a bunch of old men and their tests," Tsien says, mussing her hair.
Clearing her throat loudly, Dr. Desai gives him a look. "Pardon. A bunch of old men and women." Another throat clearing, louder. Allen sighed. "A bunch of old men and women, and one young vibrantly beautiful scientist." Desireé beamed at him.
The elevator doors opened, reealing hectic activity caused by the arrival of a new Eva, but nothing extreme.


The mussing of her hair and the exchange between Allen and Desireé makes Sayuri relax a little, a small little smile forming on her face that quickly vaishes at the sight of all the hectic activity. Steeling herself, she gives a little nod of her head, "I... would it be okay if I go sit in the Eva cage for a while, sir? Unless I'd be in the way?" She asks, not feeling especially fond of the idea of returning to her small apartment at the moment.

Thinking for a moment, Colonel Tsien nodded. "Permission granted. Try not to get in anyone's way, Sayuri. I'm afraid both Dr. Desai and I have business to attend to, though."

Sayuri nods her head, looking grateful, "O-of course, Colonel Tsien, sir. You both have... have a good day!" She stammers, blushing brightly and feeling more than a little awkward, quickly excusing herself and making her way towards the Eva Cage wher Unit 01 resides. Upon arriving, she seats herself down on the catwalk and stares at her Eva, drawing her knees up to her chest and hugging her legs, "Another pilot... should I be happy? Someone else who does what I do. Does her existence make me less special? Oh... I'm thinking silly thoughts again. But you understand, don't you?" She smiles at her Eva as she muses out loud.

Realism, seriously? It's a space ship game. Realism was thrown out the window a long time ago.

Re: [YMIR] You mustn't run away! [Adeptus Evangelion]

Post by Anna »

Both of you are seated on a rather noisy VTOL, a large suited man sitting next to Sakamoto, ostensibly for her protection. You took off from an airfield in Osaka, which was situated in one of the regions of the city that didn't get damaged too badly 15 years ago. Everyone's wearing headsets, it'd be much too painful on the ears otherwise. Up front, a young man with 'Mitsumiga' stenciled on hispocket turns to face the passengers. "It'll only be another few minutes. Sorry for the noisy flight!"

"No need for apologies, that's how these things work after all" Katou taps his lower lip with a pair of broad-rimmed reading glasses.

Miyo turns her head towards the pilot, and looks past him to the passing scenery."I don't care if it's noisy, errm... Mr Mitsu...miga, I've never been on such an aircraft, so this whole experience is new for me, and I like it." She laughs, before turning her head again looking at Katou

Mitsumiga began to turn back, but paused, reaching down and picking up a folder. "Oh, before I forget sir, I'm authorized to give this to you."
It was a file on the girl, a Ms. Miya Mellisa Sakamoto, and her recent testing and records. Her latest sync tests were showing steady improvement, with a continual rise on the graph.


"Thank you" Katou takes the file and flips it open with a polite nod. Donning his glasses, Katou finds the data sufficiently satisfactory and glances over at Sakamoto.

Miyo begins to hum Adagio for strings out of pure boredome. She looks around, eyeing the man next to her, and Katou, who seems to be looking at a file about something or another. "Mr.Katou, mind if I ask you something?"

"I don't mind, no. Please, go right ahead" Katou smiles softly.

Mellisa smiles back and asks, "Why are you going to Tokyo-3, I'm just curious." She shuffles a bit with her feet, asking herself if asking that was rude or not.

"I'm being transferred" Katou replies and closes the file. "New position, I'm not absolutely sure of all the details yet but I'm pretty sure we'll be working together"

"You seem like a nice guy." Mellisa develop a fire-engine red blush on her cheeks."Hehehehe, I certainly hope so."

"I'd like to believe that I am" Katou turns back to the file, taking special interest in things like physical and mental health records as well as any background information.

The VTOL has been closing on a rather large town, its tall skyscrapers gleaming in the mid-day sun. Slowly descending, the VTOL set down on the outskirts of town, on a helipad next to a tram line.
Standing a few meters away from the landed craft were 2 women, one looking very official in a NERV uniform with a bundle under her arm, the other, decidedly NOT in uniform, and fanning herself in the heat. Mitsumiga jerked his head to indicate they should go to them, though Sakamoto's escort did not budge.


"Well then, normally I'd be a gentleman but I think that just for today I'll be going first" Katou smiles at Sakamoto, tucks the file under his arm and puts the glasses in his pocket before stepping off.

Miyo nods at Katou, and walks out of the VTOL not so far behind Katou

The uniformed oriental woman nodded at them both, and gave Katou Musashi a salute. "Musashi-san, Sakamoto-chan, I am Lt. Hikari. Before we go any further, I will need to have you sign these Non-Disclosure Agreements, as per UN Law. Violating these Agreements is causation for punishments ranging from imprisonment to execution, also according to UN Law under the NERV Charter." The other woman said nothing, which seemed to slightly irritate the lieutenant.

"Of course" Katou returns Lt. Hikari's salute and nods at the other woman. "And this would be?"

As Lt. Hikari handed out the clipboards, she grinned in a way that contradicted her previous demeanor. "Yes, it's quite rude to not introduce yourself, Dee-hakase." The other woman had a quite annoyed look on her face, but sighed.

Miyo takes the clipboard from Lt. Hikari, looks passively over the NDA, confident it no different from all the other's she's had to sign, and sign's it with her signature.

"I'm thorry for not introduthing mythelf earlier. My name ith Dethireé Dethai, and I am the head of Thienth, Rethearch, and Development here. I've come with Chiko," "OW!" cried out Lt. Hikari, as her foot was stomped on, "to meet the pilot of Unit 02, along with our new Operathonth Director. If you thign thoth theetth, we can get going."

Miyo hands the Signed NDA back and gives a short salute to Katou. "Sorry sir, I had no idea, that you where my superior."

"A pleasure to meet the both of you" Katou proceeds to jot down his signature and smiles at Sakamoto. "I think I preferred it that way. Lets get going, shall we?"

Hikari takes back both clipboards, and hands each of them a red operations manual with CLASSIFIED stenciled on the cover. "Welcome to Tokyo-3, both of you. Please, follow me." The two women lead the newcomers onto the tram, which starts moving quite rapidly, shortly entering a tunnel and moving down a fairly steep grade. "So, any questions while we wait?"

Mellisa Sakamoto silently chuckles and thinks; The only thing usefull in this thing is the map, the rest I probably know, i'll see it later. She looks at Lt. Hikari and answers with a simple. "No questions on my part, Hikari-san."

"Questions? Hm, lets see. How are you three doing, today?"

"Eh?" Lt. Hikari is obviously taken aback, while Desai simply raises an eyebrow. "I..I'm doing fine, sir, just busy."

"Doing fine, thanks for asking, Katou-sensei."

"I'm glad to hear that, Sakamoto-san" Katou smiles before switching focus to Lt. Hikari. "Busy? I'm guessing there's quite a bit of activity around HQ here then. Or, is this a more... personal kind of busy?"

Mellisa Sakamoto takes out the operations manual and begins reading, seeing as the trip could take quite a while."Is it so deep underground, or is this tram just going real slow?" Mellisa says to nobody in particular

Hikari was opening and closing her mouth, trying to figure out how to respond, when Desireé spoke up. "Itth her fault, actyually," she said, pointing at Sakamoto. "Her and her Eva. Everyone'th been working overtime thecuring Unit Two, and my divithon's been running tethtth..tetht..diagnothticth on it all night." Just then, the tram burst out into the GeoFront, spiraling down slowing along the edge of the giant 6 km wide dome.

Katou nods slowly. "I see, that much does seem natural" He glances out towards the scenery. "So this is the 'geofront'. The view is quite breathtaking... I can't say I was expecting that"

Miyo looks up and completely forgets the operations manual in her hands, it clatters to the ground as she takes in the breathtaking sight. "How pretty, and it's so big."

Chiko watched respectfully, while Desireé pulled out a PDA and resumed her work, oblivious to the sights. Half a minute later, Hikari finally spoke up. "Six kilometers wide, and sealed under twenty three exotic alloy barrier plates."

Katou crouches down and picks up Melissa's manual. "Roughly twenty three fewer barriers than I'd prefer, but one has to work with what is on hand. Sakamoto-san" He stands up again and hands her the manual. "I'm going to have to ask you to be more careful with classified material"

Sakamoto turns around and nods."Sorry, Katou-sensei, i'll be more carefull from now on." She grabs the manual with both hands and begins reading it again.

Finally reaching the bottom, Desai quickly leaves the other three, leaving Hikari to guide the other two down a series of slidewalks through a huge complex, eventually coming to a large office with a screen on one wall. "Commander, I've brought them."
Looking up, NERV Commander Winters stares at them for a moment before nodding. "I am Alexa Winters, commanding officer of this base. I expect both of you to perform what is required, regardless of the situation." Turning to the man standing next to her, she added, "Allen, please have Michishio-4 brought here."


Katou salutes. "Of course, ma'am. Katou Musashi reporting for duty; I strive to perform beyond what is expected of me"

After saluting to Allen and Commander Alexa, Mellisa says; "Yes ofcourse miss, I will try to the best of my abilities."

After Col. Tsien left, she added, "Alright, with any luck you'll both be able to settle into a routine within a week. Lt. Hikari has everything you'll need - Addresses of your new residences, charge cards for your monthly allowances, IDs. Besides the mundane, the only other thing I'd like for you to do today is meet the pilot of Unit 01, who should be here soon."

Sayuri steps into the room, dressed in her school uniform, "You asked for me, Commander?" She asks, before turning her gaze towards the two new-comers and blinking in surprise. She nods her head to them slightly, uncertain who they are who how to greet them, using the opportunity to hide her face behind her hair.

"Of course, ma'am" Katou clasps his hands together behind his back as Sayuri makes her appearance. He nods at her with a pleasant smile on his face.

Miyo looks at the other's unsure if she should speak, before asking the newcomer. "So, you are Sayuri-chan, right, the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01, I am the pilot of Eva unit-02, Mellisa."

Commander Winters nodded. "Sayuri, please assist Lt. Hikari in helping them. Everyone else is busy. Dismissed." Hikari led the three of them to another room, not that far away, and started handing out documents relating to their new residences and access codes needed, along with a new NERV ID

"Sayuri... chan?" Sayuri murmurs to herself, confused by this form of address, lifting her head a little and staring at Mellisa, "I... of course, Sakamoto-senpai. Pleased to meet you." She murmurs, then looks to Commander Winters and nods obediently, "Yes, Commander." She says, following Hikari, occasionally casting glances towards the two strangers.

Katou stores everything away safely. Even pulling a plastic folder for the documents out of one of the many pockets on his red uniform jacket. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Michishio-san" Katou turns to Sayuri with a polite nod.

Miyo clips the ID on her clothing, and asks for a clipboard, so she can memorize things while walking around the base.

Hikari hands Sakamoto a clipboard, keeping respectfully quiet while watching the three interact.

"Thank you, Hikari." Mellisa bows down slightly, before clipping the things she would need to memorize immediatly on top and turned the rest around, and put them under the rest of the papers. "Also, sorry I said Sayuri-chan, that's not right, we're equals, we both pilot eva's and are both girls, no hard feelings, right, Sayuri-san?"

Sayuri blinks at Katou, staring at him and biting her lower lip, "I... um... it's nice to meet you too... sir?" She replies nervously, offering an uncertain smile. Then she casts her gaze back to Mellisa, shaking her head slightly, "It's... I... um... no."

Katou stifles a chuckle. "My name is Katou Musashi, I'm going to be your Operations Director. I haven't had the chance to study your file, and I hope you don't mind me asking but... how old are you?"

Miyo begins nervously playing with her twintails, and thinks. "This isn't working, oh, Katou's trying something."

Sayuri blushes faintly under Katou's gaze, tilting her head to one side and lacing her fingers together as she stares quite intently at the floor, "O-oh. I'm sorry sir, I didn't know. I... how old? I uh... I'm... I'm thirteen, sir."

"That's quite alright, I don't blame you" Katou waves a hand nonchalantly. "But thirteen, you say? Awfully young for military service, don't you think?"

"I... I never thought about it, sir. Am I?" She asks, confused. Then she turns her head to look at Mellisa, frowning seriously.

Miyo exclaims: "What, I'm just a bit nervous, I've never ever been here, and then I get to meet a fellow pilot, and that all on the same day." She stops playing with her twintails and instead looks closer at Sayuri, and she starts smilling."

"Of course, Sakamoto-san here is also quite young for a soldier, though she is the older of you two" Katou puts his reading glasses on and starts absent-mindedly going through some documents. "I was just curious as to why a thirteen-year-old girl decided to come to a place like this"

Lt. Hikari cleared her throat. "Excuse me sir, but she didn't."

"I didn't." Sayuri replies to Katou almost at the same moment as Hikari and looks away from Mellisa, turning her gaze back to the floor.

Katou looks at Sayuri with pity in his eyes. "I see... If you were allowed to choose any place in the world, where would you rather be?"

"I... I don't understand that question, sir." Sayuri murmurs, then looks to Hikari, quickly changing the topic, "Hikari-san, shouldn't we help them get those... those... things, that... they need?"

"Am I that scary, Sayuri, looking at someone isn't going to kill you." Mellisa chuckles, and nods in agreement with Sayuri's question. "To the point, aren't you?"

"Right," Lt. Hikari cut in, "You two get to choose between several different residences. There are a few bunks here in the base, but I'd reccommend an apartment up in the city, especially you, Sakamato-chan. It'll be much faster getting to school next week than having to take the tram out of the Geofront."

Katou places a hand on Melissa's shoulder. "Sakamoto-san, I think we're making Michishio-san uncomfortable; We shouldn't bother her more" He glances at Sayuri over the rim of his reading glasses. "If you ever come up with an answer, I'd very much like to hear it"

Sayuri doesn't respond to Mellisa, staring quite intently at the floor. She lifts her head briefly to look at Katou, her lips parting as if she's going to say something, before she shakes her head slightly and returns to staring at the floor, taking slow, deep breaths.

"Ofcourse, Katou-san, I understand. And a appartement in the city certainly sounds better." She nods, half in thought. "Nice meeting you, Sayuri, ehm, does she go to the same school as me?" Mellisa asked, the question suddenly coming up in her mind

Katou lets go of Melissa's shoulder and turns to Lt. Hikari. "Would it be possible to have a bunk reserved for me at the base in addition to an appartment somewhere in the city? I can see several good as well as bad points to both options. It would be preferable if alternating between the two was possible"

"Yes, you'll both be attending the same school..." Chiko's voice drops off as she checks a clipboard. "Oh, you'll actually both be in the same class, since Sakamoto-chan has apparently been training so hard, she's missed an entire grade. And yes, sir, I'll see what I can do. Sometimes I just nap on the couch in the break room when working on a particularly long analysis with Dee-hakase."

"Greatly appreciated, and I'll make sure to look before I sit down in the break room" Katou smiles warmly at Lt. Hikari. "So, is there anything else we'll be doing today?"

"It was nice meeting you too, Sakamoto-senpai." Sayuri murmurs very quietly, seeming quite uncomfortable indeed, occasionally casting inconspicuous little glances towards Katou and chewing nervously on her lower lip.

Looking unsettled, Hikari shook her head. "I didn't mean it like that, sir. But the only thing after choosing residences is Sayuri's file, and memorizing your access codes."

Mellisa speaks up, asking something."Is it possible for me to go to the pit later today, I would like to see unit-01 and 02, like to know what your techs have done to my unit in the time that I have been separated from her." Mellisa smiles at the thought of seeing her EVA again.

"Well...we're still examining Unit 02, all we've done is arm it. But, I suppose exceptions can be made for the pilots."

"I think I've memorized the ones I've been given already. Most of them, anyway" Katou flips through the documents. "I'd love to have Michishio-san's file, however. There are some... interesting questions that I'd like to have answered"

"Well thank you, Hikari-chan, couldn't someone else help me pick a residence, then the both of you can go do whatever it is you adults do." Mellisa understood that Katou probably had some things to ask she didn't have to hear.

Sayuri suddenly speaks up, "I don't want to live alone anymore!" She exclaims, before realising she blurted that out, going wide-eyed and raising both hands to cover her mouth, starting to rush out of the room only to trip and fall over, landing with a thud and whimpering, rolling onto her side, "Owowowow... I uh... uh... LCL... medical thing... I'm o-okay, j-just pretend I didn't say anything!" She waves her arms and pushes herself back to her feet, her legs shaking a little.

Katou takes a hesitating step towards Sayuri. "M- Michishio-san, are you alright?"

The consequences of Sayuri's outburst would have to wait, though, for a klaxon suddenly sounded. "All personnel to combat stations, all personnel to combat stations, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."

Re: [YMIR] You mustn't run away! [Adeptus Evangelion]

Post by Anna »

Okay, so about 3 minutes have passed, Katou makes it to the Operations Deck, and Sayuri's still suiting up and getting into the EVA. The Operations Deck is in chaos. "Depth charges have no effect!" "It's still approaching! Just crossed the Komogatake Defense Line!" "No, Sarge, you do NOT have authorization to engage! It's not even in range!"

Sayuri looks, surprisingly, calm, almost serene. She suits up quickly in her plugsuit, pressing the button on her wrist to make it skin tight, and attached the nueral clip things in her hair. Then she gets into her Eva, ignoring everything and everyone around her except for orders she's given, climbing into the entry plug and taking a deep breath before it fills with LCL.

Katou takes a few seconds to scan across the Operations Deck before speaking up in a loud yet pleasant and clear tone of voice. "My name, is Musashi Katou. I am your new Operations Director, and as such I recommend everyone tries to take a deep breath and calms down. After that, I'd like a status report, and please, one at a time" He steps up to his spot on the Deck while talking and observing the crew's reactions.

Running past Katou to sit at one of the consoles, Chiko Hikari winked at him briefly before donning a headset. There was a brief pause, as people turned toward him and saluted, before turning back to their work urgently, but quieter. The man sitting at the console next to Chiko's turned more towards him. "Lt. Toren, sir. We have an angel in the lake, it's about 3 kilometers away from the shoreline closest to Tokyo-3 proper, buildings are being receded. The cruisers are trying depth charges, but it's not slowing down. That's all we know at the moment, sir."

Katou slides his hands into his pants pockets and stands silent for a while before adressing Lt. Toren. "What recources are available to us in the vicinity of the angel, Lieutenant?"

Sayuri takes another deep breath and grabs the handles inside the entry plug, closing her eyes and settling into a calm, focused area. She smiles faintly to herself as the plug starts to fill with LCL, "We can do this, Shogouki. We'll protect everyone." She whispers, "It's what we were made for."

"VTOLs are launching, but at the moment, just the cruisers, sir." A shout from across the room cut in, "2.5 clicks!" Up above, Commander Winters and Colonel Tsien entered unobtrusively, merely observing. Suddenly, the last communications officer on the upper deck, turned around. "Unit 01 is ready to be launched in 60 seconds, Unit 02 is having trouble initializing," the blonde haired woman informed.

Katou ponders shortly. "Keep trying with the charges for as long as possible. The cannons won't reach it below surface, so theres no use trying that" He pauses briefly for a quick reminder to himself off the base layout. "Have 01 launch from the central launch port, chances are we're going to have to intercept at the edge of the city. Lets try buying miss Michishio some time"

Sayuri lifts her head, her eyes opening as her Eva begins to start up, feeling her awareness expand and join with its. She nods her head slightly, opening a communications channel, "Captain, will Sakamoto-senpai be assisting?"

Before they could even relay the orders, Lt. Hikari turned. "The Angel has just made landfall near the shrine! It destroyed one of the cruisers when it was fired up, expected casuality rate, 79%. We don't know how it attacked, yet." Meanwhile, 01's cage released all locks and the entry plug pulsed slightly, as the Eva was moved on its platform to the launch rails.

"Change of plans. Hit it with any available cruisers, and do it now. Redirect 01 to the southernmost launch port if its not too late!" He directs his attention to Sayuri. "Miss Michishio, the angel just made landfall near the shrine, we'll be deploying you to intercept it. We're counting on you"

"Yes, Captain! I won't let you down!" She exclaims, gripping the controls inside the entry plug tightly, narrowing her eyes fiercely and adding beneath her breath, "I won't let anyone down... I can't. If I can't do this, what am I good for?"

Firing all at once, the missiles streamed down on the Angel ((Referred to as Sachiel from now on in Narrative)). Half of them impacted around the Angel, flattening a mobile home, while the other detonated against the frightening AT field. No damage is visible.
Sayuri feels the rails lock onto the platform, and is launched violently upwards, being shunted along the way until she is jettisonned neatly above-ground, facing off an Angel some 90dm away, no weapons in hand.


Sayuri glances towards Sachiel, determining it to be a safe distance away, and still outside the range of her Pallet Rifle even if she had one, "That thing's my enemy?" She asks, fully spreading her AT Field and waiting for her rifle, remaining in a partially crouched position.

Sachiel continued at a slow pace toward T3 and Sayuri. Lt Toren looked up with, "MAGI has finished preliminary analysis, we have some idea of the Angel's structural integrity, sir."

"Finally some good news. What do we have?" Katou turns his attention half to Lt. Toren.

He wordlessly passes a hardcopy sheet to Captain Musashi, before turning back to his console

"Send up a pallet gun! I'd rather not let miss Michishio rely on a progknife as her only armament" Katou waves half-heartedly at the Deck, not really sure who does the actual sending but unwilling to let it show. Consulting the sheet, he adresses Sayuri. "Miss Michishio, we're sending up the rifle. The angels core is set in its chest, please focus your fire there"

The rifle zips up the rails, slamming into a holster next to the elevator for easy retrieval.

"Yes, Captain!" Sayuri snatches up the Pallet Rifle as soon as it arrives, spinning around and snapping off a three-round burst at Sachiel the moment she gets it in her sights.

All three ping uselessly off Sachiel's AT field, but it gets his attention, and he starts advancing straight for Sayuri.

"Keep up the fire, Michishio! If opportunity arises I want you to neutralize that AT Field!" Katou exclaims.
"Keep the cruisers close, people. Close but passive, if miss Michishio manages to neutralize that AT Field I'd like to hit it with everything we have"

"Tch!" Sayuri grunts and quickly fires off another three rounds at full-auto, "I may have to move into melee range, Captain, I don't think this thing will pierce its AT Field!"

Seemingly unaffected, the angel continues his approach.

"Whatever feels comfortable to you, Michishio" Katou turns to Toren. "What's the satus on those VTOLs?"

"In the air, but it'll be another turn before the nearest is in range."

"Useless piece of...!" Sayuri tosses aside the empty Pallet Gun instead of wasting time reloading it, drawing her Progressive Knife and making a half-move towards Sachiel, closing the distance between them by a very modest 60 meters.

With a flash of brilliant light from Sachiel's eyes, the ground beneath Unit 01's feet explode in a brilliant gigantic green cross of energy
The blast scorches the armor of Unit 01, which growls softly, and the faint scent of burned flesh can be smelled. The umbilical, or what's left of it, drops to the ground, severed. There's a small crater around Unit 01
Instantly, a small window appears in Sayuri's cockpit and on panels in Central Dogma, reading "5:00:00" and start ticking down


Katou frowns heavily. "Michishio, are you alright?" He calmly asks Sayuri.
"I want all available firepower directed at the angel! We can't let it get closer to 01!" Katou exclaims to the whole Deck with a dramatic arm movement.


Quickly passing along fire sequences, the operators busy themselves as a massive missile bombardment is launched from a Vtol and 2 cruisers
Aside from two lucky missiles that actually seared the skin of the body and arm, Sachiel was unaffected


Sayuri cries out in pain as the blast tears apart her armor, gasping for breath and clenching her fist tightly, her Eva responding by tightly gripping its progressive knife. She clenches her teeth, "I'll be fine, Captain." She says, and then breaks out in a full sprint towards Sachiel, closing 36 decameters, a determined expression on her face.

Sachiel let out a small scream, before raising an arm and shooting out a huge green cross laterally, spearing the ship that hurt it, (and ripping through an overpass and 2 houses on the way) and causing it to near instantly explode. "We lost the Andova! All hands expected lost!"

"Hit it again! Lets really make it count this time!" Katou exclaims with determination.

Firing again, Sachiel didn't even...well, he never blinked. But it didn't look like it hurt, either. "Sir, VTOL D-20 is reporting a malfunction in the weapons system, they're falling back with your authorization."

"Of course, bring them home" Katou nods.

Re: [YMIR] You mustn't run away! [Adeptus Evangelion]

Post by Anna »

(Note: Rewind back to Sachiel making landfall, before the Eva's launch)

Sachiel's made landfall a bit south of the visitor's center, both evangelions are green lit OD's going to need to decide who to deploy where, and if you're going to send a weapon up a launch elevator, I'd like to know a round ahead of time. I won't be picky about that this fight, but I will later.


Sayuri remains sitting in her entry plug, a bundle of nerves and anxiety, clenching and unclenching her hands around the controls in the entry plug.

"I want 01 deployed at the southernmost Launch Port, and 02 at the central one! Make sure to send the rifles up to follow them!" Katou exclaims.

Mellisa stands by in her entry plug, going through a checklist, and making small hand movements to test motor functions. She focuses on things around her to keep her cool."It's been quite a while, old friend." Mellisa says to the machine.

"Actually, scratch that. Deploy 01 at the southmost LP, followed by a rifle! After that, launch 02 at the same point along with the other rifle. Will you be able to handle that, Michishio?"

"Yes Captain. I'm ready." Sayuri replies calmly, lifting her head and opening her eyes, taking a deep breath before her lips curl into a faint grin.

"We're counting on you, then" Katou acknowledges.

Sachiel lumbers forward as the elevator shoots up, carrying Unit 01 to the surface, Sachiel still a distance off.

"Good luck Michishio-san." Mellisa mutters. Waiting for her Unit to be sent up after Sayuri.

"Now the rifle, and hurry up with 02! Sakamoto, prepare yourself"

"Sir! Unit 01's pilot is showing irregular signs! She's frozen up!"

"Michishio, status report, if you'd be so kind!"

Sayuri stares at Sachiel as her Eva reaches the surface, her breathing starting to increase in pace as she just stands there, immobile, "Th-that... thing?" She stammers, all her confidence disappearing in an instant.

Sachiel continues to encroach, very slowly getting larger from Sayuri's point of view "Sir! AT field chiral test comes back Pattern Blue! It's confirmed as Angel!"

Unit O2 walks out of the elevator, turning around to pick up the pallet gun sent up with it, and spreading it's AT field, turning towards the approaching Angel.

"Patch me right to unit 01, both sound and image" Katou waits for his instructions to be followed before speaking up to Sayuri. "Michishio. Michishio, listen to me. 'We' count on you, means this whole city. This whole nation. This whole planet. Please don't let us down now. We're sending your rifle up, hurry up and snap out of it!"

"Syncronization signal locked in, she's stabilizing." Commander Winters let out an almost inaudible sigh, before nodding at Musashi to continue.

Sayuri takes a deep breath and suddenly settles, her gaze once again becoming focused and intense, her confidence returning as she listens to Katou's speech, "Yes, sir." She says, grabbing her controls. Eva-01 thrusts out a hand, fully extending its AT Field before dropping into a crouch, "Sakamoto-senpai, we can do this!"

Sachiel continues to walk at a steady pace, crushing buildings and slowly closing distance.

Unit 02 aims it's pallet gun at the angel, fires it, firing 3 shots in quick succession, hoping they would hit.

The shells impact around the angel, one of them smashing straight through a house, leaving a large hole in it

"Feed Michishio firing coordinates for the target. Please don't forget any parameters. Michishio, fire at will, but please save on the ammunition. That goes for the both of you, by the way"

"Da, inputting coordinates, sending now."

Sayuri snatches up her Pallet Rifle and readies it, lining up a shot on Sachiel, her arms shaking a little, "Target still isn't in range, Captain. There's no way I can hit it from here." She says, "Should I move in?"

"Aye, Katou-sama, I'll try and be carefull with the rest of my ammo."

"Don't stray to far from eachother, other than that you're free to move as you please. Remember, disable the AT Field, then the Eva, and then finish it"

Sayuri nods her head, "Closing, sir." She says, moving 6 decameters in the direction of Sachiel, keeping her gun readied, trying her best to stop her arms from shaking quite so much.

Attracted by the rifle fire, the air around Sachiel flares slightly, and Sachiel leaps forward, jumping over a hill and landing some 300 meters closer.

Unit 02 further spreads its at field, to full strength, moving along the same line as Unit 01, though keeping a fair distance. "Michishio-san, lets do this." She closes a camera feed, showing the destroyed houses from her missed shot. "I'll have to be more carefull next time."

"Give Sakamoto the firing data. Status report on all available military resources within range"

"UNN Santiago and UNN Carlotta are both within bombardment range with their cannons, sir."

"Good. Keep them in range, hopefully we'll be able to get some cheap shots in if that AT field goes down."

Sayuri grits her teeth, "I'll take my chances now!" She says, taking a second to line up her shot before gripping the hand controls and pulling the trigger. In response, Eva-01 lifts its weapon and fires off a full-auto burst in Sachiel's general direction.

A round strikes Sachiel in the arm, causing it to pause briefly, before continuing forward, unharmed, but more intent on reaching the Evangelions.

Mellisa watches Unit 01 as it lines up for a full auto burst, watching sachiel pause briefly, she pauses and lines up her pallet rifle, firing off a single shot, which to her surprise hits the AT field. "Darn, and it looked like a great shot too."

"Michishio, Sakamoto, one of you is going to have to get closer and disable the AT field. Any volunteers?"

Sayuri narrows her eyes, lips curling into a grin again, "I'll volunteer. Some covering fire would help. So far the Angel hasn't attacked, and that's... worrying."

"I can't have you go in there all one, Sayuri, but if you insist, and it worries me too, Katou-san, could you think of a reason for it to not attack us?" Mellisa briefly let her hands of the controls,shifting one of the A10 clips. "Why'd my set have to be misplaced, these clips don't fit that well." Mellisa mutters to herself

"Affirmative, Michishio. Sakamoto, don't worry, just back her up" Katou turns to the Deck. "Feed Sakamoto the target information, have the Carlotta supply full covering fire!"

The Carlotta rotates a turret and fires a shot, but even the awesome power of a battleship round is deflected easily by the AT field

Sayuri narrows her eyes, "Shogouki, let's go." She whispers, starting to sprint towards Sachiel at full speed, Pallet Rifle held in one hand as she crosses 360 meters as fast as Eva-01's feet can take her.

Before Unit 01 could even growl a warning, Sachiel's eyes flash, and the ground beneath Unit 01's feet explodes in a giant cross of energy, severing the cable. Unit 01, however, managed to survive without a scrape, as "TIME: 1:40:00" appeared on monitors.

Mellisa was just ready to sprint after Unit 01, when Sachiel suddenly attacked, Unit 01 released a grunt, as it heaved the pallet gun on it's shoulder, firing the single round left in it, aiming for Sachiel. It hit the AT-less angel near its core, doing no damage. "Dammit, I should have aimed a bit more to the right." Mellisa said, gripping her controls hard , in frustration.

"Hit it. Now"

"You're clear to fire, Captain." "Targetting calculations set, launch salvo, Captain"
One round managed to hit the angel, but it barely even moved with the force of impact. The other cruiser sat silent. "Sir! Carlotta has an electrical fire in the Ammo loading, captain refuses to fire until it's out!"


Katou sighs and mutters under his breath. "Today is not my day, this much is clear"

Sayuri grins as her AT Field deflects the massive cross blast from Sachiel, "You'll have to do better than that!" She cries, continuing to run straight towards the angel at full speed, closing the distance between them by another 36 decameters.

Unit Nigoki runs forward, coming 36 Dm closer to the angel, as she watched Sayuri in Unit 01 do the same. "Keep an eye on your battery, Michishio, and lets take it on." Mellisa scans around her, looking for possible cover, whilst running towards the angel.

As Sayuri's Unit 01 came close to Sachiel, Sayuri felt the flicker of ...something... across her mind, and Sachiel screamed, using its long arms to grab Eva 01's chest, and a large spike drew back from the arm, before glowing with energy and slamming into the Eva, rattling Sayuri and cracking the armor. "Sir! U...UNIT 01'S AT FIELD! IT'S BEING NEUTRALIZED BY THE ANGEL!"

"Sakamoto, move in closer to back Michishio up! Michishio, hang in there! Have the Santiago fire at the angel!"
"On second thought, hold the Santiago's cannons, I don't want to risk hitting 01. Give Miss Michishio all available data on the angel"


Sayuri screams out as Sachiel's spike spears her Eva in the chest, clutching the controls lightly and clenching her teeth, "O-okay, that was better." She groans, shaking her head to clear it before firing a full auto burst at the Angel, emptying her Pallet Gun's magazine at nearly point-blank range.
Realising her extreme close range to the Angel would prevent her from getting a clear shot, she tosses the rifle aside and charges into melee, her Eva's jaws opening wide as it attempts to tear into the angel with its teeth, Sayuri letting out a loud cry.


Breaking through the flimsy AT field, Unit 01 lunges in and takes a bite out of Sachiel's right leg. Sayuri can taste blood in her mouth. Sachiel tries to swipe at the evangelion at its leg, but it's too difficult to break past the AT Field for the angel.

Mellisa runs the remaining distance to the angel, circling around it, and entering melee range, she attacks it from behind.

"Keep Michishio updated constantly!"

Winters glances up at the monitor reading "1:18:30" and continuously dropping, before turning her attention back to the Operations Director below her.

"Let's see how you like it when I take down your AT Field!" Sayuri growls, thrusting her hands out and using her Eva's AT Field to weaken Sachiel's before lunging in for another attack with her Eva's jaws, "You're mine!"

Biting Sachiel's left leg, this time, Unit 01 tore out a hunk of flesh and swallowed it. Sayuri felt her mind shift and shatter for a moment, suddenly aware she wasn't alone. Unit 01 reared back, letting out a piercing scream. "UNIT 01'S SYNC PATTERNS ARE SHIFTING! IT'S BERSERKING!" Winters turned pale and stood up. "Impossible!"
Sachiel pulls back the arm ram, and drives its palm straight into Unit 01's head, firing the Arm Ram, only to have it bounce back after hitting an extremely powerful AT Field. It tries again, with the same results.


Unit 02's right wing dock opens, revealing a Progressive Knife, which slides out handle first, into Unit 02's waiting hand. The dock seals shut, and Unit 02 slashes at Sachiel."DIE, DIE, DIE , DIE." Mellisa says, totally unfazzed by the sight of the berserk Unit 01 at the angels feet."Sayuri, can you hear me in there." Mellisa tries, getting no connection.

The knife scrapes off the leg, failing to hit solidly

Considering this is the first thing I've drawn on paper in years, I'm pretty happy with it. Touching it up, colouring and shading on the PC is also something I have very little experience with... I think I did okay.

pretty nice in general, although i'm not entirely sure why but the face looks slightly wrong to me, i think it's a lack of shading around the edge of the fringe. other than that it's good for someone who's been out of practice, hopefully you'll have time to do some more

apart from the shading on the face I can't see anything wrong with this, although that vertical line down her top gives her a delightful camel toe lol

Katou's eyes turn into thin lines at the sight of 01 berserking. "That... that's unfortunate. Stay calm, everyone! Feed target data so Sakamoto and keep a close eye on 01! I want constant updated information on everything going on up there!"

Sayuri goes wide-eyed as she pulls on the controls, a look of horror crossing her features, "N-no... no! Not Berserk! Stop it, Shogouki!" She cries out, raising her hands and clutching her head as Unit 01 lets out a vicious roar and lunges for Sachiel again, intent on ripping it to shreds.

Unit 01 lunges past the AT field, only to be shoved away by Sachiel, trying to hold 01 at bay. The arm ram pulls back, and slams forward, but only scrapes the armor of Unit 01

Mellisa in Unit 02 lunges forward with the Progressive knife, aiming for Sachiel's chest. ''Die, you monster!.'' Mellisa screams.

The knife sinking solidly into Sachiel's body, Sachiel screams, as the knife rends through the flesh, and sprays blood everywhere, all over the ground and Unit 02

Katou smiles triumphantly at the blood-red scene. "Sakamoto, good work. Keep it up, we're still feeding you data. Michishio, how are you doing in there?!"

Sayuri clutches her head tightly and whimpers, drawing her legs up to her chest, staring wide-eyed at Sachiel and not responding to Katou as her Eva continues its rampage, lunging at Sachiel yet again, letting out a vicious roar as it attempts to shred the angel apart with its teeth.

Sachiel continues to hold off Unit 01 with one arm, before grabbing Evangelion Unit 1's right leg, missing the grab once, but then having the arm rod glow and slam into the leg just below the hip. Sayuri feels her own shin shatter and her leg tear off, followed two THUDs: One as Unit 01's leg lands 20 meters away, and one as her eva is unable to keep balance, roaring loudly, but not out of battle yet.

Sayuri lets out an ear-piercing scream as her Eva's leg is torn off, lowering her hands to clutch at her own leg, screaming out in pain and rolling onto her side, eyes wide in terror and pain.

Mellisa looks at the results of her knife hit, and sees the berserk eva next to her attack Sachiel, she flinches briefly at the sight, and again makes a lunge at Sachiel, this time going for a less full out attack, and more in control of her actions.''How did that feel, want some more, you freak.'' She looks in horror at EVA-01 as its leg is torn of, and quickly launches herself forward again.

Mellisa's attack knocked Sachiel off balance as the knife stabbed into it yet again, Sachiel began to panic. It began to move more sluggishly.

"Sakamoto, try pulling the targets attention towards you! You've almost got it!" Katou grinds his teeth slightly, assuming he's not making a good first impression.

Winters spoke out. "Captain Musashi, please have a trauma team start gearing up to assist in recovery of Unit 01's pilot." Saying no more, she gave no opinion of how she thought Katou was doing his job, but merely returned to watch the monitors. She didn't even glance at the blinking power monitor for Unit 01 that read 00:00:00.

"Of course ma'am, right away. You heard the lady, I want a trauma team ready for miss Michishio on the double"

Sayuri is a sobbing, whimpering mess, curled up in a tight ball inside the entry plug, her hands covering her face. That doesn't stop Eva-01, however, nor does the loss of a leg, the Evangelion dragging itself towards Sachiel and attempting to rip into it once again, dropping its neutralisation of the Angel's AT Field to allow for its own to regenerate.

Unit 01 roars, and leaps onto the angel, causing it to crash onto the ground as Unit 01 starts to eat the right arm. The impact on the ground caused Sachiel's chest to split open, spraying blood and guts everywhere. Sachiel did not move.

Unit 02 begins to neutralize the angels AT Field, and simultaniously walks forward, its knife in hand, to perform another attack. Mellisa looks at a viewscreen displaying Unit 01 and a tear escapes her eyes. ''Keep it up in there, Sayuri, I know you can.''

Pluging her knife into the core, Sakamoto has the pleasure of seeing sparks fly from it. Lt Toren stood up, shouting "HELL YES!" before catching himself, and glanced around, flushed, before sitting down to hunch over his console admist the giggling of the two female communications officers.

Katou smirks. "I think lieutenant Toren speaks for all of us. Lets wrap this cat up in a bag. Sakamoto, you're on the right track! Hit it again! Now lets get that trauma team to the scene!"

Eva-01 wants blood. It doesn't waste time going to limbs now that it has Sachiel on the ground, lunging forward to rip into Sachiel's core with its massive jaws, roaring once again as it attempts to kill its fallen foe.

Finding no place to bite into, Unit 01 backs off a tiny bit as Sachiel slowly rises to its feet. It then stands still, not moving, not doing anything.

Unit 02 roars, as it aims its knife for the angels core. ''Why won't you stay down, beast.Just DIE!''

"Just a little more, Sakamoto!" Katou exclaims enthusiastically. "What's the status on that trauma team?"

"They're ready to go, and currently waiting to deploy with recovery team Theta-4, sir."

Eva-01 will not be detered, attempting to tackle Sachiel to the ground again, lunging forward while at the same time continuing to rip into the angel with its teeth. Presumably its whole face is soaked in Sachiel's blood at this point.

Sachiel falls to the ground with a loud thud, breaking the pavement where it lands.
Eva-01's gnawing dislodges the core from Sachiel, and it starts rolling quickly down the street, leaving its corpse behind.


Mellisa grunts a reply to Katou, quickly focussing on the core of Sachiel, running towards it, knife extended infront of her, she intends to take it out.

Plunging the knife into the core, the core shrieks, shifting sideways to throw the knife off of it after a few seconds

Eva 01 roars as the core begins rolling off, charging at it, dragging itself along the ground as fast as it can and attempting to grab the core and hold it in place.

Eva 01 attempts to swipe it off the ground, but manages to smash it through a building and lose grip on it, where it hung in the air and began to float lazily away from the city.

Eva 02 charges after the core, and tries to impale it on it's knife. ''Oh no you don't.'' Mellisa says, her EVA roaring in unison.

02's knife unexpectedly hit an AT field and was repulsed.
Lt Komansky turned in her chair, looking grim. "This looks like children playing with ball. Is hard to take seriously."


"Get the VTOLs and the Santiago ready to intercept the core if possible, I don't want it getting away from the evangelions" Katou nods at Komansky in response. "Unfortunately it's not too far from the truth"

Eva-01 seems rather displeased by the angel's dodging antics, charging towards it again on the ground, dragging itself forward on its hands and neutralising what's left of its AT Field.

The core falls to the ground, rolls a few meters, and stops.

Mellisa sighs as she sees the destruction around her. ''This ends now, you stupid thing.'' Unit 02 positions itself above the core, trying to stab it dead center.

Biting deeply into the core, the knife's rending sound sounds more like a scream. The core starts quivering, pulsing slowly with light.

"This is it" Katou concludes in triumph.

Eva 01 attempts to grab at the core, bashing it against the ground. Probably rather ineffectively, but damnit, Eva-01 wants to break through the tough shell and get to the soft chewy center.

The beastial eva is unable to control itself enough to grab it, and the core sits there, quivering

Unit 02 lunges forward again, trying to attack the core.

Shining white, the core explodes into a giant cross, shooting straight into the sky, incinerating the surrounding landscape.
Unit 02's paint chips a little, but it doesn't actually take any damage past that, oddly. But Unit 01 starts roaring.


Mellisa yelps as she can feel the force of the blast wash over her Eva, and she instinctively steps away from Unit 01, she searches for a nearby cable and finding a nearby socket she heads for it.''Katou, could you think of any way to stop Unit 01, I have the feeling it might find me a rather tasty target.''
Mellisa thinks about it for a second, and instead, she makes way for the beach. ''Katou, do you have any craft capable of supporting my EVA's weight in the water, I'm thinking of slowing Unit 02 down till we can find a way to stop it.''


Lt Smith makes eye contact with Katou, shaking his head. Lt Hikari speaks up. "You know, it's odd how opaque the lake is today, we couldn't see even half a meter down. If the angel didn't have such a strong AT field we'd have never known it was there."

"Miss Sakamoto, 01 only has one leg. I'm not sure how much more it'd need to be slowed down, but I'll work on it" Katou considers Smith's words for a bit. "Opaque? Now that you mention it, that does seem true. Anything out of the ordinary about the lake, besides that?"

Nadia Komansky doesn't look up from her console. "Da. Giant monster came out of lake. That is unusual, nyet?"

"Alright, besides that too" Katou shakes his head in slight amusement at Komansky's sarcasm.

Eva 01 is dragging itself towards Unit 02 who is presumably standing on the beach with a huge "deeeerp" look on its face.

Katou thinks for a while before contacting Mellisa. "Sakamoto. Head for the water, hide under the surface. It'll render you virtually invisible"

EVA-02 takes a few steps back, and jumps, with not too much force to cause a tidal wave, but still enough to propel her a fair bit into the waters of the lake. Should be deep enough to be submerged below the waters.

Evangelion Unit 01 stops dead in its tracks as Unit 02 leaps into the water, staring at the large waves caused by the Evangelion's submersion. It takes a few more steps forward (drags), looks again. Stops.

Winters stands up. "Captain, you handled this very well today. Excuse me, I need to file a report. I'll leave clean-up in your hands." With that, she was out the door -- almost at a run.
Evangelion eventually powered down, and recovery trucks and vtols were almost immediately on the scene. Choppers were out over the lake, recovering Mellissa from her entry plug at around the same time that Sayuri, crying, was helped out of hers by Desireé, who hugged Sayuri and handed her a stuffed animal. At a later hearing, Desireé remakred that the stuffed animal "wathn't my idea, thomeone thuggethted I bring it." Captain Musashi directed the NERV staff well to try and avoid as much life loss as possible.


Sayuri sobs quietly and leans into Desireé, hugging the stuffed animal and saying nothing, looking incredibly shaken.




[[Mini Post-Battle Sayuri Session]]

After being flown back to base, Sayuri's plugsuit arms and legs are removed to start an IV, and she's wheeled into a hospital room and transfered to a proper bed. Winters was already sitting next to the bed, filling out forms. She didn't even acknowledge Sayuri's presence, but continued to sit there even after all the attending nurses and personnel had left. Sayuri was apparently supposed to "rest before we give you some exams, you poor thing."

Sayuri lies in the bed, staring up at the ceiling and hugging the stuffed toy against her chest tightly like a security blanket. She's still shaking a little, but seems a lot calmer than when she was taken out of the Eva. After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling she finally becomes aware of Winter's presence by the side of the bed, turning her head to face her, "C-Commander?"

Winters continues filling out forms. "Yes, Michishio?"

Sayuri bites her lower lip, looking confused and nervous, "I... I'm sorry, Commander. I failed." She whispers, pulling the stuffed toy up closer to her face, "Are you going to replace me?" She asks in an even quieter voice.

Alexa Winters put her pen down, and turned away from Sayuri for several long moments, possibly minutes. When she turned back, her face was composed. "No. You did a good job, Sayuri. What happened wasn't your fault, and Sakamoto would probably not have succeeded without you."

Sayuri blinks at that, staring at Alexa for a moment, a faint smile forming on her lips, though it remains hidden behind the head of the stuffed animal, "I did?" She asks softly, before the look of confusion returns, "B-but... why are you here, Commander?"

Winters is quiet again for a few moments. "Because it's not right for you to be alone right now. I'll leave if you want."

Sayuri quickly shakes her head, "N-no!" She exclaims, then looks shocked at her own outburst, blushing brightly and looking away, "I... th-that is... it's... nice having someone here. I don't want to... be alone right now." She murmurs, "I'm sorry."

Turning a page on her clipboard, Winters resumes writing. "I know you don't. That's why I'm here."

Sayuri smiles faintly and remains hugging her stuffed toy, lying on her side and just looking at Winters, not saying anything to distract her, not wishing to be a burden on her Commander who's being so kind and keeping her company.

Still writing, Winters spoke up. "I have a few questions, actually; there's some things I'm not sure if I should leave out of my reports yet. First of all, how is your leg feeling?"

Sayuri winces a little at the mention of her leg, "It still hurts a little, but... I know it's just in my head. I look down and I can see it's there, but..." She shudders at the memory, "It... it felt like it was gone."

In response, Winters sighed. "Michishio, do you mind if I teach you a few things?"

Sayuri blinks in surprise at the question, sitting up a little, looking a bit confused, "N-no, Commander. Teach me what?" She asks, curious.

Winters stood up, and pulled Sayuri's blanket partially to the side. "Lesson 1." With that, she stabbed Sayuri's right leg with her pen. "As long as you can feel pain, it means you're still there. Pain hurts, but it's just telling you, "I'm still alive, I'm still alive."'

Sayuri yelps faintly at the stab with the pens, wincing and biting down on her lower lip, lowering her hand to rub her leg a little and nodding, "A-ah... y-yes, Commander. I understand..." She stammers, blinking back tears.

"Lesson 2 goes with lesson 1. Anything really worth learning hurts." With that, she pulled the blanket back over Sayuri and sat down next to her. "Pain is what kept me alive, by telling me I was alive. But onto my second question. What happened in the Entry Plug?"

Sayuri blinks as the blanket is drawn up over her, and Alexa sits on the bed next to her, "I... when? There was... something. It felt like... someone else." She says, furrowing her brows, "Or something. I felt something brush against my mind, when the Angel took down my AT Field, and then Shogouki went Berserk and wouldn't stop no matter how much I asked... it wouldn't stop, even when the angel\ was dead." She starts tearing up again, "I could have killed Sakamoto-senpai. I... my Eva caused so much damage because I couldn't keep it under control."

Rubbing her temples with her scarred right arm, Winters sighed. "Alright. We don't know why it happened, but Sakamoto's fine. Last I heard, she was having ice cream. And you're both heroes, as far as the news will be concerned. I hoped I'd never have to see another berserk Evangelion. With luck, Sayuri, that'll be the only time Unit 01 overpowers you."

"I hope so." Sayuri murmurs, curling up a little and hugging her stuffed animal tightly, "I don't feel like a hero. I was just doing what I was made for. But that's okay. I'll do it better next time." She says quietly.

Her voice flat, Winters nodded. "What you were made for. I'm sure they'll be glad to hear that..." She fell silent again as she returned to morosely filling out forms while sitting next to Sayuri's bed.

Sayuri lifts her head, "I... I didn't... I mean... oh..." She curls up a little tighter, "I'm sorry Commander. I pilot the Eva to protect people. To protect everyone. That is what I was made for, isn't it?" She asks, "I don't mind that. I don't mind fighting to save everyone. If I need to give my life to stop the angels I'll do that too." She says quietly, "It's hard, though. It's so hard. And scary."

"Yes. I know what you mean."
Shifting subjects, Winters flipped a page on her clipboard. "How do you feel about Captain Musashi so far?"


Sayuri blinks at Winter's saying that she knows what she means, then smiles faintly at the second question, "He seems nice, and without his support I don't think we would have been able to handle the angel as well as we did." She says, "He was very competant, all things considered. He only just got here less than an hour ago and he did so well..."

Nodding Alexa wrote in silence. "I think that's all the questions I'll need. I'm sorry your first fight turned out like this."

"I'm not." Sayuri says, releasing her stuffed animal and sitting up a bit more, looking to Alexa, "I got hurt, and Shogouki was damaged, and I lost control of it... and I wish I could have prevented those things, but I'm not sorry about the outcome. We stopped the angel. That's something to be happy about, isn't it?"

Snorting, Winters stared at the ceiling. "Don't get me wrong, Michishio. I'm well aware what the stakes are. If you know what the important thing is, then that's all that matters. ...Still, if you don't mind, I'll stay with you the rest of the night. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, though I may not answer."

Sayuri smiles a little at that, "I don't mind if you stay, Commander." She says softly, reaching out and gently taking one of Winter's hands in her own, giving it a little squeeze, "Thank you." She murmurs, closing her eyes, "It's nice not to be alone."

Winters was silent, looking at the 12 year old girl. "Yeah. It is."

Sayuri hugs the stuffed animal against herself with one arm, her other hand, small and frail, squeezes Winter's softly as the young girl begins to succumb to exhaustion, "Goodnight, Commander." She murmurs quietly.
