OOC: NO SESSION LAST WEEK

In case anyone was wonder why I didn't update last week, it's because there was no game the previous week, sorry everyone...

Next week is not going to happen either, more or less I have to go make up lost work time, because of the illness that kept me from running last week...


Yay......

Maryann's Journal Entry #5

((Journal Day 5))
Well it was a pretty ok day today. I don’t remember most of it really. I think I woke up, but I dunno. Oh, I did get to pig out on snacks and play videogames! So that was pretty fun. Tear and the others, eh, they do their own thing so I don’t really bother them at all. Except that new kid…I did kinda stalk him a bit before I got bored and went somewhere else.
Oh oh….there was this one minor issue. The next Angel appeared, and it was, awfully fast for a fat assed creature. It was too scary, especially cause I got so scared when I first layed eyes on it, that thing was just, unnatural, for an Angel. Luckily I was able to get over it though I felt ill still the entire time. They (NERV) made me take a nifty beam rifle this time. Which was kinda cool, I could see for days with that thing, but it was still kinda hard to use cause its so new. I felt rather useless still cause I missed a few times, and when I did hit, I didn’t do much to it, basically Tear and the new kid did most the cool work. What ever….Im going to go to sleep now….

Episode 5: The Lightning of God

It's name was Barbiel, the 4th angel. a flying insect, with arms that turned to projectile spikes, a mouth that shot block destroying lasers....

Like the angel that came before it, it died an inglorious death, not even lasting as long as it's predecessor, not even being able to say that it destroyed and Eva first.

The session started with all 4 pilots being deployed into combat, the VTOLS were long since being routed by the flying monster, it was truly a terror of the sky.

Once again, Only Maryann was unable to maintain control of her Fear, as it griped her sending her almost into a blind panic for Issac's Eva to hide behind, she mastered this fear swiftly and was only out of her wits for a few moments.

The other pilots charged the Angel, spreading there At fields in various fashions, Issac narrowly avoided an early defeat when the Angel blasted the Embarkation point with a powerful laser blast.

The angel, wasted precious moments smiling with mocking glee at the Evangelions, after-all how could these tiny creatures be a threat to it, even as Emil was raising his own AT field into the danger zone. Maryann being unable to get a proper bead on the angel, and failing to hit it, several times probably did not help the situation. Eventually the Angel grew board, and with a sickening cracking sound, extended it's clawed fingers, one spike tore through the head of Tear's Eva, almost "Killing it" Two more spiked ripped into Emil's torso, a 4th spike caused the head armor of Issac's Eva to shatter leaving only fragments of it's head armor.

This pushed the Pilots to the the limits of there anger, as part of the quickly devised and unspoken plan, Emil grabbed Tear and Hammer tossed her onto the the back of the Angel, this one act spelled the eventual death of the angel.

From this point, Tear did little but rip the angel apart, where Maryann would place a shot, Tear would capitalize, ripping one of it's arms off, mauling it's wing, Emil and Issac tried to stay involved in the battle, with Emil trying to propel Issac up there as well, but the Angel was a bit wiser by this point, and took steps to evade the monster, just out of reach of Tear's efforts to catch Issac before he made the long 800 meter drop back to the earth.

At the end of the day, Tear struck the killing blow, finally having enough of the Angel, she reared back and punched straight down claws first, tearing past the meat of it's torso and shattering it's protected and armored core in a single blow (in game the pilot inflicted about 23 damaged directly to the core with one insanely lucky damage roll), a blow so mighty that the angel's genetic structure fell apart in seconds....

Then Tear fell to the earth, suffering a few bumps and bruises like Issac had before her, but she was at the end of the day, fine.

It was a victory to be sure, and a stronger finish that the last battle, the 4th angel couldn't withstand the might of the Evangelions, and the pilots as a team proved it this day. Tear was praised by both Emil and Tyrone Johnson for her performance that day, but while tear may of fought like a demon during the battle, but outside of the Evangelion, she was still the shy little girl she always was.

Issac was quite silent for the rest of the day, He had seen the face of his Eva in the reflection of it's of the liquid fluids it was at rest in... and something.... happened that disturbed him...

After the mission, the pilots settled into there evening post Angel slaughter routine, Tear had gone out for a walk, and came across a man name Ryoji, who had an important package for Rachael, he didn't say what it was, but he had recognized her as a pilot.

So because it was clearly a package for Rachael, and she was still holding a grudge against Rachael for the prank Rachel played last session, she hid it under her bed... and then shoved Rachel's slippers into the garbage disposal while a somewhat amused Emil watched on.

The next morning, Rachel, after implying the severity one "could" be punished for hiding such important documents and actually threw words including "treason" out there managed to get Tear to Pony up the package, went and checked in on Issac, who was still deeply disturbed by what transpired in his plug the previous day. While Rachel went and started going over the files, Tear went out and Maryann and Emil enjoyed a game of Twister.... in there underwear... much to Rachel's displeasure.

Tear while out ran into Brad, significantly less goth, and sporting some crutches, they had a pleasant conversation and the bare bones of friendship were formed before they parted ways.

The session ended with Rachel pondering if it would be okay to tell the pilots about what she had found inside of the last angel...

Meanwhile, Hunter, Johnson, and Ryoji, bring the episode looking at a tube in an unknown location, watching a white haired young boy....

And the boy is opening his eyes.


((OOC: If Issac was the informal MVP of the first angel battle with his hammer, then the team of Emil and Tear would probably be seen as the MVPs of this round.

Emil for getting Tear up to the angel, and Tear for the absolutely balls out lunacy that just kept making the grapple dice work for her, keeping her on the Angels back for most of the fight untill the fatefull killing blow.

It was a fun fight to GM, but it left to many PC's on the sidelines, Issac frankly didn't get a chance to contribute to the fight, and Maryann and Emil, for there efforts were only set up for the one Eva they got up there, I learned a bit about how to set up angels in the future to give the pilots more to do during it honestly))

Maryann's Journal Entry #4

((Journal Entry 4))
Not much happened today, well, sorta. We heard of some weirdo mercenary group, Blackwatch or what ever totally invaded Germany and wrecked their stuff. And on top of that they blew up a computer, with themselves! Crazy, right? Oh appearently we’re gonna be getting some new weapons soon. Thank GOD since our current crap is, well….crap. Yay! Ive been working on my shooting and stuff and hopefully I get a new rifle or something, anything that’s better than a pallet rifle.

Oh Oh, we got this new pilot today too. I think he’s Italian or something, I dunno, don’t really care actually. All I know is, he’s almost as good a dresser as me! Not sure if that’s good or bad, but I gotta say, he and Tank Boy make pretty good body guards, which thankfully I stalked the new kid when I did cause that hussy Tammy was there and she wanted to throw down and what not. To make it worse, she totally ruined my party dress! Its soooo awful! Now I have to go buy a new one, but they’ll prolly not even have it anymore.

Oh, haven’t heard from Julie in a while, I wonder whats up with her and that boyfriend of hers. They’re all acting awfully weird lately. Oh well, I got my crew and our Eva’s so yeah, that’s all we need to totally stomp the shit outa shit…and stuff.


Mata Ne!

Episode 4: New Blood

The episode opened up on the pilots at a local ice cream parlor with members of the RND team, who was celebrating the sudden influx of Data to there computers from the German computers, most of them didn't actually know what had occurred in Germany, much of the staff would never know..

The Pilots knew, Rachel had been keeping them informed. She had felt they deserved to know. There involvement at this little party was interrupted with a grand reveal, the Vatican, who had previously denied the Seattle branch a 4th pilot had relented.

By sending one of there own pilots to represent there interests at  Seattle. A Tacoma refugee, who was born in 2001, Emil Bieleski was hardly what the Seattle branch would of personally wanted, a Civilian, no military training, and a severe fanatical streak, believing he was chosen by god for this task, he was introduced to the staff almost a full day before his Evangelion was to arrive, it was only by sheer luck that the Seattle branch had an Evangelion cage set up for it (or was it fate?).

He was at least, on the surface, a very polite young man to the other pilots, Maryann had herself taken an early liking to the young red headed youth, after taken the time to get to know the other pilots, to differing degree's of success, he had left for the movie theater, Maryann got swiftly changed and followed Emil.

Emil was already at the theater dressed as an "Italian Pimp" when Maryann had arived, she didn't get much of a chance to speak to the new pilot however.

Tammy, a classmate, and the head cheerleader, who Maryann had previously blamed the theft of a classmates personal belongings (Maryann was the thief), had spotted Maryann, and a confrontation broke out. Tammy more or less called Maryann a bitch and threw a drink at her, staining her outfit, Emil was quick to leap to Maryann's aid, and seemed to of been ready to issue a certain degree of violence against the girl when she called him "Pimp-Boy"

While Emil distracted Tammy and her two male goons, Maryann called in their big guns, Issac walked into the theater shortly afterwards, having been driven there by Agents M and W, it didn't take long for Issac and Emil to notice that S2 agents in the arcade, was making there presence known, and was slowly but surely reaching for weapons. Thankfully Issac's reputation after his recent in class fight, defused the situation quickly, and the pilots were removed from the scene quickly by S2.

Meanwhile Tear had gone for a walk, and was being less than discretely being followed by S2, who was apparently just there to make sure she knew they were there.

The Next day, after Rachel broke her cooking curse over her knee, and deposited it's body in the dumpster with a breathtakingly amazing meal of  "Colorful Roast Beef and Spinach Pie topped with Broiled Walnut Pilaf", and a better than average breakfast the next morning, the pilots took the time to help RND choose out a focus of research for the installation, it was seen that it would be best for them to be involved since at the end of the day, they would be the ones using the weapons. They opted to start manufacturing prototypes of MASER based weapons, to cushon a weakness in there ability to fight at ranged...

The was for the best, as the pilots looked on at the New Evangelion, freshly delivered fro Emil, a terrible sight filled the sky's near Mount Rainier.

The next angel was on it's way, and this one was flying.

Tear's Journal Entry #3

    After the battle we had some kind of party in celebration of the death of the Angel,  Celebration that the Angel could be killed and Eva's were the weapon that could accomplish this.  Everyone was cheering and congratulating us.  I was very uncomfortable with all the attention and left as soon as i could.  The next few days were quite nice because we were kept out of school and were able to stay home. 

    Then something quite shocking occurred while I was watching TV.  There was video footage of our battle with the Angel!  Rachel totally freaked out.  Soon we were called into a briefing to determine what to do with the person who took the footage.  I simply suggested that we discredit him as a reliable source of information and put him in an institution.  However everyone else was insistent that he must be also killed.  They came up with this complicated plan about staging a fake terrorist attack and killing him in a bombing on a NERV facility.  Sigh, this was completely unnecessary and a waste of resources.  Also if the poor bastard had life insurance his family would loose it cause he died in a criminal action.  Whatever, no one really seems to care what I think anyway.

    Well we had to go back to school eventually.  It wasn't so bad, I guess I'm getting used to it somewhat.  So, one day one of the other students actually came up to me and started a conversation.  It was pointless small talk but it was kinda nice to interact with someone different, and Beary was with me so I was OK.  Apparently Issac didn't think it was though.  He confronted this kid and then proceeded to kick the crap out a him.  Although I was a bit annoyed by the interruption it was a treat to see Issac in action out of his Eva.  Although this has been an uneventful few weeks I was proud of myself for engaging in a conversation with a regular person and not just ignoring him.

Maryann's Journal Entry #3

((Journal Day #3))

Today was a good day, went out with some friends, seen a movie and ya know, just generally hang out and stuff. Though they were soo nosey, trying to ask where me and the rest of the pilots were. Luckily I gave them the slip. Oh oh, we had a test today, which I totally failed. What ever. I hate math anyway. OH oh, I didn’t really see it cause Julie was talkin my ear off, but Tank Boy totally mauled this weirdo gothic kid with the ceiling. It was like, so awesome, so I heard.


However, there was something else too. I went on my usual prowl while everyone was distracted. And guess what, I found a nice 1st Edition Sack Buddy, purple no less. Sad thing is….it was Julie’s. Guess it isn’t anymore. I got lucky though, Julie almost blamed me for it…but I got smart and layed the blame on Tammy, who, by the way, Im totally going to bring her down. That head cheerleading job will totally be mine and mine alone, MWAHAHA!


Er, yeah, anyway. Today was a pretty nice day. No Angel, no nothing. Oh, Im thinking about requesting gatling gun for my Eva. Do you think they’ll let me have one? I hope so. I mean, anything is better than a craptastic pallet rifle, right?

Episode 3: Politics of an Angelic War

((This post is admitting kinda late, I lost allot time this week due to illness, so here goes))

After the battle, Issac, Maryann, and Tear were all given the heroes treatment, there were pats on the back, and Nerv headquarters let out a joyous sigh of relief, the debriefing was more party than actual debriefing, with Johnson kinda half-assed a sort of debrief while food and alcohol was spread around....

But they realized... at the time they really didn't learn anything about the angels, except that they could die, and that there weapons were less than effective against them.

They needed the Research data from the Germany Branch... and they were holding out on them...

But after the briefing the pilots went off to perform some much needed downtime activities after the whirlwind day they had at that point. Issac went off to write up a report of the battle, and his thoughts on a command interface designed to allow him to command conventional forces from his Plug, which he described as being truly pathetic. Tear lurked in the background, seemingly fascinated by pilot Issac, though her reasons for this was left unknown, Issac heard from one of the "Bridge staffers" named Kyle Raynor, that the entire bridge staff deeply respected the pilots and that it was a "Privilege" to serve with him... Kyle wanted to tell Issac something else, but was cut off by Issac who warned Kyle about the "Repercussions" of discussing classified information with him.

 Because of the events, Command determined it would be best to have the pilots stay at home for the next several days, the days were slow and tedious, with each pilots committing to there various activities, Maryann spent time talking with a friend from school named Julie, who was the classic ditzy blonde preppy, and her her boyfriend Tom, both a Prep and a Jock. Tear spent allot of time watching TV, and Issac worked out for the most part, Two S2  agents, who were known only as "Agent M" a burly tank of a man, and "Agent W" a more outgoing and some-watt talkative Asian man, who would prove to be a rather good cook.

On the third night... Rachael didn't come home, it wouldn't be till the next day till she made .it home.  She found something inside of the angel, that deeply shocked and disturbed her, Maryann, tried to get out of her what she saw, but she was sworn to secrecy and wouldn't budge, but she did confide in the three pilots that talks with the Germany branch were breaking down, that they were actually holding out on the research data due to Rachael rejecting there pilot candidate, and only her immediate reassignment to the Seattle base (which due to the Vatican Treaty would require them to release one of the existing pilots) would appease them.

A frustrated Issac offered up suggestions, the one that stuck was to see if they could renegotiate the treaty to allow the 4th pilot to join them, The Vatican at one point was going to allow a 4th pilot to join there installation after all under the condition that they pilot would be one of there choosing.

Meanwhile... tear watching TV found herself stopping on a local news station, who had somehow managed to get footage from the angel attack and was broadcasting it over live television! there was much swearing as Rachael called the incident in, and after requesting, in a rare bout of anger from her that they "discredit or kill the person who filmed the battle", When Issac seriously favored Assassination, and Maryann jokingly backed him up (later to her horror when it was taken seriously), Rachael was quick to point out there support of the idea...

A decision would be held behind a close doors meeting, with the pilots involved, which ended up in a decision, to kill the cameraman, and blame the damage in the area, as a terrorist explosion, which Nerv was going to set off on there own property, but blamed on the cameraman. Once that was settled it was decided the Pilots would go back to school starting tomorrow. While Commander Hunter was present at this meeting, he added little to it.

In what had to of been by this point, must of been an (un)welcome change of pace, the kids were sent back to school the next day, the day was not without incident. Issac displayed a painful lack of good judgement, when a student named Brad, apparently the resident Goth kid, tried to make small talk with Tear, badmouthing Maryann for hanging out with the "Preppy rich kids" and discussing taste in music.

Well Issac didn't much care for this boy badmouthing a comrade, and he responded, first with an insult, calling Brad a "Smeer" (likely due to what Brad would become if he didn't back down), To which Brad, rather uncreativity, and unwisely called Issac a "Meat head"...

Brad's next experience was him hitting the ceiling, and then landing baddy on his knee, breaking it in the process. Which of course let to Issac being escorted from the class and directly two the principal's office. During the commotion, Maryann committed a second act of theft, this time against her friend Julie, Maryann, despite trying to resist the urge two, stole a first edition purple "Sack Baby" toy from Julies back, this would come back later to haunt her.

Meanwhile in the office, Rachael and Agent W, had made it there in record time to face the principal for Issac's actions, Both the S2 agent, and Rachael were of course rather pissed that Issac had shown such poor restraint during the day's actions. In the end, Rachel had made a substantial donation (the exact amount was unclear, lets just say "Enough") to allow Issac to stay in classes, but Rachael had promised Issac on the spot there would be repercussions for what he did, either way, Issac, to the shock (and awe) of all involved, was back in class after only two hours.

So, while everyone was hyped up, and highly distracted by the turn of events, had to suffer through another of Mr Phelps now infamous pop-quiz's. While Issac performed well, far better than his first performance, Maryann and Tear's lack of study time showed up in force, Tear had barely scraped by with a "D", and Maryann failed and was asked to stay behind after class for a few minutes.

After school, like Promised, Issac had punishment handed down for his failure to show restraint during his day, and was directly ordered to not go to the Gym to work out for a week, a mild punishment overall, but one that time will tell if it had any impact on the pilot.

The next morning, Rachel was up before the Pilots, and after talking to Issac, revealed something she had just learned... Talks with the German Branch broke down... and they were going to send a Strike Team in to Take the Research data by force.

NEXT EPISODE: Can Strike Team Wolf  get the all important research data from the German Nerv Branch? Or will this only spell the beginning of a Civil War Within NERV? Watch this blog for the results of the first Side story episode "The Raid on NERV Germany!"

Maryann's Journal Entry #2

Today started out well enough, until that damned Angel showed up. Guess it wasn’t a whale after all. The good news was, we had some time before the thing actually made landfall. The bad news is, when it did, those stupid tanks and aircraft did absolutely nothing to it except annoy it. Go figure. Me and Tear got to go meet the Angel first. The tank boy took forever. Please note, this Angel was scary as hell. I mean the first moment I got there it decided it didn’t like me first, of all people, me! Luckily I threw up the best AT Field there ever was, that shit was like an anti-Angel brick wall. IT was pure awesome.

But I digress.. It also turns out that the equipment the ‘adults’ gave us, sucked ass. I mean seriously, I had my arm vaporized off, had my leg armor stripped away, been blasted with some fancy beam weapon point blank, and this thing took forever to die. What the hell is Nerv doing? They have these fancy schmancy walking tanks and they can’t afford better-than-shitty weaponry? I wonder who we really should be fighting against, Angels or the lack of intelligence on our superiors’ behalf. What ever. All I know is, I do NOT want to fight ever again. I've never been subjected to such horror and pain all in one sitting. I cant even think about my Eva without my arm hurting and me getting a headache.

Though I guess the best part of all that was the hammer that the tank boy used. I heard they wanna keep it as a trophy or something, I dunno… boy stuff. Personally I don’t want to see anything having to do with that encounter, though I'm sure they’re gonna show us recordings again…bastards…

Tear's Journal Entry #2

Well this was it, The Angel has appeared!  The day I have been training for has finally arrived.  I couldn't wait to be with Rellik in actual combat.  Unfortunately, they decided to waste time by attacking The Angel with tanks and planes.  These were swiftly and effortlessly destroyed.  Finally it was our turn.  There was a battle plan that involved marry-Ann and I assaulting The Angel in a pincer attack while Issac came up the elevator and attacked from behind.  The plan failed horribly, because the regular military attack failed so bad we had no prep time.  I didn't mind it just meant I got to fight sooner.

The Angel was horrifying beyond explanation.  A monster out of a psychopath's nightmare.  I still felt safe because I was with Rellik,  Mary-Ann however totally lost it, but was still able to protect herself until I was able to get there.  I assaulted the angel with a bloodthirsty rage but this things flesh was much more resistant than I could have Imagined and was unable to hurt it noticeably.  The battle went poorly from there.  We barely managed to hold our own while The Angel continuously tore into us.  After our power cables were destroyed by some kind of energy blast, that I somehow was able to mostly avoid, I knew what I had to do.  I let my battery run out in the hopes that Rellik would awaken.  It worked!  My Darling awoke and was finally able to injure The Angel.  In the end, against all odds, we defeated the angel that had destroyed 01 and caused the destruction of Japan.

Classifed Report #1

((Note this is going to be away to open up some of the secrets of the game to the reader, this is not information known by the pilots and will not be brought up in the game until dramatically important))


TO: Tyrone Johnson (Tyrone.Johnson@NERVSEATTLE.NET)
FROM: Rachel Martel (Rachel.Martel@NERVSEATTLE.NET)

Tyrone, We are were in process of taking samples from the Angel for study, when we made an pecular discovery inside of the Angel.....

Sir.... The pilot of Evangelion 01 was still alive in there, he's been locked up in isolation in med bay pending a full medical, and psychological examination, I should have a full report for you within the hour.

TO: Rachel Martel (Rachel.Martel@NERVSEATTLE.NET)
FROM:  Tyrone Johnson (Tyrone.Johnson@NERVSEATTLE.NET)

Your damn right you are Rachel.... Tell no one, silence any witnesses who saw the boy already, and for fucks sake don't tell the pilots about this..... 

This is coming straight from hunter, He's convening an emergency session with our sponsors to discuss this turn of events, keep him sedated for now.

TO: Tyrone Johnson (Tyrone.Johnson@NERVSEATTLE.NET)
FROM: Rachel Martel (Rachel.Martel@NERVSEATTLE.NET)


Trust me, that's not going to be hard, almost no one from my team was in there when we discovered him. He's Catatonic as it stands, which I supposed is to be expected when your mind is exposed that much to such a terrible and alien intelligence such as the Angel.

Issac's Journal Entry #2

((This Journal post was filed after the destruction of the third Angel))

We had are first encounter with the enemy today, amazingly it was the angel from Japan which not only brutally killed the 01 but had also some how absorbed it into itself.

 The enemy was tough, willing to do what it took to win (A.K.A point blank detonation), and had some heavy fire power which greatly outmatched are pitiful if not laughable arsenal. As I suspected our conventional weapons had little to no effect on the enemy which caused us to loose many good soldiers.

Mary Ann quickly lost herself to fear but was able to pull herself back and showed a surprising level of accuracy with her Pallet Rife evidently the correction that she had received do to her lack of performance in fire training was on point. Tear’s Eva showed more speed then I could had ever hoped for which will prove very useful in battles to come but did not have the strength and weight to effect much harm to the enemy. I’m shore that issue can and will be addressed with the much needed weapon tech R&D we need. We lost sight of tactics through the middle of the fight tacking dealing some heavy damage, but we were able to come back together in the end and defeat the enemy.

Sub-note several of the support staff want to keep the hammer I used in the battle to commemorate the victory I’m reluctant to give it up but if they would be willing to let me keep the two bone armor face plates from the angel we may have a agreement. I think they would not only stand out as a message to our future enemy’s but also look great tacked on to my Eva’s Gorget.

Maryann's Journal Entry #1

((Authors note, this actually takes place before Episode 2, I had just posted this out of order))

((Initial Entry from the journal of Pilot Mary-Ann Smith, A.T. Tactitian))

Oh wow, today was a weird day, met all kinds of weird people, again, as usual, not sure if I like any of them yet, but they SEEM nice. I met this one boy(Chase), well I don’t think he’s a boy at all he looks more like a military grade vehicle than a boy. OMG! He cant do math even, he soooo got caught by the teacher, which was pretty funny really. Me? I did awesome! Oh oh, and we did PE today too, and well, naturally, I did better than everyone else in the entire class. I dunno, I guess Momma and Papa raised me right.

OH oh, we also went to this restaurant place, I dunno what it was called, but it was awfully weird cause it was empty when we got there, and I swear the same guys that rode in the long car with us were in the restaurant too…weirdos. Anyway, my original thoughts about the tank boy were true. He eats like a tank for sure, he almost ate the restaurant itself, it was kind of scary but kinda awesome at the same time. Oh, I totally forgot, there was this other girl there, I think something’s wrong with her, she’s so, morbid looking, like she isn’t even human or something. Anyway, after all that, we actually went to get enrolled in school and didn’t actually go till the next day.

Oh oh oh, It turns out, that during my trainings, I can do more stuff with a nifty Eva’s A.T. Field than everyone else in the team can! Oh yes, I am quite sure that I am the best, most strongest member of the team, right now. I dunno what else I can do with this A.T. stuff, maybe I can make blades and stuff too. I know it would be most awesome if I can use it to travel where ever I want!

Oh darn, sorry journal, I have to go now, we’re being called back for something, hell if I know, I overheard someone say something about a massive blue whale, but I don’t know why we need to go back for that. Why do we even have blue whales anyway? By the way, what does a blue whale look like? Oh now I gotta go, the weirdos with the shades are glaring at me. Au Dieu!

Episode 2: The Carnivore

((The following report is not from any particular perspective, but rather it's a recap of the battle against the 3rd Angel, supplemental material and NPC reactions will follow))

"The angel is going to hit landfall in the area of Poverty bay, after the Tanks and VTOLS attempt to stall the angel, we'll make our strike" Was the briefing as Tyrone Johnson gave it...

That is not how the fight went down

As the battle plan was suppose to go down, the tanks and VTOL aircraft would have led the Angel into the red zone, so the Eva's could take it down in a coordinated 3 way strike... The tanks were completely useless, actually inflicting damage to the area, and not the angel, the strikes from the VTOLS stalled it... for moments... before 2 squads of VTOLS were destroyed...

The Eva's were for deployed in two waves, Tear and Maryann went up first, Issac tried to leap up to join the squad, forced to ride of the Embarkation elevator, but couldn't manage to make the leap in his heavy Evangelion.

Maryann was the only slightly slower to react to the Angel as it attempted to strike the first blow against her eva, it was only by miracle, that Maryann was able to throw her AT field in front of her, shielding herself for almost a minute as Tear Futilely struck at the angel....

Maryann was scared, she was shaking down to her core, barely keeping her self from vomiting.... it was the revelation... this Angel... this Angel was the one who killed the Japan pilot, the one that survived the destruction of Japan... and here it stood, a Horror beyond compare, massive maws in it's hands, and a giant monstrous mouth in it's stomach....

It was Sachiel.... reformed as a great Carnivore, one that hungered for Evangelions... it was also... more disturbingly merged with Evangelion 01... and clearly had become much stronger for it.

Sachiel was pounding against the Barrier that Maryann had raised, with Tear having gone Semi-Berserk in her Plug was smashing away at the thick hide with her claws to no effect, Issac was charging in, the battle had started far short of the original operation point, the Secondary umbilicals were being rushed to be moved into position if there were needed as the angel poured rage and hate into Maryann's barrier.

Maryann's efforts to swallow fear were only hindered further as Tear leaped straight into a AT-field as it was revealed that the Angels had AT fields... which would have made this far more difficult, she just couldn't bring herself to advance to striking distance. At this Issac arrived rushing in with his prog-knife trying to stab through the AT field as he was attempting to negate the AT-Field as he was trained failed to break the Angels field. Tear Threw her self into the field breaking it's field, but being blocked by it's tough hide. and Maryann, seeing her fellow pilots in the fight, let fly with her pallet riffle, inflicting some light damage just as the angel grabbed one of Issac's arms and bit into it, almost taking the entire arm off!

Then the angel with a glance over at Maryann, who let the barrier fall, caused a massive explosion, Maryann was caught in the middle of a massive cross shaped explosion that ripped several city blocks apart and melting the armor completely off of Maryann's  right leg!

While Issac attempted to grapple the angel, and failed at it, Tear took the opportunity to strike out at the legs with it's claws, causing shallow scratches in the angels flesh, Seeing her timer counting down, Mary fell back to one of the secondary Umbilicals and plugged herself back in.

Issac at this point was clearly tired of the angels shit and pulled out a large one handed warhammer, Akin to the hammer of Thor and swing strong and true at the Angel's right knee, almost causing it to loose grip, it was only able to stay standing by grabbing, and biting, into Issac's right arm. Tear tried to capitalize on this by leaping at the angels face, but her claws couldn't get through the bone like mask on it's "head" and Maryann failed no better as she fired off the rest of her clip into the angel.

This would start the long and bloody beginning of the Angel's end, Issac fought like the Norse god of war personified with his Warhammer! He swung and smashed into the angels torso inflicting some pretty serious damage against it, Tear as able to savage the Left leg of the angel like a really pissed off ankle biting beast. Maryann through concentrated effort made the Angel's At field a non factor, where it would stay the rest of the battle.

The battle would degenerate for the next few moments into testing swings, and maneuvering, until Issac took advantage of a slight drop into the angels guard to run in and shatter the angel's knee, to which the angel could only counter with a few light scratches in Issac's paint, Tear leap onto the angels shoulders to keep it off balance and stabbed the tip of her prog-knife into the angels face, performing minimal damage. Meanwhile Maryann having long sense mastered her own fear stabbed the angel, but hit an armored portion of it and couldn't score a damaging hit.


Then the angel the unthinkable, It detonated one of it's cross blasts point blank where they were standing, everyone including the angel was thrown back, the damage to every one was severe... the Angel's face mask was cracked and partial melted... Issac had serious damaged to his chest plate and was left reeling for a moment in the plug,  Tear was pulling herself to her feet....

Maryann, as the smoke, was grabbing the cauterized stump of her left arm... screaming in her very real pain, as the shock of the damage actually affected her in the plug. Issac seeing this, rushed in to inflict damage by hammer and the knife, ignoring the timers on there Evangelions as there precious internal battery life ticked down!

It wasn't until Issac smashed the angel in the fact, actually breaking the mask off of it... and finding himself looking eye to eye with the face of Evangelion 01, did he snap back and realize his situation, to late however to prevent his Evangelion's violent disembowelment at the hands of the Angel. af this was happening, Tear as softening off the angels legs for what would soon be the opening that would bring the great beast down.

Tear ignored her Battery timer, as the numbers went below the one minute mark, as the Plug's computer warned her that she was about to run out of power... Tear knew damn well this was about to happen... she had a plan.... if she survived this.

As Tears Angel went limp and slumped to the ground, and as the angel was preparing to strike a likely killing blow against the now helpless pilot, Issac pulled his Big damn heroes moment for the session, tear had softened up the angels legs so much that Issac was actually able to smash his hammer into the angels  Left leg, Shattering the bones and bringing the monster down.

It's really unknown if for a moment, Issac thought it was over, or if a small bit of pride took over... but next thing Issac knew, the angel reached out... and Issac stumbled back in pain... looking at his now detached left arm laying on the ground next to him... the shock of it all... the sheer suddenness of it... stunned him sickened the pilot momentary....

He almost didn't notice that Tear's Eva had stood up howling.....

If there was a collective "Oh shit" moment of the battle... it was when Tear's Eva went berserk... It stood up under it's own power... infused with rage, and left at the angel tearing, stabbing, killing.

Maryann joined in the brutal assault stabbing the angel with her own prog-knife, a one armed Issac also joined to hammer away at the Angel.

Issac smashed the angels head in, destroying the Angel's head for the most part... Tear bit down on the angels leg hard enough to fracture the leg.  and Maryann Stabbed the leg with such brutality that it fell back down, leaving it open for tear to rip off the rest of the way tossing it away into the distance. Issac Kept it down with repeated hammer blows, one of which exploded what was left of the angels head, which Tear then tore apart taking most of the torso with it.....

They finshed it in true team fashion.... while Tear held it's ribs apart, Maryann stabbed the core, and Issac with his hammer, smashed the knife in, finishing the job...

One could imagine what was going through Maryann and Issac's heads... Tear was still in her Enraged Eva... which almost to easily sat down and simply went back to sleep.... Tear was fine inside and no worse for wear....

As the cheers rang out over the intercom, the scene faded to black....

Issac's Journal Entry #1

(From the personal log of Eva pilot Isaac chase)

I finally arrived at my posting in Seattle 2 where I met the other two pilots that have been assigned to. First off I must say that they are not what I expected, physically I find both to be very slight, frail, and altogether inadequate or at least that's how they appear. Although they may appear to be the physical equivalent of varying normal every day civilian teenagers, their physical abilities are actually far beyond that of what they appear to be able to achieve. Something tells me that neither of these pilots are wholly natural in their origin but to what extent and how that lies in the realm of expertise beyond mine. Now mentally pilot Mary Ann, although at first appeared to be timid and personality, she quickly seems to assert herself as an oddly normal civilian teenage girl.

 Pilot Tear seems to have the worst case of cockpit syndrome I have ever seen outside of the cockpit of her Eva she seems to be almost in a state of perpetual fear, but while in her Eva she seems to be the total opposite, she is energetic, alert, and seemingly fearless. Both pilots according from what I've seen from our in my opinion wholly substandard training regiments even if they are meant to be baselines both the other pilots seem to be quite competent.

The main facility seems to still be under heavy construction but looks like a fine facility. This particular NERV branch appears to uphold NERV’s standards for high-quality personnel especially in their choice of security in my opinion choosing to enlist the assistance of the company Blackwatch was the best idea. Now the rest of the general personnel although they do appear to be quite knowledgeable in their areas of expertise I find them to be too soft handed and severely lacking in the fortitude needed to ensure that what needs to be done is done and that discipline is always maintained. I discovered this when nearing one of my classes I decided to test the instructor by blatantly cheating on quiz.  And the instructor completely failed in his duty to instill discipline and respect. The confrontation was quiet, passive, and altogether non assertive. There was absolutely no corporal punishment.

As a sub note I find that there physical training facilities are quite adequate and that the chow here is both tasty and plentiful.

Tear's Journal Entry #1

((Author note, postings like these are written not by me, but rather by the Player playing the character in the campign, this was to help add the perspective of the person actually playing the role in the game, Of course in return I'm giving the PC's bonus XP for there posts))

Transferred to new facility today.  I was worried about all the new people I would have to meet, but I was excited at the prospect of being able to be with Rellik again.  I don't see why these people get to control her, shes mine!  Well anyway, I got to meet with the other pilots.  first there's Maryann, who I don't know anything about, is kinda a klutz and can't shoot straight.  I don't know why they even have her here, except that most of the known pilots are now dead.  Then there's Isaac, he obviously has some kind of military training.  He's also scary.  He hardly ever talks and eats prodigious amounts of food, but he kills good so I think we might be able to get along.  Then there's our handler Rachael, I don't like her, she acts like she's our friend but constantly refers to us as "pilots".  I told her she should use our names if she wanted to endear us to her, but she just got mad.  I don't think she appreciated my advice even though it was hard to speak up to someone who's in charge.

We also have to go to School.  I didn't know what to do, There were so many scary people everywhere.  I just sat in the corner and hid behind Beary and did whatever I was told.  Isaac tried to cheat of my test, I didn't mind, but the instructor caught him.  Isaac didn't care either.  I don't like the idea of doing this everyday.  All these strange people around all the time, I'm gonna stay by Isaac from now on, I feel kinda safe when I'm around him.

Episode 1: Initiation

((From this point forward, and post labeled "Episode" is a recap of a played out session with our PC's))

((From Rachael Barnet's Journal, Nerv RND Head))

So we finally got to let all the kids meet each other, it was an interesting sight, I probably would have preferred to of let the kids actually meet somewhere more... I guess welcoming rather than our own briefing chamber, but it couldn't b helped.

And since the OD is on Emergency assignment, I get to bunk with the kids as well, that was a less than stellar revelation. Don't get me wrong, there nice kids, but we have a manic depressive (Tear), a child who's probably been literally beaten into submission (Issac), and a a rather awkward girl who I suspect secretly stole all my pens (Maryann) who keeps tripling over goddamn everything in this penthouse suite that there being kept....

Also note to self... Stop calling them Pilots... God dammit Rachael there children not robots... Your sounding like Tyrone.

((From a correspondence email between of Thomas Rico, the assistant RND Head and another Nerv Mechanic))

Man oh man we got to finally put to bad boys you guys help create to use today, Activation test with the kiddies... and holy shit my heart was pounding the whole time... seeing those giants that I've been staring at for weeks actually wake up. move around, and actually go through tests was awe inspiring.

Man I joined NERV for this kind of shit, I am fucking out of my mind right now.

Okay so the fire report went well enough, The Pilots were using giant laser tag guns on some holograms, real tron shit, Chase and Tear, blew the shit out of them, I saw that chase kid put pretty much explode his hologram, and Tear shot off enough limbs where it wasn't getting back up...

Maryann? Well I had to go back and checking it's targeting systems... and nope it was working, the kid just completely missed the very volley of shots from her test riffle... and actually got chewed out by the boss for it... whatever they said.. well it got through to her because the second burst had a nice pattern....

As far as the Melee test, well they all aced that test, Chase beat the shit out of his target before shanking it like an old solder would, Tear... Well lets just say I regret that RND simulated the organs of there holograms from her vicious assault, and Maryann pretty much just shanked the shit out of it.

I got some footage to send you guys so you psychos can see this shit, it's fucking amazing!


((From Rachael Barnet's Journal, Nerv RND Head, this is from the same entry as above))

Anyways... after testing, I took the kids out to get a proper meal at a Chinese restaurant, and I learned a bit about them, Chase is probably going to be impossible to keep full, that kid started taking steam trays back to eat... and, well I guess as often as I see him working out, I can't blame the kid...

I was wondering about this bear that Tear was hiding behind... and she definitely hides behind it even deeper when she's going to say something incredibly rude, which she has a habit of doing....

Well at least there signed into classes.... I also learned a bit about them while they were at "Home" that evening... Tear has a quirk where she was rapidly changing the channels on the TV... like every few seconds.. I... well... Not sure there.

Maryann likes to fall over stuff, but is otherwise the most normal of the lot, and chase apparently decided to move the furniture around, I guess it wasn't "Tactical" or something....

(( From the Journal of Paul Phelps, The Civilian teacher of the pilots))

So I got three new kids today, which is a bit abnormal considering they were all coming from the same car when they got here, and all seemed to be the antisocial types according to what the principal told me, well hey I have to work with what they offer me and there parents really to pay allot to send there kids here.

So well, sadly for them they came in during a quiz day, which gave me a chance to assess there math skills, I'd say Tear and Maryann are rather advanced for there age math wise, but Chase is going to need some extra time to get caught up with the class, he did.. well he got at best a 60%... and that was while he was cheating on his test... that's right I could tell he was cheating and really made no effort to hide the fact... I don't try to yell or embarrass the kids but if he needs some after school help to get caught up I'm his guy.

However, I don't know what there kids are being fed at him, but there are top caliber athlehes, they were asked to run the mile that is to say, our hill out behind the school, one mile up, and one mile down, and the three of them were back before some of the slower kids even got to the end of the trail... Amazing!

((From here the pilots fell into there routine,  Chase spend his time studying to improve his skill in logic, and increase his strength with high impact weight training, Pilot tear studied Gymnastics to increase her Agility, and Maryann attempted to breakout of her shell by making friends at school, increasing her fellowship))

Maryann and the Blackwatch

((From the The personal Journal of Rachael Martel NERV RnD, 45 days after the Japan
Disaster))


I met our third and expected last pilot, the  5th Child, a manufactured pilot named Maryann by her creators at Bain Bioengineering. I had a bit more sit down time with the child as unlike the other two, this one I had the least information on. Sure Chase and I have talked a few times since our first introduction, and Tears is generally not the most talkative of the pilots making her difficult to approach. But I can talk to this one quite easily.

Maryann, as far as our pilots go is probably the most well adjusted from what I can tell, I'm not a psychologist after all. But she seems to be a mostly normal child on the outside. But I'm told much of this personality is artificial and not naturally developed, a process to artificially infuse the pilot with an ego means that she may be more... easy to mentally harm...

Maryann is not broken to obedience like Chase, and not bipolar like Tear, but there is one.. I guess somewhat disturbing quirk about the girl, one that seems to defy her appearance and personality.

I got the report from what she had in her bag. A strange and mixed bag of small collectible items.  Animal claws, weird keepsakes and the like. Could be a sign of Kleptomania.

I don't have a huge amount of information on the pilot's Evangelion, but the things the pilot can do with an AT field? Wow! That pilot is going to advance our understanding of AT fields by about 20 years by herself!

So about Blackwatch for a second, They creep me the fuck out, nothing seems to phase them, and there always in there god damn gas masks and armored suits while on duty, but one of them actually, in his gas mask, urban cameo, strike plates and holding an FN SCAR assault riffle actually had the gall to ask me out! Like it would ever go out with one of those Monsters, Yeah I know there rep, and they make me sick! For future reference I am never going to go out on a date with someone who's face I can't see!

Besides, I already have eyes on someone on base, and it's a secret as to who I'm talking about.
.

Chasing Tears

((From the The personal Journal of Rachael Martel NERV RnD, No recorded date))

 I just met two of our pilots today, Pilot  (Issac) Chase, and Pilot Tear.

Boy what are we getting ourselves into here.....

Let me start with chase, picture a tall muscular, dare I say handsome 25 year old man, now make him 15 and we have pilot Chase, the kid is built like a body builder. I honestly had a hard time with the idea that this kid was in fact, not lying about his age, or not on Growth Hormones.

Mentaly though... Well I'm not one to speak ill of our Neo-Spartan program, but I read his training notes and they paint an ugly picture, this kid is mentaly broken, someone his age should have more life behind those eyes, but his was faintly empty, almost... sad....

I haven't seen his Eva yet...  all the eva's will be here by no later than two weeks... but I'm told it's big like this kid, Kinda funny really. A real tank in humanoid form really.

***************

Pilot Tear on the other hand really is a product of Chinese, and American, Ingenuity, okay so most of her file was either classified beyond my level, or simply a list of Genetic information, but... Well the results are interesting. I guess I should mentioned that we manufactured this pilot.

It's kinda cute, really but the pilot seems to of latched on to our operations director, I'll write more about him later, but as a scientist, I have to question if this is genuine, or if it's some kind of genetic modification that makes the pilot latch on to authority figures in general.

Like the Pilot, the Eva is a prototype, made quite small, and mostly as a test bed for new experimental parts, it's a bit out of control if the Activation tests are any indication, it thrashes, and it's very very angry. Or could this be a repressed aspect of the pilot itself that makes the Eva rage so....


I'll write more once we get confirmation about our third and fourth pilots, I have yet to meet this Vatican oversight agent, and honestly I don't really care to, religion has not place in this situation, despite certain staff members obsession with the dead sea scrolls.

"We use the worst Temp Agencies"

((From the The personal Journal of Rachael Martel NERV RnD, No recorded date))

Did I ever mention how much I miss our security forces? Most of them were reallocated to Japan about 3 months before the disaster. The ones that were left were little more than over-glorified mall cops right down to the seqways and pepper-spray canisters.

Well considering were about to receive our first two pilots, we had to improve that right? Yeah the Marduk report came through in record time, even if they had a bloody fit when I failed that Sôryû girl based on a second psyche evaluation.

"But were almost done with her Eva, it'll be ready before any other pilots. Also unlike the other pilots your considering her's won't be a rush job or a prototype"

Yeah, Well so god damn what? She BOMBED her second psych evaluation. I can't have an anti-social pilot with a god complex that could all too easily crumble in on itself, we already saw what happened when a pilot mentally lost there shit in the plug, and the cost was far too much for NERV to bear a second time. Yes I am in favor of candidates from the Nero-Spartan program, but what the Germans produced is "My-little-whack-job" and not a proper pilot.

Anyways, Security... We needed it, and Hunter brought some outsiders in, scary outsiders. The type of outsiders I could imagine aiming a flamethrower into Sci-Lab and torching the hell out of it scary. Yes Hunter brought in an infamous "Private Military Company" that calls itself the "Blackwatch". Ruthless, highly trained and disciplined jack-booted assholes.

It's brilliant, since were officially sponsored by the UN, and not given a budget to, let alone allowed to, raise our own armed force we had to improvise. I mean why do we need one? We are here to Kill angels right? 

But what are we going to do if we get attacked by the human element? What our first Eva fight meets with backlash? What if we have an ejected pilot in the field? We need a ground force willing to do evil in the name of good. Blackwatch fits the bill, and Blackwatch is our ground force now.

Yeah this is going to bite us in the ass hard.

Conventinal arms

((This this report from Col. Bryant West from NorthAM Army, was sent to NERV HQ 13 days after the Japan Disaster. He thinks this is going to a UN ovesight unit.))

As you have requested, I have taken stock of our Armored Munitions. I find it strange that you are not asking about our infantry forces, but I understand there must be a reason for this so I'll keep it brief. I included hyperlinks to some civilian pages so your less knowledgeable personal will know what were talking about. I wish you would let us in the know as to *why* I'm requesting additional armor for this base. but I understand this is a classified operation, just like all the construction I see across the water on the Island.

Prewar our base housed 3 companies of Stryker Armored Fighting Vehicles, one of those is in deployment right now but will be back in the next couple weeks, there good for armored personal purposes and we did mount extra strike plating on our vehicles.

Of course we are requesting 4 companies of 10 of M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, these have service us since the Gulf war, and I see no reason they couldn't service us for years more to come. They contain both the fire power and the range to decimate most other armor vehicles out there. We literally cannot and will not replace them

We also have 2 companies of 10 M21 4.5 inch multiple rocket launcher vehicles on site. Yes there relics, and yes we only started re-manufacturing them due to there retaliative inexpensive and the need to fire allot of munitions downwind in some of those African hellholes our boys keep getting dragged into.

And is we really need to, I doubt it honestly. we could request that we ship in a few units of M777 Howitzer in the off chance that we get assaulted from a land based enemy, not a bad idea but let me get back to you.

(( Note we are not going over VTOL craft in this article due to the fact that we are using the VTOLS from the Evangelion anime, and will not be part of this excerpt))

Now that we have gone over all of this, did you have any other questions for us?

Loss and Gains

((This is an excerpt from a long report from Rachael Martel of Nerv Seattle RND, To NERV Regional commander Orson Hunter, this is taking place roughly 7 days after the Japan Disaster))

Commander, it is of course my sad duty to report in this case, that members of research time that escorted our Operations Director to the Japan Disaster Site, have reported the loss of the Operations Director in Combat with Japanese looters about... 20 hours ago.

James of course left detailed plans for the deployment of various resources for the operation and maitnece of no more than 4 to 5 Evangelion units, I know the Vatican Treaty mandates that no single country is allowed to host more than 3 functional evangelions at at time, but we have plans in place to consider allowing a Vatican Observor to serve as an oversight, to ensure that we are in fact using our Evangelions for there intended purpose...

Below was what James had laid out on the map for deployment and resupply sites for an Evangelion defensive action.

So as you can see here, our resources only allowed for 3 launch points, with the 4th eva in this case, either having to wait for deployment or be deployed through the Embarkation point, at the center of the island. We are fortunate that much of this was already well under construction, which... I find questionable of course, why did we have partially constructed launch ports already?  why is two out of four hangers already prepped to store Evangelions? Were we expecting to host activate and combat ready Evangelions at our site from the beginning?

As requested I'll help the Vice Commander select out pliots from the Marduk Report for deployment here, Also I'll help Interview James's replacement... God willing this won't take long.

Life in Seattle-2

(This is an excerpt from a now outdated real estate flyer)

So you have decided to move into North America's newest boom town and you would like to know more about this place that your moving to? Well your in luck, we have all the information you need before you make the move to Seattle-2, in the still scenenic Pacific-Northest.

Seattle-2 is the first ever city to fully adeapt to the enviromental changes the second impact brought fourth, thanks to reconstructive efforts by the UN and other private companies, it's actually possible to walk anywhere in the city without getting your head wet.

Seattle-2, as you know, is almost allways raining, so Seattle-2 had to take dramatic steps to keep it's people, happy, heathly, and of course, dry, no mater where in the city you go, you can walk comfortble under covered walkways, or sealed  under road tunnels, or even over the road covered walkways, that's right, there's no waiting on traffic lights in Seattle-2.

Are you worried that Seattle-2 is unsafe? Rest assured, that crime here is almost non existant, thanks to the presence of UN and North American security forces! There's allways someone protecting your interests here.

Seattle-2 is also a great place to find work in such area's as, Constrution, Manufacturing, and telecomunications. Seattle-2 is a city that never stops growing, you'll never have to worry about putting food on your table in Seattle-2

So come check out our website, or even stop in for a tour today, Seattle-2 the Jewel of the Northwest is here.

A Primer On Our Political situation

From the desk of Tyrone Johnson, Vice-Commander, NERV Seattle

As we all know now, we are all going to suddenly become very important in the  big picture of our war with the Angels, at this time we do not know why we are going to be the front line of the war, and right now that's not important, what is important is that we, as representatives of NERV, and I want everyone to respect the various powers at play here, from the UN, to NorthAm, to our own holdings here on Federal Way Island.

So consider this an official refresher as to the "Borders" where our jurisdiction starts, and where there's ends.

I applogize to everyone for using a map that still has the old city names in place, but this was rather short notice, The area highlighted in Red, is in fact us, we run the southren part of Federal Way Island, as of 9 am local standard time the UN now controls the northren part of the Island, and of course the NorthAm goverment, still runs day to day operations in the Tacoma/Lakewood Blocks. Including Lewis/Mccord as the base of NorthAM operations.

Now, when it comes to Personal, I don't want to hear about any dispute with the locals in these two area's, we are now the face of Nerv, and until further notice, we are on serious damage control, NorthAm and the UN have already voiced concerns that we'll make the mistake that Japan did, and cause the Pacific Northwest to be similarly vaporized, I want strict professionalism from everyone in this regard. 

Now as we all know, we need to get our base of operations fortified, were doing some major transfers so constrution is going to be a major issue for everyone on our half of the island, the UN may be okay with converting apartments to barraks, and sandbagging the airport and calling it a base, but we are more than aware the threat the Angels bring, and we have an estimated 3 months to perform, what took Japan 10 years to pull off. and we don't have a Geofront to back us up.

So yes, there will be massive construction being performed through out our area over the next few months, we'll try to post information of area's that will be reconstructed, but do not be surprised if you end up in temp housing, or have to take permanent detours to your assignments, were all going to go through growing pains and your help is needed to make this whole operation run smoothly.

I trust we will have your cooperation in this regard.

The Center of the Universe

From the desk of Rachael Martel, head of NERV RnD, Seattle-2 branch.

It's been just about 70 hours since Nerv Japan went dark, with there Magi Computer's going silent, and now we know why,  I'm told UN satellite and Aerial Recon confirmed what we all feared.

Japan is just gone. Except for the a couple smaller islands, it seems that  our last best hope to stop the Angels, has failed.

The Evangelions, have failed.

Okay so that was a little dramatic, we now know, that the head of Nerv Japan, sent out the only fully functional Evangelion into battle, quite literally  after throwing an untrained pilot into the cockpit, and sending him up.  Oh I don't mean a trainee, that would of been giving the child to much credit, I mean a literal child off the street, in lieu of a "real" pilot, into our greatest weapon...

The kid couldn't even keep the Evangelion upright, he went into a panic when the Angel grabbed him, cried out as the Angel pierced the Cranial Plate of the Evangelion, and was silent, as the Angel tore the Eva apart,

Lets be clear here, this is not because the Evangelion was not enough for the job, but because the pilot had no idea what he was doing. A weapon, and yes these are weapons, are only as usefull as the person wielding it. and this civilian was not a warrior by an means.

We all need to understand this, as why we have the Ned-Spartian Program, while we have the projects for clone pilots from "Red star international" and "Bain Bioengineering" to build us the pilots we needed.  Japan proved that an Eva can be destroyed, we allready knew this, what it failed to prove, is that victory is imposible.

This Notice is being sent out to all of Seattle-2 RnD for one reason, and one reason alone, WE are the Angels new target, The Marduk council predicts that the Angel was not destroyed with Japan, and that it will come here next, it's likely that all further Angel attacks will focus on us, so we *must* bring this base up to speed, we are working closely with the UN, and the North American government to deploy standard military vehicles, the northern commercial airport is already going to be re-purposed for NERV purposes for delivering much needed supplies.

More importantly, Nerv is pushing completion through on 4 Evangelions units, numbered  03 through 07 for deployment here, I want everyone in this department to know these Units better than the pliots, as we are going to be in charge of arming and refitting.

As soon as our Operations director returns from his mission in what used to be Japan, will we get a more in depth briefing. Untill then, stay busy, and perform your duties to the best of your abilities.

OOC: What this is about.

What you stumbled on or was directly linked to, is a blog, about a fictional situation which more or less amounts to Evangelion Fanfiction.

But at the same time, not really, this is not a fanfic of the actual Evangelion series, but is meant to, in effect Chronicle an Adeptus Evangelion Campaign, as well as establish a backstory for the setting of said campaign.

Early posts will set up the situation of the campaign, how the Player characters came to this point, how it dramatically branch off from Evangelion canon, and bring both PC's and the people at #AdeptisEvangelion on Rizon, the IRC chatroom for the game.

If your even remotly interested in the story, then I fully encourge you to check up on the above links to learn about the game, and join the chatroom if the game interests you, either as a fan of RPG's or Evangelion itself.

This blog, unless the title of the post has "OOC" in front of it, is in character from one of the many NPC's that will flesh out the campaign setting.

That being said, the story starts now, as the Command of Nerv Seattle has to deal with a realization, the 4th angel won, Nerv Japan, actually most of Japan itself, was destroyed, and now they are predicted to be the new focus of Angel Incursions on earth.
