Quote:utterly unable to stand the very sight of even much of what gets recommended on these forums, let alone the bulk of FFnet.

Quote:The eye lights up on Unit 05’s brow. The entire Evangelion shudders, the locks around its jaw breaking as it growls.

“AI Core Locks disengaged,” a voice booms through the shoulder mounted speakers, “Communism detected! Combat Systems, engaged!”

Quote:The cradle rocks and Unit-01 rockets upwards. Yui grimaces, standing next to Misato as the Big Screen shows them 05 continuing its march.

“Poor girl,” she says, “Rei must be terrified.”

The scream coming from the plug is loud, and continuous, and resembles the pitch and tone of a football fan during a particularly impressive play. Hands up, index and pinky finger prominently displayed, the landscape is a blur with plenty of shit blowing up.

“WOOOOO! I wanna marry this baby!!!!!!”

Flipping the switches lining the seat towards the butterfly controls, a holographic display appears, buttons labeled in English hanging in the virtual space in front of her. Clapping her hands and squealing, Rei hovers her hands over the controls.

She just found its weapons suite.

“Oooooo…what does this button do?”

Chap. 26. Wrote:A head taller than the other Evangelions, pylons jutting from the arms instead of the shoulders and ending in what appear to be turret mounts, it stands on four ball jointed legs ending in clawed feet. Its left arm ends in a four bladed claw and its right arm ends in a drill almost as long as the rest of the Evangelion.

The entire thing is painted green and white, highlighted in golden yellow, the end of its jutted, spike-shaped forehead ending in a glowing white eye and a honeycomb of viewscreens forming into something resembling a pair of angular sunglasses.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Yui says, “Evangelion Provisional Unit 05.”

Quote:Lilim is the final Angel. Combined with Lilith, you are like Father.

Behind his glasses, Gendo smirks and turns to Yui.

"I told you we'd be our final enemy. You owe me a Coke."

"Quiet, dear," Yui mutters, "Junior, how might the prior Nine react to these new Angels?"

None would ally with them. They are born of Rage.

"How's that different?" Ritsuko asks.

We were born of Father's first awakening. From fear, confusion, and pain. So we seek to reunite and become one with Father. Those that come now do not seek Complementation. They seek destruction. They are mad dogs. Mindless, dangerous, and to be destroyed.

So we have given them a name.

"Which is?" Gendo asks.

Cherubim.

So... what you guys think? I'm thinking Chainsaw. Could also be a really big axe, but chainsaw seems more likely.

You mean it won't be Evangelions in women's clothing hanging 'round in bars?

Quote:"Let's assume it doesn't break off its pattern of movement to attack
Tokyo-2, then," Kozou says, tracing the pattern. It repeats several
times, avoiding cities and towns, until finally hitting the center of a
particular area.
"Okayama?" Kozou asks, "Why would it target Okayama?"
Tapping
the hologram, Gendo pulls his hand back, zooming in. Displayed in front
of them now is a small house in the middle of nowhere in the
countryside, and a large X to show that Shalgiel's rampage would have
lead it there.
"Why would Cherubim target your brother in law?" Kozou asks.
"Not him," Gendo says, "Not exactly. And I think I know why."
