Male Operator: Operation confirmed. Abbreviate 450 to 670. Makoto(Glasses): Command center has consented. Ritsuko: You're quick. Then again, you are Maya. Maya: Of course. You were the one who directly taught me. Ritsuko: Oh, wait. A8 would be faster there. Let me see. Maya: After all, she taught me. * Misato coming up in an elevator Misato: How's it going? Is MAGI's check-up finished? Ritsuko: Almost done. As promised, I completed it by today's test. Misato: You're great, Ritsuko. You have three of those same hard-to-take- care-of things, and still make it on time. Ritsuko: That one is cold. Misato: Ugha! ------------------------------- * Control Center. MAGI on the screen. Male Operator: All three MAGI systems are now in self-diagnostics mode. Maya: 127th periodic check-up, all clear. Ritsuko: Understood. Well done, and take a break until the test. ------------------------------ * Ladies' Room. Ritsuko washing her face. Ritsuko: All clear... Today, as ever, my mother is just fine, but... am I only aging? ------------------------------ Angel's I n v a s i o n ------------------------------ * An elevator ascends the huge vertical hole Asuka: What? Strip again? Ritsuko: From here on in lies the ultra-clean room. Just showering and changing your undies are not enough. Asuka: Why do I gotta go thorough all these things just for the auto-piloting test? Ritsuko: Not only does time progress, but the technology of EVA as well. We always need new data. Asuka: What? ------------------ * Door Opens. All three pilots are naked. Asuka: There, I'm just as you wanted--washed and cleansed seventeen times. Ritsuko: Now, all three of you, staying as you are now, go through this room and board the entry plug. Asuka: WHAT?! Ritsuko: Don't worry--the video monitors are turned off. Your privacy is protected. Asuka: That ain't the point. It's about how I feel. Ritsuko: The point of this test is to read the harmonics directly from the body, without the assistance of the plug suit. Misato: Asuka, this is an order. Asuka: Fine! Just do NOT watch, okay? --------------------------------------- Male Operator: All pilots prepared for entry. Ritsuko: Begin the test. * EVA's simulation bodies are floating in the water. Male Operator: Start testing. Start memorizing auto-piloting. Male Operator: Inserting simulation plug. Female Operator: Connecting systems with simulation bodies. Female Operator: Simulation plug is now under control of MAGI. Misato: It's so fast. MAGI... Oh, great MAGI. I simply can't believe it took a week for the first test. Male Operator: According to the schedule, this test should end in three hours. Ritsuko: How are you feeling? Rei: Something is different. Shinji: Yes. Something is different from the other times. Asuka: Something's wrong with my senses. Only the right arm is clear, and the rest is dim. Ritsuko: Rei, imagine movement in the right arm. Rei: Yes. Male Operator: Data collection going well. Ritsuko: There does not appear to be any problems. Return MAGI to normal. Misato: Dilemma... Ritsuko: The personality of their creator can be guessed. Misato: What are you talking about? Didn't you make them? Ritsuko: You do not know anything, do you? Misato: That's because, unlike me, you're not exactly talkative about yourself. Ritsuko: Well, I just did the system-up. My mother designed the basic theory as well as the body. --------------------------------------- Fuyutsuki: Have you double checked this? Shigeru: Yes, sir. They're the parts which were brought in three days ago. Long Hair: They must be the parts where changes were found. Fuyutsuki: The 87th protein wall... Long Hair: When enlarged, some spots can be seen. What are they? Glasses: Must be corrosion. There are small changes in the temperature and conductivity. Deterioration of a sterilized room often happens, and more often as of late. Long Hair: The construction schedule was shortened by 60 days or so, so the air bubbles must have gotten in then. There are a lot of holes in the quality of the construction work in B Wing. Fuyutsuki: That part was done after the Angels appeared, right? Glasses: We can't really blame them. Everyone is tired. Fuyutsuki: Take care of it by tomorrow. Ikari will be exasperated by it otherwise. ------------------------------------------------ Ritsuko: Is the water leaking again? Maya: No, sir. It's the corrosion in the walls above here. Ritsuko: Great. Will it pose any trouble on the test? Maya: So far, no, it will not. Ritsuko: Then continue. This test cannot be easily aborted. Commander Ikari will be annoyed with us, as well. Maya: Understood. Synchronized position is normal. Male Operator: Connecting the entry plug to EVA units through the simulation bodies. Male Operator: Contact confirmed. Female Operator: AT-Fields are generated on 3 Jogt. ------------------------------------------ * The spots on the wall start growing. Emergency sirens go off. Ritsuko: What happened? Female Operator: Contamination alert in the Sigma Unit, A Floor. Male Operator: 87th wall is deteriorating, releasing heat. Male Operator: Abnormality found in the 6th pipe, also. Maya: Corrosion of the protein wall is spreading. The speed is explosive. Ritsuko: Abort the test. Shut down the 6th pipe. Maya: Understood. Male Operator: 60, 38, 39, all were shut down. Male Operator: Corrosion found on 6-42. Maya: No effect. The corrosion is spreading along the walls. Ritsuko: Prepare polysomes... Ritsuko: Laser at the maximum. Fire at the invasion. Maya: The corrosion has reached 6-58. It's coming! * (Angel's voice) Rei: No! Ritsuko: Rei! Maya: Rei's simulation body is moving! Ritsuko: Impossible. Maya: Corrosion still spreading. It's invading the active water system of the simulation bodies. Misato: How's Rei? Maya: She's all right. Ritsuko: Eject all plugs now. Hurry the laser. Misato: AT-Field! Ritsuko: No way. Misato: What's... this? Ritsuko: Analysis of pattern: blue. It's an Angel, no question. Fuyutsuki: An Angel? You let an Angel get inside? Ritsuko: Sorry, sir. Fuyutsuki: No excuse needed. Close the Central Dogma. Separate it from Sigma Unit. Male Operator: Central Dogma, closed down physically. Separating it from Sigma Unit. Misato: Abandon this Box. Evacuate. * Operators running. Misato: What are you doing? Hurry! * Misato pulls Ritsuko along with her. Female Operator: Separating Sigma Unit from B Floor. All partitions closing. Everyone within the area is to evacuate. Gendou: I know. Please take care of it. * Gendou hangs up the phone Gendou: Stop the alert. Long Hair: S-- stopping the alert, sir. Gendou: It was a mistake. An error in the detector. Tell the Japanese government and the Committee so. Long Hair: Y-- yes, sir. Glasses: The contaminated area is still descending. Fuyutsuki: It is on the critical place. Gendou: Yes. It is too close to ADAM. Gendou: Contain the corrosion around the Sigma unit. You may sacrifice the Geo-Front. Status of EVA? Glasses: Waiting at the 7th cage. They can go as soon as the pilots are retrieved. Gendou: No need to wait for the pilots. Just launch them to the surface as soon as the preparations are complete. Long Hair & Glasses: What?! Gendou: Unit-01 has priority. You may abandon the rest. Glasses: Unit-01, sir? Long Hair: But sir, without EVA we cannot physically destroy the Angel. Gendou: If EVA gets contaminated, we are completely finished. Hurry! Long Hair & Glasses: Y-- yes, sir. Female Operator: Central Dogma under Sigma Unit will be completely sealed off in 60 seconds. 30 seconds until the activation of the vacuum pump. ----------------------------------------------- Ryouji: So, that is the Angel. Can't do the work anymore. Ha. ---------------------------------------------- Female Operator: Central Dogma totally sealed. Mega-depth facilities are now wholly occupied by the invader. Fuyutsuki: Now, how will we mount an offensive against the Angels without EVA? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEON GENESIS EVANGELION EPISODE:13 LILLIPUTIAN HITCHER --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ritsuko: Look. Here is the boundary of the heavy water, where more oxygen exists. Maya: Its preference is pretty clear. Long Hair: The place where ozone is vented in to maintain the sterilized conditions is not contaminated. Misato: So, does that mean its weakness is oxygen? Ritsuko: It seems so. Glasses: Injecting ozone. Concentration increasing. Long Hair: It's working, all right. Fuyutsuki: Can we make it? Maya: 0A and 0B seem to be recovering. Long Hair: The area near the pipe is back to the normal. Glasses: As expected, the central parts are more difficult. Fuyutsuki: Okay, increase the ozone. Ritsuko: Something is wrong. Long Hair: What? It's increasing. Glasses: Something is wrong. Heat release is increasing. Long Hair: Contaminated area is again increasing. Maya: All effects of the ozone have been lost. Glasses: Now it's absorbing the ozone. Ritsuko: Stop the ozone flow. Ritsuko: Incredible. It is evolving. Misato: What's wrong? Long Hair: The Sub-computer is being hacked. Hacker is unidentified. Glasses: Not now. Dealing with C mode. Long Hair: Unfreezing the barrier. Decoy entry opened. Male Operator: Decoy entry avoided. Male Operator: 18 seconds 'til trace completed. Male Operator: Opening the barrier. Male Operator: Barrier broken. Male Operator: Accessing another decoy entry. Glasses: A human being could not do this. Male Operator: Trace successful. Hacker is within this facility. Long Hair: Under the B-Wing. It's Pribnow Box! Maya: The optical pattern is changing. Long Hair: The growing lines are the electrical circuits. It's a computer itself... Glasses: Opening decoy entry... Unsuccessful. There was interference. Misato: Sever the Main Cable. Male Operator: Negative. It refuses to accept the order. Misato: Fire the laser. Maya: AT-Field generated. No effect. Long Hair: It's accessing to the Security Mainbank. It's cracking the password. 12th digit, 16th digit. D word cleared. Fuyutsuki: God! Glasses: It's reading the Mainbank. Impossible to clear. Fuyutsuki: What does it want? Long Hair: It's searching the Mainbank. This code is... No! It wants to invade MAGI! Gendou: Shut down the I/O system. Long Hair: Count down, please. Glasses: 3, 2, 1... Glasses and Long Hair: Argh! Glasses: It can't be turned off! Maya: Angel is invading further. Contacting Melchior. It's about to take control... Melchior has been reprogrammed by the Angel. Voice: Self-destruction suggested by AI Melchior. Rejection, rejection, rejection. Long Hair: Now Melchior is hacking Balthazar. Glasses: Damn! It's so fast! Long Hair: What calculation speed! Ritsuko: (taking a breath) Change the login mode. Tune synchro-code to every fifteen minutes. Glasses and Long Hair: Roger. Fuyutsuki: How long do we have? Long Hair: Judging from observations, about 2 hours. Gendou: MAGI... against us. --------------------------------------- * Command Center. No one is there. The visual of Angel is on Ritsuko: They are nano-machines, Angels the size of virii. Each of them gather to form a colony, and in a short time, they exponentially evolve, sufficient to form an intelligence circuit. Fuyutsuki: Evolution... Ritsuko: Yes, sir. They constantly evolve themselves, seeking the best way to cope with situations. Fuyutsuki: It is the system for survival of the life form itself. Misato: The only effective means of fighting a subject which constantly evolves and overcoming its weakness is take it with us. The only option is to order MAGI to commit suicide and have it die with MAGI. I suggest the physical elimination of MAGI. Ritsuko: Impossible. Aborting MAGI means abandoning Headquarters. Misato: Then, for the strategy section, I formally request it. Ritsuko: I reject it. This is a matter for the engineering section. Misato: Why are you acting like a mule?! Ritsuko: This situation started because of my mistake. Misato: You've always been like that, keeping everything to yourself and never depending on the others. Ritsuko: As long as the Angels keep evolving, we still have a chance. Gendou: Promotion of the evolution? Ritsuko: Yes, sir. Gendou: The end of the evolution is self-destruction. It is death itself. Fuyutsuki: Then, what we should do is promote evolution. Ritsuko: If the Angels consider it their only effective means of the survival, they may choose the co-existence with MAGI. Glasses: But how? Ritsuko: If the target is the computer itself, we can reverse hack by directly connecting Casper and the Angels and, by doing so, a self-destruct promotion code can be uploaded. However... Maya: At the same time, we are opening the barrier to the Angels. Gendou: "Is Casper or the ANGELS faster?", right? Misato: You can make the program it on time, right? If Casper is taken over completely, we're done for. Ritsuko: I keep my promises. * MAGI on the screen Female Operator: Red Alert, Red Alert. There is an emergency within NERV HQ. All emergency workers are to be evacuated. Maya: (looking inside Casper) W-- What are those? Ritsuko: Notes by the system developer. Maya: Cripes! Those are the secret codes of MAGI! Misato: It's just like the map to MAGI's back door. Maya: Owwww, am I allowed to see such a things? Can't believe it! This is c of int! With these, we can program much faster than was expected. Ritsuko: Thanks, Mother. We can make it for certain. Ritsuko: Get me that wrench. Misato: Reminds me of when we were in college. Ritsuko: Board number 25. Misato: Mmmmm... Will you tell me about MAGI? Just a little? Ritsuko: It's a long story. But not much fan. Do you know of the personality transfer OS? Misato: Yes. It is a system to transfer a person's personality, making a 7th generation organic computer able to think by itself. It's used to operate EVA, too. Ritsuko: I heard the MAGI were the first one to use it. My mother developed it. Misato: Your mother's personality was transferred to MAGI? Ritusko: Yes. Ritsuko: In other word, these brains are my mother's. Misato: Is that why you wanted to protect MAGI? Ritsuko: I do not think so. I never liked my mother much. It was a decision as a scientist. Glasses: Balthazar has now been taken over. Voice: Self-destruction is now voted for by the AIs. Self-destruction will be executed 20 seconds after all three have agreed to it. The ranges of self- destruction are Geoid depth -280, -140, and floor 0. Due to the activation of special rule 582, cancellation by two of the AIs is impossible. Misato: It has begun? Long Hair: Balthazar is further invading Casper. Fuyutsuki: They're pushing us. Glasses: What speed!! Voice: Self-destruction in 20 seconds. Fuyutsuki: Oh, no. Long Hair: Casper will be taken over in 18 seconds. Voice: Self-destruction in 15 seconds. Misato: Ritsuko! Hurry! Voice: Self-destruction in 10 seconds. Ritsuko: Don't worry. We're one second ahead. Voice: Self-destruction in 9 seconds. Misato: A SECOND? VOICE: 8-- Ritsuko: Not zero, not negative. Maya. Voice: 7, 6-- Maya: We can do it. Voice: 5, 4, 3-- Ritsuko: Hit it. Voice: 2, 1, 0. Voice: Self-destruction cancelled by AIs. Glasses: Haha! Long Hair: YES! Maya and Misato: (Smiling Sighs) Voice: Special rule 582 has been cleared. MAGI system return to normal. Ritsuko: Pfew! Voice: Red Alert cleared. Red Alert cleared. Everyone back to type one alert. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * In Entry plug, floating on a pond Shinji: What is going on? Asuka: Yeee! I can't get out of here without any clothing! Someone, help me FAST! Maya: Sigma Unit now released. -03 until the reopening the of MAGI system. Ritsuko: Am I already too old for an all-nighter? Misato: (handing a cup to Ritusko) Once again, you kept your promise. Good job. Ritsuko: Thank you. This is the first time I've thought that coffee you made is delicious. Misato: Hehehe. Ritusko: A night before her death, my mother told me the MAGI are three of herself--as a scientist, as a mother, and as a woman. The MAGI are those three fighting each other. She purposely left the dilemma of human beings within it. To be honest, each program is slightly different from the others. Since I do not seem to be a mother, I cannot understand my mother as a mother. But as a scientist, I respected her. And as a woman, I even hated her. Misato: You're talkative today. Ritsuko: In Casper, her pattern as a woman was input. She stayed a woman to the last. It was just like my mother.

Is Gendou's actions are just the executions of the Dead Sea Scroll? Next episode: "Seele, throne of soul." Gotta service you next time, too!
