Good day, Major.

I've been trying to reach Elizabeth to give her my condolences but she's surrounded by so many people. Phillip and David's sacrifice was hard for all of us it seems.

>>46924210
Good to see you're recovering alright. I'm not sure I can express my gratitude for what you've done enough. It took a lot of heart.

(OOC: How much of a timeskip was this)

>>46924210
It has been. Good to see you up and walking.

Do all CAGs have 9 lives?

Have you done another memorial wall to add the sweaty brit yet?

Who wouldn't have done this for such a good kid? We're there to protect them, I would have been a lousy CAG if she died there.

Speaking of Anna, were you able to see her? Ever since we came back from Vancouver the Science Division has her and they're not letting her see anyone. I hope she's okay.

>>46924303
The emergency landing wasn't that rough, it's the angel exploding who almost destroyed the VTOL. [He looks anxious] Rachel has been particularly in a bad mood lately, especially towards me. I guess she's mad that her aircraft took a beating.

>Do all CAGs have 9 lives?
[He laughs] I sure hope so.

Rachel...I think she's just as frustrated if not more so that she's not the one able to watch over the kids. You did good out there, above and beyond.

>>46924510
I don't think that's why she's in a bad mood at all, trust me. I'll be sure to check on Anna, so you just worry about getting better.

Go up to her. "Hey, how is everything?"

>>46924778
let's go talk to Florence

>>46924778
Her hometown was pretty much destroyed.
So she naturally she's distraught.

Do we have any idea on other KIAs?

Like was the science officer that was her caretaker in the blast? or just injured or what?

Oh god what about the pilot in the posessed EVA?

we should find out what she's all... twisted up about.

At least Carl's fine?

>>46924874
>Like was the science officer that was her caretaker in the blast? or just injured or what?
Tanged

>Oh god what about the pilot in the posessed EVA?
Vaporized

>At least Carl's fine?
Doubtful.

>>46924896
I think the pilot in the possessed EVA is actually ok.

>>46924918
I'd be really surprised but grateful if that were the case. She as close to ground zero of the suicide blast as you can get.

Oh, Hi...

I don't know how it's been holding up, Major. The loss of the Science Division director has impacted me more than what I expected.

I wouldn't say we were close, but she was always there, you know. Seeing her photo on the memorial is... It's hard to look at. [She looks away, you can see tears running down her cheeks.]

inb4 someone suggests headpatting.

>>46925063
No headpats, just sit with her and hold her shoulder like the pic.

"It's hard. I've lost a lot of people too. Every time you guys go out there, I'm worried you won't come back. Its alright to mourn for them. Once we stop crying for the dead, we stop caring about the living."

>>46925063
I know it's hard. But we've got to keep moving forward. Everyone needs time to grieve, but sometimes you feel like it's going to rip you apart from the inside out.

And you have to be able to face that, to deal with it, for everyone that couldn't make it this far.

I know you probably feel like you've lost everything, but, listen; you haven't. Montreal is still here. You still have us; the other pilots, me, even the staff, we all care about you.

>>46925063
I know I'm not the director, or very coherent at times, or subtle at all, but Im open if you ever want someone to talk to.

Profound idea of the day.

You know how the this is based on Evangelion, which is obsessed with sticking the souls of the dead in places they shouldn't be? You know how some of the characters is based on the Evangelion characters that was present during the arctic expedition, the epicenter of the greatest loss of human life? You know how one such characters' defining characteristics is that they have high functioning schizophrenia and having knowledge they shouldn't have access to? Just a thought.

Who will mourn me when I'll be the one with a photo on that memorial? All my friends are here, and they're constantly in danger.

>>46925178
I do feel like it's ripping me inside out. How can you cope with this? Being in an Evangelion Unit is so easy, I feel at home. This emotional stuff is a million time harder.

>>46925209
You're right... I care about all of you too.

Excuse me Major, I'm making a scene. [She dries her tears] I just need some time for myself, there's too many people here. It's making me uneasy.

It won't come to that, Florence. We were too late for Vancouver, but as long as I'm in command, no lives will be wasted protecting humanity's future. I'll be damned if I let everyone's sacrifices go to waste.

>>46925453

Florence, it's not a scene to cry at a memorial service.

It's always rough to deal with emotions. It's a lot easier to focus on a job at hand, believe me. But our emotions are what give us the drive to move forward and complete our tasks in the first place. It's kind of a chicken and egg situation.

People care about you, and I know your other pilots consider you their friend.

A pleasure to meet you, Major. [She shakes your hand] I'm in charge of the RCAF 38th Fighter Squadron. We will be stationed here after what happened to Vancouver.

The last order we got was to take make an emergency take-off. Unfortunately we were attacked by the city's own Static Weapon Systems. One of our planes crashed into the comm. tower so we were effectively blind.

Okay Major, how do we do this? With the two of us we can surely overpower him. Or I can talk to him if you want, use my ''womanly charms'' [She does air quotes as saying it, followed by a wink]

>>46928737
Ill talk to him, you stay back and provide back up incase shit goes south.

>>46928737
These are some weird ass looking containment cells. Let's talk with him first and see if can't convince him.

[Rachel]
Alright. I'll be right behind you.

[Section-2 guard]
...Major? Are you authorized to be here?

>>46929350
I thought everybody was at the ceremony or was given time off. I was asked by Elizabeth to grab something from her office but I forgot where it was.

>>46929350
Yes...yes i am.
I mean come now why wouldn't i be.

>>46929350
And where's the kid we rescued from Vancouver? Is he safely secured cause he was not stable last I saw.

>>46929350
Do I look like I'm authorized to be here?

>>46929350
If I wasn't I wouldn't be here, so I obviously am, and If I'm here then I can be allowed inside, yes?

>>46929350
Yeah. You think all those restricted access doors on the way here just unlocked themselves or what?

>>46929350
Do you think I'd even be here if I wasn't authorized? Doors and checkpoints aren't just for show.

>>46929491

"No. All those restricted access doors on the way here just unlocked themselves."
might be better phrasing

The provisional Science Director's office? You're 23 floors too low.

Unless the girl got irradiated or something and is now danger to be in the same room with, I'm seeing her in person.
And before you say that's what actually happened, know that I will come back anyway. In a hazmat.

>>46929630
How does she even eat if no one can pass? You sound really confused. For how many time were you here? I know we are short on manpower but you should really find a way to get some rest

[You head into the corridor, and reach Anna's containment chamber. She is alone behind a thick glass window, in an empty room with only some monitoring equipment stacked next to her.]

[Rachel]
What the... Hey Anna! [She bangs on the window, visibly shaken.]

>>46930359
Oh my god Anna, what are they doing?!

>>46930359
Is she suspended or just standing there?

>>46930359
That metal contamination must be worse than we thought. Calm Rachel down before she sets off an alarm. and keep an eye on the time we have.

>>46930359
Is there anything to read on those equipement or is this only science gibberish?

You guys are being very trusting of someone who might turn out to be a spy.

>>46930562
Shut up Angel #8.
Shit what if we have to fight an Angel that operates like the Thing? EVA's would be useless.

>>46930562
Who? Rachel? For all her merits I'd wager she's too... impulsive to reliably keep a secret identity.

>>46930632
Unless that's just an act.

>>46930692
Nah, I'm all for Team Paranoia, but this just doesn't make sense.
If Rachel turns out to be a spy it won't be a twist, it would be an asspull. And I'm sure our GM overlord is better than that.

Also is there an enemy still? Didn't they just die in the Vancouver events?

>>46930692
If we can't trust her, we basically can't trust anybody. We can't manage to do everything by ourself without allies.

Major? My, I have to say I'm surprised. I had strange reports of abnormal MAGI activity so I went down to investigate, only to find our Head of Tactical Operations and CAG snooping.

I fear I may have to report this... behaviour to the Commander.

and WHY THE FUCK WASN'T I TOLD

Why my pilot is still not operationnal?

Do you think keeping the Head of tactical operations out of the loop is the best way to preserve mankind future?

NO FUCK THIS ASSHOLE, HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FACE.
I mean god dammit why do they keep doing this. the kids are our responsibility if some science bullshit is happening to them we should be the first to know.

>>46931219
We do not need to be shouting. He who shouts first loses. We'll be basically trading cold barbs back and forth now.

Honestly, >>46931185 is right.

This guy is clearly an asshat.

>>46931061

Holy shit don't say that. People have already died in NERV for less than that.

>>46931230
Yeah yeah your right. Heres only one way to deal with smug assholes.
Being an even smugger asshole.

>>46931061
I'm sorry to say, but this child is still within her guardian's protection and neither her nor myself, her acting major were briefed about what was being conducted here.

Now, I don't think the commander would like to see a formal inquiry sent to the board of directors following this gross failure of protocol.

Let's just say, you give us some answers, or we add another notch the commander's workload later this week on top of you reporting us. You know how he gets when he's given extra paperwork?

OOC: Just got out of the worst meeting of my life. Please tell me this is salvageable.

If we are actually saying any of this I think we may be royally fucked.

Rachel's not gonna react well to this.

We're an alcoholic schizophrenic who operates on a dice-based logic system. I think its pretty in-character.

Actually forget the sarcasm, shouldnt we just head directly to the commander to seek details.

Call him on the bluff. Why is a good pilot, soldier and compliant child hooked up to the MAGI system.

Their well-being is my responsibility too, Major. Especially after one went through such an ordeal. She suffered a drastic mental contamination through direct Angel contact.

Be assured, Major, that she is treated with utmost care.

>>46931139
Now, now. Don't lose your nerve, I am not your enemy here. Until I am satisfied with her... recovery, she is to stay under my jurisdiction. Her caretaker was allowed to keep contact with her through telephone calls, even if it seems she wasn't satisfied with the arrangement.

>>46931260
My, what a wild imagination you have! Let me give you this one piece of advice: be a good Major and let us do our work. You clearly don't have the capacities to understand what we are doing here, and you just confirmed that it was I good initiative to keep you out of this.

>>46931201
>>46931327
Your pilot is in critical condition, Major. She will be returned to you once she is ''operational''. I find it peculiar that on my first week as the Director of the Science Division you come and antagonize me, even though I catch you red-handed, in my department.

I must tell you, I'm being very kind here; this information is classified.

Now, let these gentlemen escort you to where you belong. I'm sure you'll hear from the Commander in the near future.

Rest assured, I am will be leaving for now, but don't you dare keep me out of the loop again. These children as much of a responsibility to me as they are to Nerv.

You're the third director of the science division I see in less than a year. It seem there is some weird game of musical chairs going on at NERV and I'm pretty good at it.

I'm not sure acting all smug with me is the best idea you had. FUCK I HATE THIS GUY

>>46931809
FUCKING TWIN-HEADED SHIT EXTRACTOR.

>>46931809
I share those sentiments as well, but I don't think there is much we can do now without getting into worse problems. I don't want to see anything happen to her either, but they could revoke your guardian status of her or worse if we continue snooping around like this.

Rachel, I know we both take risks here, but I think the best course of action is to keep our heads low. Don't worry, I am going to get to the bottom of this with the commander, so don't you dare think this me giving up.

For now though, I think it's best if we stop sticking out so much. In the meantime, we can drop by medical to see what exactly happened to Anna before they locked her in there.

>I wish we could do more though...

>>46931809
Our time will come soon, don't you worry.
Speaking of the children though any word from the new boy, and i haven't seen the twins in a while. We really should get everyone together have a day out. All this drama and hardship a fun night out would due us all a lot of good.

Medical ward first. Doc is a nice guy, we could get some valuable info on Anna's status.

>>46932035
>>46932025
Just an fyi guys, if we're gonna take the Eileens home we'll probably need to the see the medical or psychiatric staff to get them discharged from the base.

I'll be blunt with it. We need to know the extent of Anna, I mean, the second child's condition at the time she was brought in and her current status.

The new Science Director seems like an ass.

Not exactly. I managed to sneak in to see her for a moment before me and Rachel got caught.

Rachel, we need to make sure that all the children are ok. We get Eileens safe, then go to command. They seem to be monitoring her now, so things are unlikely to change.

With the commander? Alright, I hope everything is okay.

>I sooo want to sleep in my bed. I hope you kept the apartment clean in m- our absence.

Major, we'll prepare our stuff so that we can move out as soon as you come back! I'm reaaally excited!

[Rachel]
Okay girls, it's been great seeing you but the Major and I have some pressing matter to attend to.

"We'll get ice cream later, its a promise." Hugs.

"Alright Rachel, lets go."

>>46933149
To Rachel as we leave, "A man who has to deal with so many girls has to be able to multitask. Told you it wouldn't take long."

>>46933180

Sophie a best. When do we deal with her again.

>>46933149
Don't worry, it won't take too long girls. We'll go out for some new stuff this weekend as well. And we're still getting some Tim Horton's after this.

[Commander]
...So you two infiltrated the lower levels of the Science Division facility, coerced a guard into leaving its post and searched for information you knew was classified.

Tell me why I shouldn't get you imprisoned. You have 2 minutes.

>>46933477
SHIT. should have left out the bit about the guard.

>>46933477
Hey the doors were open and none of the security checkpoints were manned. the only guard down there was one at Anna's containment cell. And we were wondering why Anna had not been released or why I nor the Head Medical chief were informed about her condition. You want me to be able to kill the Angels? I need to know where my Pilots are 24/7 and what their condition is.

>>46933477
There was an issue regarding one of the children that we were not informed of. Neither her guardian nor myself, her commander were told about what happened.

I needed to investigate, and I took necessary risks in order to ensure the safety of one of our assets.

>>46933477
We're both the most successful field operations handlers for one.

I for one lasted longer than anyone else in this single job.

An invaluable asset especially considering recent change ups.

>>46933477
There have been attacks within the Geofront before, and in such times an immediate response is needed, time that getting on the horn and asking you would not have given me. Sir.

>>46933477
"Sir. Because I was looking out for the welfare of my pilot, a pilot who saved the world only a few weeks ago. I understand that certain information is classified, and that I took drastic, perhaps illegal action to ensure the safety of my charge. I am committed to fighting the war sir, but it is difficult to proceed when I am not given all the information necessary to proceed. I apologize for my actions, but I must formally protest this lack of transparency, and ask for clearance to understand what is going on."

>>46933559
also, is the 8th child and the EVA he was piloting in our custody or was he released to family like i heard?
