Not everything gets mentioned on the forum, BA... (For example, the FenWiki shows that station shuttles Lanster, Lushe, Mondial, and Nakajima, and captain's gig Yagami have been assigned to Odyssey for quite a while now, but they've never been mentioned here before this or in-story anywhere.)

Zuikaku is a Bolitho, and is nothing more than Kotono's runaround space-minivan. (Assuming they do eventually get produced en-mass.... or get sold off cheap at a later date). The Dragon Wagon is a standard production Outlaw.... parked over a hundred meters above Shinji's head and quite far away.
I just worded it cack-handedly.

Quote:Jet scanned the photographs hung on the wood-panneled wall. There were conspicuous gaps in the rows where pictures had been taken down quickly, then hidden away in a cardboard box labelled ‘junk’, which was soon to be stuffed in the attic.
“I’m just making sure I got all the pictures with Gina in them. That’s an awkward meeting we don’t want,” she said. And how.
“Don’t forget the figures,” Ford answered her from the living room. “And I still can’t find that DvD,”
Asuka ones. Shinji ones. Eva ones. Rei ones. Misato ones. All had to go.
“Mackie lost it,” Jet said.
“Which means Shinji’ll find it for certain. You know how these things go,”
Million to one chances and all that.
“It’s on the Wagon somewhere,”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive,” Because Mackie admitted to losing it there. “And since the Wagon’s sealed off until the radioactive bits cool off, nobody’s going to find it,” A beat. “And Anika’s sticking a filter on interwave to keep anything Evangelion off our network,”
“What about me?” Mackie’s voice cut in. Jet spun on her heel to see her brother standing in the doorframe in his boxers, eating from a mini-carton of cereal.
“Evangelion disk four?”
“It’s in my cabin on the Wagon somewhere,” he answered with a lazy shrug. Coco-pops crunched in his mouth as he spoke. “No big deal,”
Jet emitted a low growl from her throat. It didn’t faze him in the slightest. Another handful...crunch...crunch....crunch.
“You still want me to bring him along on that escort run in the Havoc, right sis?”
Crunch...crunch. “Sure.” No... she wasn’t anymore. “Just like you told. Take him out, show him we’re in space,”
A grin curled across the boy-android’s lips. “Maybe show him some doujins...” he added.
Jet’s expression went cold. eyes the colour of ice freezing him in place.
“Mackie. If you fuck this thing with Shinji up on me, so help me I’ll tell all of Fenspace exactly what you did, sell your body and send your core away to someone who’ll know exactly what to do with it.”
“Sure, sure,” he wasn’t even close to being fazed. Threats only worked when the person being threatened believed them. “I’ll take him for a spin in a Havoc, and explain to him that I’m actually an AI, then prove it. Right?”
His Sister nodded. “And try to be his friend aswell,” she added with a softer smile.
He grinned wryly. “So, I do show him my doujins then?.....
The cyber just stood there, staring stonefaced at him not even bothering to answer. Mackie scarpered off upstairs, feet hammering on the wooden steps. Jet exhaled a long sigh, her body relaxing. “This is a bad idea,”
It was either him. Or Anika.
The last photograph dropped into the box. Jet taped it shut, satisfied she got them all. She scanned around the room one last time. All the gaps really were plainly obvious. Anyone could tell something’d been removed.
“One more?”
She turned around to see Ford standing in the doorway, bracing herself with that metal arm of hers... another picture frame in her free hand.
“Forgot about that one. I taped the box up already,”
“Damn. I’ll get a knife,”
Jet held up her hand. “Nah, don’t bother. Just hide it” Where, according to the rule of drama, Shinji would probably find it. Jet blew that thought away. “It’s all going in the same room with my puppet anyway,”
Ford gave her a dubious look. “You sure you want to do things this way?”
Jet smiled at her. “It’s about the only thing I am sure of.” She rapped on her metal breast with metal knuckles. “What better way to intruduce him to biomods and non-humans that an undeniable flying combat cyborg?”
“I still think you’ll just scare the poor thing.” Ford responded, flatly.
“I probably will,” Jet admitted. There was determination in her eyes. “But he needs to see me for what I am. Mackie and Anika are too human looking,”
Ford sighed. “Well, you’re his mom,” A wry grin crawled across her face, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “So I suppose understand if you want to avoid the whole oedipal thing Eva’s got going on. Mackie’s enough...”
“Now that’s just creepy,”

"No. No, no, no. I am -not- going to henge into Gendo and pretend to be the poor kid's father. Just NO, Amy."
"Oh, c'mon, Chris, it'd be hilarious."
"Hilarious is the last thing he needs right now, love. If you want me to do it here in the office while you dress up as Misato, that's one thing, but I am not going to traumatize that kid. And despite the common convention about AI ages, he is just a kid. We should be treating him as one, and care for him like responsible adults."
"You. Chris Marsden. A responsible adult."
"Yes, I know, it's not my usual ouvre. Still. I can at least pretend. And maybe break it to him lightly."
"I will go," said the blue-haired albino who hadn't been in the locked office a moment ago. "Shinji-kun is..." She paused for a moment, and Chris and Amy fell silent. "He is important to me. And he will need a... touchstone?"
Chris nodded, and settled back in his seat. "Yes, that's the right word, Rei. I think. He's going to feel disconnected enough when they tell him he's not in 'his' own universe, much less that he isn't even him. Except that he is. Memories are what make us the people we are, right? And all the memories he has are of being Ikari Shinji. So we treat him like that. We respect his identity as Ikari Shinji, no matter what body he may happen to be in."
Amy voiced a little sigh, but nodded. "Alright, Chris, alright. Let's just be glad nobody's gone and 'waved up an Eva unit yet... that'd screw the poor guy up even more."
"Yes, it would. Speaking of which, I'd better get an email out to that effect before one of Noah's girls decides to try anything... ever since those so-called Weasleys turned up in the Hogwarts cluster they've been a little off."

Catgirls added to my story plan. They're on an inbound transport.
Thanks. I've got space for it.
Maybe it might be a good idea to host some sort of small get together. A welcome to the universe party.... when he's feeling up to it. Although, the arse end of space is really not the best place for it.
Quote:Frigga was huge.
Shinji was beginning to realise that It easily eclipsed the Geofront in scale, judging by journey times. He was riding pillion behind Kotono, hanging on to a petrol-engined streetbike - a small single cylinder Yamaha 650 - thumping and barking through empty tunnel after empty tunnel, before finally reaching an elevator large enough to park a bus.
It seemed abandoned. This whole construction seemed utterly abandoned, close to derelict. It was Rei’s apartment on a grand scale. Or the old tunnels deep under the Geofront. The railing on the lift car had once been painted yellow.... but the paint had been chipped off in parts long enough for the steel underneath to tarnish brown.
A gaunt, lonely place with only the woman in front of him for company. Numbers spraypainted on the rock walls of the shaft told him how long he had to climb before reaching the surface.
“How many people live here?” he asked.
“Nine,” Kotono’s voice crackled in his ear above the wind-roar.
A comm-link in a motorcycle helmet. He felt like a fighter pilot with it on.
“Nine!” he blurted.
“Yup,” she confirmed. “Though three are students. Six of us live here permanently.”
“That must get lonely,” Shinji said, quietly.
“It does sometimes,” she admitted, not sounded at all bothered. “But we have customers coming in for Survival Shot, and some of them stay for a bit,”
The implication was clear.
“So how did all this get here?”
Out in an asteroid belt. Without anyone ever hearing about it. And it’d been there for what seemed like decades.
He felt the woman in front of him take a deep breath.
“Okay, the short history of 77 Frigga.” she began. “This place began as a mine over a decade ago, run by the New Birmingham company. It was one of the first of it’s kind, and it got really big, really quick. The mining town that grew up here eventually had over five hundred residents. Our apartment was once a family sized one."
“How come I never heard of it?”
Something that big in space should’ve been Big News. A settlement that big would’ve been a major story. A symbol of the rebuild. Hope for the future.
Something that would be swamped by people begging to be involved.
“You wouldn’t have,” Kotono assured him. “It went bankrupt about six years ago and was left abandoned for another three, before we moved in. There’s a martial arts school, and the Survival Shot combat simulation centre now.... using these old tunnels. People stay overnight in the old apartments if they want.”
“So. How did I get here?”
“You woke up here,” Kotono answered.
And that was all the answer he was going to get. She was hiding something from him. She smiled. She was nice. She was intentionally keeping things ambiguous.
The thought of calling her on it terrified him to the core.
------
Kotono: “It’s a lot like democracy. Okay, so you’ve no idea who you want to vote for.... but I bet you know who you don’t want to vote for. So vote against that guy. With life.... so long as you know what you don’t want to do, try something other than that. If you like it, you win... if you don’t you’ve just found something else you know you don’t want to do, and you’re one-step closer to your goal.”
“It works for a lot of things in life. Food, restaraunts, jobs, love....”

Sigh. Frigg'n puns. Giggle. I'm glad people are liking it.
It hasn't happened yet (There's one scene)... but it's Jets plan based on what I've been hearing.
Quote:To: “Shinjislist’
Subj: Today’s developments
Since everyone's shown genuine concern for Shinji, I think it's only fair to keep yous all up to date with how he's doing.
Kotono told me that he fixed her breakfast this morning. Apparently, he’s a pretty decent cook. Thus far he seems to be handling things. Kotono introduced him to Frigga and gave him the tour. She was surprised that he recognised our Outlaw Class for what it was... even missing an engine. Kotono suspects that he doesn’t quite believe what’s happening to him. He knows something’s up, that’s obvious, but he’s still going through the motions. He’s glad to be somewhere where people are living, that’s for sure... but he’s wondering where everyone else is. He’s obviously waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I met him earlier today. Shinji was a little bit startled by me and what I was, though he understood the concept of biomodding. I invited him to visit my morning class and spectate; he specifically refused to go. That’s the first time he’s actually shown any resistance to anything.
He’s spending time with Mackie right now. There’s a delivery from Jenga on a run in and Mackie took him out in one of the Havocs to escort it in for the last leg of it’s journey. I don’t want to jinx it by saying there won’t be an attack... not after the last incident.... but it’s unlikely and Mackie can handle it. We’ve taken precautions.
After that, Anika’s pulled down the whole 13-episode run of Bubblegum Crisis.... including catalogue episodes with the real ending. She’s going to sit and watch some animé with him, and introduce him to the concept of AI’s based on fictional characters. We’ve also got an old copy of the Race to 400 documentary if he gets bored with that, along with some AMG and a little Sailor Moon.
Then it’s time for bed. We don’t know whether he needs to sleep or not. But he can. And, Kotono tells me, he does have nightmares. Tomorrow rolls around and we see who he wants to spend time with, or what he wants to do. If anything. I know I’m interesting in sampling Shinji’s cooking.
The plan is to introduce him to the idea of humans in space, then have him meet me to introduce the idea of biomods and handwavium, then Mackie and Anika to introduce the concept of artificial intelligence, then finally a little Bubblegum Crisis to introduce the concept of doppel-AI based on fictional characters.
After that, we let him do his own thinking and see what he comes up with. By the time he’s actually told, he’ll at least have his own theory. If he comes to the conclusion himself, it won’t be as shattering. Hopefully, by then he’ll have bonded to at least one of us so he can be pulled through it. He can use us as an emotional crutch.
That’s the scenario I’m hoping for.
Whether reality matches the plan is something only time will tell.

Subj: Shinji Ikari.
I assume you've seen the other message. Covering all our bases, we’ve prepared an apartment for Yayoi just in case. It’s not luxurious but it should be comfortable enough for a couple of days. If Yayoi would like anything specific prepared, she should drop one of us a message. I’d prefer not to send him away to her.... that’d be worse for him.
Anika’s agreed to help aswell, once he knows. She’ll be able to provide guidance... especially since they’re both the same design inside. She’s planning to tell him the truth about herself, tonight. That’s pretty tough for her with someone she’s just met. They'll be spending time together later on this evening. Hopefully Shinji will begin to trust her.

If you guys need another AI to stop by once you've started 'breaking him in' (BAD WORD CHOICE NENE!) I can stop by. Jeph's given me clearance to use Starbug 1, so I wouldn't be tied to the delivery schedules.

No plan survives contact with the enemy. Certainly, even if Sylia hadn't told me that a lifetime ago, I found it out firsthand more than once. It doesn't sound like you have too many potential points of failure, though.

From: Yayoi (mamabear@stellvia.fen)
Hello, Jet. Noah tells me you're getting a room ready for me if Shinji needs somebody to talk with about being an AI based on a fictional character. Thank you.
My personal and business needs aren't very demanding - I'll bring my own clothes and toothbrush, and I can use your Halcyon node to stay in touch with the office.
But there is one big thing I might need. Do you have a piano on Frigga? I so rarely get time to play any more, but Leda thinks it might be a good idea for Shinji to lose himself in music as stress relief. (Of course, Leda's a geneticist, not a psychologist, and I don't think anybody's asked Kat over on Grover's Corners about any of this yet.) I've found a few piano/cello duets that we can practice together if I do come over for a while, if Shinji wants to play with me.
It takes a few days for a piano to settle in after it's been moved, if we need to send a team from Steinway to your base, we should do that now. I think Frigga is big enough and empty enough that they can set up a piano without Shinji noticing.
For that matter, do you have a cello? If not, Stellvia Corporation can loan you a Scarampella - Noah thinks Shinji might enjoy playing a really good cello, and the Filker that we were going to lend it to is already using the Montagnana that Space Station Three owns.
Yayoi
There are some cello/piano duets out there...

Thanks for the offer. Aside from a single travelling filker who once stayed for a few days, music on Frigga only comes in digital formats. It's not something any of us do. It isn't something any of us even thought of. There's nothing musical out here.
The best place to set up would probably be the old gymnasium. When this was still a living town, it was also used as the town concert hall and cinema. I use it for martial arts training now, but moving my students won't be a problem. Shinji won't be going anywhere near it and I've been meaning to get them more zero-g time anyway. It should be perfect.
I guess I'll be seeing you soon so. I'll let you know when Shinji's been told.

That's beginning to sound a lot like a party for Shinji, isn't it? I heard Yayoi might be coming here too soon enough... and I don't know about you but I really thing the best thing for him would be to meet more people out here. Let him know he's not alone. Jet's too afraid of hurting the poor kid so she's going to end up doing him more harm than good by keeping him locked away.
I'm typing away here while I finish setting things up for later tonight. And Daryl won't stop teasing me about it. No we won't be doing anything dirty!

The package was about the size of a refrigerator, but didn't weigh all that much -- there was only one grav-lifter module attached, and it was a small one. It was a bit unwieldy, with the large size, and the corridors of the asteroid-station to navigate. Unpacking it, she found a large quantity of air-filled padding balloons, as expected, and a hard plastic instrument case about as tall as she was. She laid it out flat on the sofa and started to unclip the fastenings when...
"Uhm, Gally?"
The box forgotten at the tap on her shoulder, she whirled about, knife appearing out of nowhere in one hand, to look straight into the eyes of... her boss. "Eep! Don't -do- that, sir. One of these days someone isn't going to recognize you in time, and...."
"Alright, Gally, alright, I'll try to be good. I see you got it. Didn't have any trouble?"
"None at all, boss, none at all. Well, some arsewipe tried to bid me up on it, but I gave him a look and he backed down..."
Chris Marsden shook his head, stifling a laugh. "Oh, Gally, Gally, Gally. I'd tell you you're supposed to save the Glare O Doom for important matters... but this one kind of -is- important. So no lecture. Let's just hope it's in as good a shape as they promised."
Gally set herself down on one of the (very comfortable) visitor chairs, and nodded. "It looked OK at the auction, but what do I know from this stuff? I'm a gunsel, you should've sent a specialist."
"Oh, I did contact one," Marsden confessed. "He pointed out this particular auction to me... then confessed that he'd already been agented by three other buyers. So I wanted an independent on site. It was probably him that was bidding against you. I hope you didn't scare him -too- much..."
"He didn't have to run to the little boys' room for clean trousers afterwards, so I'd say it wasn't too much. I even got to bid on that dagger I wanted... got that one, too."
"Well congratulations, hon," Marsden mused, lifting out the instrument from the padded case. "A bit overkill on the packing, but I suppose it can't hurt." He adjusted the tension on the bow briefly, then settled in to string the cello and tune it. "I do hope the poor kid appreciates it."
Gally grinned casually and sat back, watching the boss at work.

Packed and on my way to Frigga with Rei. Suggestions of beard, suit, and white gloves have been firmly nixed. Also bringing oranges, steak dinner, and string quartettage. (Despite the rumors, Stradivarius never did make a guitar. Corwin was talking out his ass.)

Hoooo boy.
Though it does give me an idea for a scene to slip in. A little bit of dream Rei..
Though rumours that I'd planned an ending with Shinji saying "It's okay for me to be here!" then waking up in the sea of LCL..... are patently false.

Hmm. Based on my reading, I was assuming Marsden was going quick.... before Shinji actually knows what's what. That actually fit quite well with what I'd planned, especially if Rei had been onboard whatever shuttle and verifiably so..... while at the same time Shinji starts seeing her. First in a dream, then continuing on out of the corner of his eyes..... a little like the apparitions that bookend the original Eva-series.
And both parties acting with the best of intentions..... manage to lead up to a rather nice moment I have planned where Shinji comes to the wrong conclusion.
There's no reason why it couldn't work at a distance, however.

Plenty of room, we're taking the RV. Sending Yayoi, hm? Good choice. Tell her to bring the cello anyway, we'll let the kid have his pick. See how well he knows his instruments... gotta go, ship's ready. Tell Yayoi I'll be there in an hour, and we'll be about two days getting out to Frigga.

I can be there within a couple of days. I've already got Starbug 1 loaded and ready to go. Geo's going to be my copilot for this. Jeph would, but... we had a major issue with one of the new customers that he's trying hard to sort out. It's being complicated by the customer being mundane, violatile, and setting off Jeph's biomod, which only makes things worse with them as they're completely flatfooted dealing with gender swapping.
Make a note. Try to never engage in biomod education with mundanes when things are already heated.
