A space-ship crash? I would think there would be plenty of better ways to greet new Transports. Even things like unsightly roommates or dingy floors rank secondary in overall effect now.

[ And he'd just started getting acquainted with the place, too. He could have never imagined the biggest source of disruption would be a radical destruction of his entire complex.

A hazing experience to rival all others, he supposed. ]

Well, I'm impressed by the hospitality here. Do events of this magnitude happen regularly?

How have you three been holding up without adult supervision? I'm hoping for good news.

No problems.

[ A huge oversimplification, for sure, but her physical condition has been stable ever since she arrived. That's the question, isn't it? ]

[ Point. Her past aside, he's found Rei's mannerisms satisfactory - interestingly enough. The majority of people tended to have no appreciation for the necessity of straight facts.

It was an unfortunate refresher. ]

Well put. What's the last thing you remember from home?

[nothing]

The self-destruct sequence of Unit-00.

[ Though his response will establish his timeline and need for details, she understands how much this may provide on its own. ]

[reversemole]

[ Without a doubt, Kaji inwardly confirms, she was reviving in incident into memory wherein he was not present for.

Still too early to jump to conclusions. Not yet. ]

Not sure I recall. Care to elaborate for me?

man i have no idea if she knew what happened to him yet /wings it

[nothing]

The Sixteenth Angel achieved fusion with Unit-00. It became necessary to contain the Angel within the Eva and destroy them before Unit-01 was compromised.

You would have come from before.

[ How far before is another matter entirely. ]

what is continuum in eva let's be real

[reversemole]

[ That's more than enough information. Safe to make the conclusion with a cocksure certainty, then: come from before must be code for died from before.

That makes the two of them, then. It takes him a moment longer to respond. ]

I guess I'm not choosy about who gets the blame. How long ago was it, Ayanami?

[nothing]

I have been here for approximately three months.

[reversemole]

Still leading the team?

[ Well, it's worth a shot. ]

[nothing]

[ Leading? Whatever is meant by that, interaction between the three of them has been minimal. At least, as far as she can define it. ]

Uncertain.

[reversemole]

[ ...Oh. ]

There's a name here I'm not familiar with.

[nothing]

[ Sorry, Kaji. ]

Nagisa.

[reversemole]

Nagisa Kaworu.

[ He knows him by another name -- Tabris. An incriminating name, indeed.

This shall prove interesting. ]

[nothing]

Yes.

I was informed of his death as the Seventeenth Angel. He is [ Disconcerting. Alike and not. ] an anomaly.

[reversemole]

That's food for the thought.

[ ...Among other things. Kaworu's 'anomaly' status means he should fit right in, though. Regardless, it was best to pretend he didn't know what the hell Rei was talking about when it came to this. ]

So, he came from a time period following yours. [ And his. ] I get the impression that he's more friendly than the other Angels I've seen. Should I run for cover?

[nothing]

He says that he finds humans admirable. More worthy of survival.

[ Even with the time she's spent here, instinct compels her just to leave facts as they are. ]

[reversemole]

[ Which pretty much advocated for leniency. ]

No reservations? I see.

[nothing]

I am observing his actions with the other pilots. No significant reports so far.

[reversemole]

[ Leave it to the First Child, to not warrant a chance to let something slip from her scrutiny. ]

A one-girl job? I can't let that happen. [ Let Uncle Kaji help. ] You have me to report to if you notice anything in the future.
