"PLAY!"
"Now now ELIZA, you have a job to do."
"PLAY..."
"Rei, we're deploying the oversized tennis ball." Misato groaned.
"BALL? BALL!"
The ball cannon fired into the face of an MP-Eva. It looked down and picked it up in bemusement.
"BALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLSQUIRREL"
ELIZA ripped apart the MP-Evangelion, and left carrying the oversized tennis ball in its jaws.
"Good girl." Rei cooed.
"MY BALL."

Now I see Evangelions acting like dogs with attention deficit and pilots trying to keep them on target at all times. And if we add more dog behavior... well. Friends of mine have a very active dog (a greyhound half-breed) who loves other animals. It tries to befriend hedgehogs (they don't like it), rescues moles (literally, one was drowning after a rain and she dig it out and carried it to safety), and is scarily friendly to all local life (and its genuine desire to play).
And now, imagine Evangelion who wants to play with that large thing making those loud purring noises and does not accept explanation that the truck is not in the mood to play and the driver is in panic...

Interesting thought, but there's a logistics problem. Yet another Rei body is relatively easy to explain (if Ritsuko had one, Gendo could too), but yet another Rei soul is harder.
We know souls can be split in the Evangelion universe. In fact, we know Rei's soul has already been split at least once, to create the part that went into Eva-00. I don't remember if Rei's soul is itself split off of Lilith's soul, or is the whole thing (minus the part that went into Eva-00), or if we've even been told that yet.
Could Rei's soul be split again? Maybe, though it's not clear how many times a soul can be divided before Bad Things start to happen. I would think, however, that Rei or Kaworu would have noticed if a piece of Rei's soul had gone missing between her death and resurrection. Is it possible, then, that a "backup soul" was split off much, much earlier: maybe even at the same time her soul was split to create Unit-00's Core? That would prevent anyone from noticing a later soul-split, because you wouldn't have to do one.

While I don't have the same... hatred you have for the pairing, I don't care for it either because well in my view Kaworu should only be interested in Shinji (or at the very least only guys) and well trying to have him in a heterosexual relationship raises some... unfortunate implications.
In the Neon Genesis Evangelion 2: Another Cases Official Guidebook states, "while his feelings of love (愛情) for Shinji are strangely strong, his romantic affections (愛情) towards members of the opposite sex such as Ritsuko and Maya are weak. Could this be because he is an Angel? Under these circumstances, forming a 'rabu rabu' relationship with Shinji is preferable. As the relationship is satisfactory, concern over forming other relationships is unnecessary."
Some of the cast's Japanese voice actors also agree that Shinji and Kaworu are a couple. In official media from Manga, Rebuild, Angelic Days, and Campus Apocalypse (two of them where he isn't an Angel) Kaworu really is only interested in one person... Shinji Ikari.
By the way BG_Character_592 how do you think Kaworu will react when he founds out that in most worlds "Kaworu Nagisa" only loves Shinji?

I'm pretty sure he already knows about it in canon A&T.
IIRC he mentioned this to Rei, how he gets these "hints", so to speak, of other universes (I'd find a quote but mobile is annoying
). Some where he loved Shinji. Some where Shinji was the one who ended him.Then again, I don't think he mentioned it to anyone but Rei. Could be confronting for him, especially if he has a vague "recollection" of the event.
But as we know, he's already been confronted numerous times in Laserdisc. Maybe it'll remind him just how good things turned out.

They may take some small comfort in the idea that it isn't all that obvious in canon whether Rei is on drugs or simply too alien to experience her emotions clearly. Of course, that may not make them feel better, but it's probably a better thought for Rei than she is trapped in that numbed state and unable to escape. And she will probably welcome the character development that led to her turning on Gendo whether it comes with feeling more "human" or not.

Once they see the kiss fail Asuka (after going into a minor BSOD moment with Shinji) probably will say:
The kiss: "Ok fine, whatever, the kiss went... Poorly that time but my other self will just try again and she will succeed and everyone will have their happy ending."
Leliel episode: "So we switch places whatever, things still ended the same more or less." Shinji: "Asuka... I broke out of the Angel ALONE." Asuka: "I know but things are still salvageable. My counterpart just has to try again."
Bardiel episode: Asuka: "
OH GOTT, SCHEISSE." Shinji: "T-toji leg hi-" Asuka: "Shinji focus on me, I'm here. You Are NOT Alone. We're all here."

You pretty much read my mind
Once the divergence happens, there won't be many happy times. Especially since the divergence happens almost at the same time canon takes several turns for the worse.

That's backwards, but still good. The real trick of it, though, is going to be watching Shinji reveal he is not left-handed. Some of the other scenes, though...
Asuka: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
Angel in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
Asuka: [brandishing rock] I could kill you now.
Angel in Black: Frankly, I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.
Asuka: It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.
...
Shinji: Hello! My name is Ikari Shinji! You killed my mother! Prepare to die!
Count Gendo: Stop saying that!
Shinji: HELLO! MY NAME IS IKARI SHINJI! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! PREPARE TO DIE!
Shinji : Offer me money.
Count Gendo: Yes!
Shinji: Power, too, promise me that.
Count Gendo: All that I have and more. Please…
Shinji: Offer me anything I ask for.
Count Gendo: Anything you want…
Shinji: I want my mother back, you son of a bitch!
All these Princess Bride quotes reminds me of another crossover.

I find it quite silly that Kaworu would be limited by silly Lilim constructs like sexual preference, to be honest.

Even among Lilim, those who are purely one way of the other are vanishingly rare. The great vastness of humanity all have the capacity to... appreciate... others of the same and opposite sex, even if they typically have a much greater preference towards one or the other.

This could be TsundeRei all over again.
Hmm... did Kaworu tell Rei about when he first fell in love with her -- gazing up at her from the ground in awe after she'd roundly clobbered him for his ill-considered idea of approaching Shinji and Asuka improperly?
Personally, I don't think that she should call him that until she gets her memories back (and that it should be the first thing she says to him when she does).

IIRC, when that happened, he got a peek at her panties. He probably shouldn't mention that bit until Rei either has her memories back or falls in love with him all over again.

I think the only time he saw those was when they were hanging on the drying rack in her bedroom. In any case, in their first confrontation, I think his attention was more focused on her face... glowing eyes and all.

Oh gods. You're likely right, a girl she trusts and can observe most of her time. That's mixing metaphorical fire (that mellowed out a bit) with metaphorical ice (that has warmed up quite well).
In other words, fun for the readers, whole world of confusion with a little bit of suffering for Trout.
Definitely. His physical attraction is merely a side effect of his Lilim body, coming naturally... but second to soul-to-soul attraction. Still present, still useful (silences the Call!), but not the main reason for his feelings.

Guess what time it is? It's time for trauma Laserdisc Chronicles! An MP-Evangelion gets eviscerated (again), Maya confronts and comforts Ritsuko, and Shinji doesn't know how to use the Laserdisc player!
Another day, another attempt by SEELE to enact some sense of revenge. Ritsuko grumbled. This was just another annoyance.
Especially when she now has to seriously consider developing Eva sized mops for cleaning up the aftermath. Maybe they should have taught Asuka more productive methods of letting out her anger and frustration.
But, the blood's been spilt already, and Asuka claimed another metaphorical scalp. Okay, it wasn't exactly metaphorical. "Man I should not be enjoying this as much as I am."
"We all have our quirks, Asuka." Her counterpart radioed. "There are dozens out there whose quirk is a thirst for their enemies blood."
"If anything, I'd say it was a healthy attitude when it came to our enemies." Hikari mused on the open line. "Well, healthy for us at least."
Misato facepalmed. "Can we at least try to recover one of their plugs intact? It would be nice to study something that isn't powdered Evangelion."
"We can certainly try Commander." Shinji teased, as he picked up one of the fallen MP-Evangelion's weapons and lobbed it at another, dazing it. They could turn into an AT Field penetrating lance, but NERV did not know of the mechanism to do so, despite research. Right now, the only strategy against such weapons was 'dodge'.
But that wasn't entirely an issue, unless you were slow. The MP-Evangelion were easy enough to disarm, thanks to their relative unintelligence, especially with coordinated efforts and firepower.
Asuka roundhouse kicked the dazed MP-Eva and proceeded to dismember it, which kept it immobilised. They could regenerate, so Asuka usually only had a good 20 seconds to remove the Dummy Plug and disable the MP-Eva. But she worked fast with that prog knife of hers.
She haphazardly threw the plug to Hikari like a fumbling relay runner, who set it against a building for recovery.
"Asuka, can you please not completely tear this one to shreds? Major Ibuki's gonna be sick."
The berzerker rolled her eyes and drove her prog knife into the core, dispatching the plugless MP-Eva in a way that didn't cause the Major to blow chunks at the sight.
"That the last of them?" She spoke into the radio, slightly puffed for breath.
"Yeah, that looks like all of them." A somewhat queasy Maya replied.
"We'll keep you up there for another hour in case there's more." The sub-commander chimed in. "And to clean up the mess."
~
"Okay, you only managed to bathe half the city in Eva blood this time."
"Got the job done though." Asuka handwaved.
"Even though you had to be up there for three hours cleaning up the remains." The commander glared. "Still though, good work, all of you. We should be able to get some decent data from that recovered plug."
"Thank you Commander." Shinji, Asuka and Hikari said as they bowed in unison.
"You're all dismissed. Get cleaned up." She left for the requisite forestwork.
~
Yet more things on Ritsuko's plate. At least the recovered dummy plug should give some decent data, despite it being beat up. Dummy...

"Liar."
A gun fired.
It... rebounded?
He paused.
A gun fired.

A knocking on her office door jolted her again. 'Not again' she thought.
"Sempai?"
It's just Maya, she thought. Just... Maya.
"C-come in, Maya."
The Major let herself in. "Sempai, I think I- Ritsuko?" She laid eyes on her Sempai.
Her eyes were unfocused. Her body was trembling. It was too obvious she was pained by something.
"I-Is everything okay Sempai?"
She nodded.
"Okay." She made her decision. "Enough."
Maya dragged a chair over and sat down, next to the doctor. "Please Ritsuko." She begged. "Tell me what's wrong."
"...please Maya."
"You can tell me. You can trust me." Maya reached out for her hand, a voice of deep concern. "It's obvious you're struggling with something. I'm not dumb."
"...that obvious?"
"Yeah. To me at least."
Their eyes locked. Maya could see the pain in Ritsuko's eyes, and Ritsuko could see the genuine worry born out of love in Maya's misty eyes.
Ritsuko sighed. "Okay." She whimpered. "Okay, Maya." The doctor took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a long drag. It did nothing to calm her. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
Maya gently squeezed her Sempai's hand. "Talk to me Ritsuko."
"I've- I've been having flashbacks. I think I have post traumatic stress."
Maya took in her confession. Unprompted, Ritsuko continued.
"I think I know where it comes from. T-Terminal Dogma. Gendo. He... He..." She was on the verge.
It was at this point the Major wrapped her arms around her Sempai. She cooed her name. She knew exactly what she was talking about.
She was right there with her.
Ritsuko held her Kohai tight and cried.
The odd looking discs the Major found could wait.
~
Shinji Ikari and Co were chilling out in Misato's apartment. He had just cooked all of them dinner when the phone rang.
"Hello? Oh, hey Misato!"
"Heya Shin-chan! I'm gonna be pretty late with this national park on my desk, so you guys can watch the next disc without me."
"Oh? Are you sure you don't want us to wait for another night Misato?"
"Nah, it's all good. You guys deserve some R&R after your battle today. Just make sure you tell me what happens, mmkay?"
"Alright Misato, we'll see you when you get back."
"Good boy. And don't forget to turn off the Laserdisc player this time!"
He chuckled. "I won't. See ya Misato."
"Byeee."
CLICK
Asuka looked up from her ramen. "Wauhshat Mishato?"
He nodded, putting the phone back on its cradle. "She's gonna be late back. She said to watch the next one without her, as long as 'we tell her what happens'."
Asuka shrugged, and actually swallowed her food before speaking. "Her loss. You two fine with watching on without Misato?"
They nodded. "I agree with Asuka, it's her loss if she misses out on any important details."
"Alright. Guess we're watching without Misato." Shinji said, slightly disappointed but he understood being a commander meant being busy. "Though I have a question."
"Eh?"
"How the hell do we use the Laserdisc player?"
~
"So the episode Misato misses out on, is the one episode none of us were involved in, and had no idea what was going on." The redhead complained.
Kaworu chuckled. "Do we ever have any idea what's going on?"
"Okay fair enough. At least now I know how you feel watching us, and finding out about all these events that you didn't go through."
"It's interesting, isn't it Asuka?" The fish began. "Seeing the lives and perspectives of others where we would've had no knowledge about them otherwise."
"I mean, it sounds kinda voyeuristic when you put it that way."
He shrugged. "You guys seem alright with us watching your lives. It's only a matter of time before you get to experience parts of my life."
"I suppose it's gonna hurt you, and us." Shinji confessed. "Considering all you went through."
"I'm not worried about it Shinji. I have Rei, you and Asuka by my side to comfort me if it gets hard."
They smiled. "That's a good attitude to have Kaworu." Shinji got up and stood dumbly next to the Laserdisc player when he realised he still doesn't know how to use it.
"I'll do it Shinji." Asuka went up to the player but paused. "You seriously haven't used a Laserdisc player? Or even a VCR?"
He shook his head. "My uncle never had any of that stuff. And even here I never really had to operate it."
"Well, it's pretty simple really." She pointed out the buttons on the player. "You have play, stop, pause, eject, rewind and fast forward. They're all pretty self explanatory."
"Rewind?"
"Fast forward but backward."
"Oh." He clicked the eject button, and like magic the comically oversized disc came out. "Sweet."
"Now you just flip the disc. Try not to touch the reflective sides, that messes with the video."
He carefully flipped over the disc, and put the tray back into the machine. "I did it!"
Asuka messed his hair. "Nice work my baka."
~
"Isn't that where Lillith is?"
"Yes. The Lance was used to further immobilise her, on the committee's request."
"She's still there, isn't she?"
"As far as I know. I haven't been down to Terminal Dogma ever since the former commander played his hand."
"I find it odd that you Li- humans, would capture and display your own progenitor, essentially your God." Kaworu remembered his first reaction to seeing Lilith. He feared her, somewhat. His instincts went insane upon seeing the progenitor of all life on Earth, sans him. He found it hard to control such a strong instinct to run.
"If you can control your God, do you not become God yourself?" The other Nephilim philosophised. "That is the base idea of complementation. Become one with God, become God Themself."
"Ignoring all the existential bullcrap about having God imprisoned in our basement," Asuka emphasised the absurdity, "the episodes on this disc were kinda tame. At least in comparison to many of the previous ones."
"Kinda like that Jet Alone episode. Of course it didn't help one episode covered something none of us knew about, and half of the second episode was a recap." Shinji muttered in slight annoyance.
Asuka reacted with a shrug. "At least with Iruel, now we know what happened during those events, instead of sitting naked in an entry plug for half the day."
"That reminds me." Kaworu began. "When was the last time we had a cross sync test?"
Rei thought. "We had one sometime before Armisael. I don't think NERV has been scheduling them due to other events."
"Like Armisael... not going as well as we hoped."
"Or like SEELE wreaking the place."
"Yes." Rei succinctly replied. "And the ongoing attacks."
Asuka sighed. "Oh well. I'm sure we still have a lot to go through before those events happen."
"Lots of trauma." The third quipped.
"We have each other to rely on, at least."
~
Major Maya was curled up to her Sempai. Well, 'Sempai' may have been an inappropriate word to use in their current situation. Of course, maybe Ritsuko was into that sort of thing. Or maybe she was projecting.
'Yes I get it brain, no need to be all perverted.' Maya thought to herself.
Considering what did happen today, Maya thought she should be somewhat bemused she ended up in Ritsuko's bed. Not that she minded, of course, but considering Ritsuko's mental state earlier today, she thought that would be the last thing to happen. But here she was, wrapped in Ritsuko's arms, having been drilled like an Arabian oil well.
Maybe it gave her Sempai a sense of comfort. At least it was better than those damn smokes of hers.
Ritsuko sighed. "...I needed that, Maya. It's been too long. Far too long."
"Feeling better Ritsuko?"
She nodded. "Yeah. I think so... Sorry if I... came onto you too hard. I wasn't-"
"Shhhh..." The Kohai placed her finger on her Sempai's lips, looking up at her. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it too."
Ritsuko gave a soft smile. "You're adorable, you know."
"Hehe, I know. But under my soft exterior is a lot of hard stuff too, you realise." She turned inward.
"...Sometimes I wonder how you're still cheery after all we've been through."
She shrugged. "What's done is done. We just gotta keep moving forward, is all. No use fawning over the past. Live for the day, y'know?"
The doctor sighed. "I wish I had that attitude."
Maya snuggled up to Ritsuko. "Guess I'll just have to be twice as cheerful to compensate then."
This brought a giggle out of her as she ran a hand over Maya. Her eyes drifted...
...over to the bag Maya bought with her, stationed on the bedside table.
"Hmm."
"Eh?"
"What's the bag there for?"
"Ehhhh.. Oh!" Maya got her train of thought back on track. "That's right, I was gonna tell you about something I found when I got our laundry."
"Oh?" She looked into the bag. 3 discs, in clear covers with no labelling. "...CDs?"
"Yeah. It's weird though." She stated. "I've never seen CDs like it."
Ritsuko took one out of a case and looked it over.
"...Blue?" Pigmented CD's did exist; indeed a popular games console from pre-2I used such discs. But it was still an odd sight.
The major nodded. "It didn't work in any of the CD drives I tried it with as well."
"...Curious."
Yet another thing for the good doctor to look into. Ritsuko never really liked CD's: too little storage, too static (unless you were willing to spend hundreds of thousands of Yen) and fragile. But it was a consumer standard, so she had to be acquainted with them. She actually thought it was a shame the DVD flopped so hard after 2nd Impact that even a damned Laserdisc was cheaper to manufacture and sell than a DVD.
Maybe they were DVDs, but having not just one but three objects of such an expensive medium, just sitting there in a trash bag. They obviously had something on them.
For now though, it could wait. She had other pressing matters at hand.

K: "So we're pretty much going into this episode blind."
A: "Yep. Though at least we'll be able to find out about what the hell happened." She shrugged.
S: "So the abort was caused by that corrosion?"
R: "Possibly."
Kaworu looked on. He was sure it wasn't corrosion.
~
Contamination
S: "It's not corrosion."
K: "Ohhh, yes I know what Iruel was trying."
A: "That's an Angel?!"
Kaworu nodded. "Iruel is legion, for It is many."
A: "Huh. Why the hell weren't we informed about this?"
K: "My suspicion is the commander didn't want anyone to know about an Angel getting into NERV."
R: "That sounds like something he would do."
A: "Also, why did NERV name these random objects after seemingly random biological terms?"
S: "Symbolism?" He shrugged.
~
Angel
S: "Man that would've scared everyone."
A: "An Angel getting that deep into Central? Of course it would scare the shit out of everyone."
R: "Your suspicions were correct Kaworu."
K: "It makes sense. He would absolutely get chewed out had SEELE found out."
A: "Which I'm sure they did."
~
Ozone
K: "NERV should not have done that."
R: "You can see their thinking however. The Angel appeared weak to ozone, therefore you use ozone to eradicate it."
K: "I assume they didn't know Iruel could rapidly evolve."
A: "So they pretty much screwed themselves over by doing that?"
K: "To put it bluntly, yes."
~
Hack
A: "Ohhhoh, Iruel you sneaky bastard. It evolved into a computer."
S: "It could do that?"
K: "If it made sense to Iruel, then It would do it, as part of Its natural evolution."
R: "What would it be evolving for?"
K: "I assume it was to achieve Its goal of complementation, as all Angels."
R: "Iruel naturally evolved to hack into the Magi. Interesting."
S: "Damn, that Angel is unstoppable."
K: "If It evolved to do that task, for a goal It so desperately desired, then nothing could stop It. Even something like hacking into a computer."
A: "I assume they did though, or we wouldn't be here to talk about it."
S: "Especially since Iruel's intention was self destructing the facility!"
~
Logic
S: "How do you even change the logic mode of a computer?"
A: "Well, it sounds like they changed base."
S: "Oh?"
A: "You know how the lowest form of logic in a computer is binary? 0 and 1, off or on?"
S: "Now I do."
She rolled her eyes. "From my studies I found a Soviet computer design that used ternary logic."
K: "So 3 states instead of 2?"
A: "Exactly. I even did a thesis on it. Something along the lines of 'Engineering Tertiary Logic and the Logistical Issues Associated'."
R: "So if Iruel evolved to use base 2, changing the logic to use another base would hold it off temporarily."
A: "Well, that's how I understood what they said. Honestly even if Misato was here, she probably wouldn't know that much more about it."
S: "I thought computers could only stay in one 'logic mode'."
A: "The Magi aren't regular computers. They're biocomputers, made from the literal brains of one of the industry's brightest minds. It's like trying to compare an abacus to... well, the Magi."
~
Casper
S: "One would think it was inefficient to store programming notes on sticky notes inside the computer."
A: "One would think, but good luck trying to understand whatever godforsaken language the Magi is coded in. It's practically only known to the Elder Akagi, who is dead, Ritsuko, and Maya."
K: "Maya seems really excited about programming the Magi."
A: "She's pretty adorable like that. It boggles my mind how someone so innocent could get involved in NERV."
S: "Man that is a lot of terminals. And why do you need power tools to program?"
~
Speed programming
K: "Only a show about us can make something as simple as programming a computer seem exciting and tense."
R: "To be fair, it's exciting and tense because an Angel was about to blow up NERV."
S: "Ritsuko seems rather calm about the whole blowing up business."
A: "She did say she had almost a second to spare."
R: "As she said, 'It's not a 0 or minus.'"
K: "So that's how Iruel annihilated itself. At the very least, It bought about Its own demise through evolving into a dead end."
S: "Even though NERV helped it along."
A: "Wait a goddamn minute. That means Ritsuko has a score on the Angel leaderboard! With a damn terminal as well!"
R: "It would've been nice if they hadn't forgotten about us for several hours though."
S: "Yeah, it was starting to get a bit annoying, especially with the pilot seat chafing my backside."
~
A: "Y'know, I think if I retire from piloting, I'd get into computer engineering."
S: "You did say you were interested in the technical aspects of things like that."
K: "Oh? I didn't know you were a techie Asuka."
Asuka shrugged. "One of my majors was in Electrical Engineering. That sort of stuff interests me, though piloting comes first of course."
R: "Maybe Dr Akagi can train you."
Asuka made a disgruntled sound. "I am not calling her Sempai."
~
Decontamination
S: "Oh man, this was embarrassing..."
A: "Well would ya look at that, I'm naked. Again." She said through clenched teeth. "Gottverdammt perverted 'Gainax'."
R: "I didn't think it was that bad."
A: "Rei, you never give a damn about being naked full stop."
K: "Can I look now?"
~
Simulation
A: "The simulation Evangelion was really weird."
R: "It's a soulless, half complete Eva. It would naturally feel weird."
S: "It felt cold."
A: "I couldn't feel half my body."
K: "I never got to experience this myself, but I can see how weird it would be."
R: "I'm pretty sure NERV never rebuilt the simulation bodies after the incident, so that makes sense."
A: "You didn't miss out on much Kaworu."
~
Corrosion
A: "I just realised, we don't know much about what happened after the test got aborted, did we?"
R: "Correct. The commander was silent about it."
S: "Maybe Misato would've known more about this."
K: "So we're pretty much going into this episode blind."
A: "Yep. Though at least we'll be able to find out about what the hell happened." She shrugged.

"So the episode Misato misses out on, is the one episode none of us were involved in, and had no idea what was going on." The redhead complained.
Kaworu chuckled. "Do we ever have any idea what's going on?"
"Okay fair enough. At least now I know how you feel watching us, and finding out about all these events that you didn't go through."
"It's interesting, isn't it Asuka?" The fish began. "Seeing the lives and perspectives of others where we would've had no knowledge about them otherwise."
"I mean, it sounds kinda voyeuristic when you put it that way."
He shrugged. "You guys seem alright with us watching your lives. It's only a matter of time before you get to experience parts of my life."
"I suppose it's gonna hurt you, and us." Shinji confessed. "Considering all you went through."
"I'm not worried about it Shinji. I have Rei, you and Asuka by my side to comfort me if it gets hard."
They smiled. "That's a good attitude to have Kaworu." Shinji got up and stood dumbly next to the Laserdisc player when he realised he still doesn't know how to use it.
"I'll do it Shinji." Asuka went up to the player but paused. "You seriously haven't used a Laserdisc player? Or even a VCR?"
He shook his head. "My uncle never had any of that stuff. And even here I never really had to operate it."
"Well, it's pretty simple really." She pointed out the buttons on the player. "You have play, stop, pause, eject, rewind and fast forward. They're all pretty self explanatory."
"Rewind?"
"Fast forward but backward."
"Oh." He clicked the eject button, and like magic the comically oversized disc came out. "Sweet."
"Now you just flip the disc. Try not to touch the reflective sides, that messes with the video."
He carefully flipped over the disc, and put the tray back into the machine. "I did it!"
Asuka messed his hair. "Nice work my baka."

Anno Domini 2015
A: "Wait, why are they recapping?"
S: "Well, we're just over the halfway point of the show. Maybe they felt a need to remind the viewer about what happened."
K: "Even though they would know what happened."
A: "And even though we know what happened. Even if we didn't experience those events, surely we wouldn't be daft enough to forget what happened!"
R: "I know Asuka likes to say they did things in the show to save money, but I believe this was a way of saving money."
A: "At least with the other methods it was mostly passable, but you can't just rehash the past 13 episodes and put it all into one episode, so as to 'recap.'"
K: "Though this looks more like an after action report, rather than an outright recap."
~
Gaghiel
K: "Interesting."
A: "Something catch your eye Kaworu?"
K: "More like ears. I think this is a recap by SEELE."
Shinji rolled his eyes. "Of course they'd know all about us."
A: "Maybe that would work as an explanation in our world, but when you consider this came from another universe, as a story, it's inexcusable!"
~
Iruel
A: "Even the all seeing eye didn't know what the hell happened during Iruel."
K: "They had suspicions, but it appears the commander defused them."
R: "They still had suspicions."
K: "Yes. The dead sea scrolls were specific in how it occurred, and this wasn't how it occurred."
S: "What were the dead sea scrolls anyway?"
K: "A prophecy. It would eventually lead to something known as Instrumentality."
A: "Rei mentioned something like that. It pretty damn scary."
K: "The idea was, indeed. The assimilation of every soul of Earth, and the ascendancy to Godhood by SEELE, via the Fruits of Life and Knowledge. That was their goal. And that is what they tried to accomplish when they attacked us."
S: "That was my father's goal as well."
K: "So they say. It was known to the upper echelons he had his own agenda though. Hence the attack."
S: "...My Mother did say something about him doing anything to get back to her."
A: "That seems a bit extreme for someone, ending the world and absorbing everyone."
S: "All to get back someone you loved and lost. Honestly, I think I would do something similar if I lost you, Asuka."
~
Weaving a Story
A: "We actually get new content?"
R: "It sounds like my philosophising."
K: "Do you remember saying all this?"
R: "Saying, no. But thinking."
A: "...This is all pretty private stuff Rei."
R: "Yes... But I'm fine with it being divulged to you three."
~
Compatibility
A: "Oh yeah, this was our first compatibility test, wasn't it?"
R: "Yes. I remember being able to synchronise with Unit-01 perfectly fine."
S: "Smelt like me?"
R: "I was specific in my wording of 'Ikari'."
K: "So Unit-01 can be used with most of the pilots then."
S: "Yeah. Asuka can sync with it cause of our close relationship, so can Rei. Hikari never had a relationship with my mother, or with me other than friend, so she can't sync high enough for it to be worth it. And it just outright rejected you, Kaworu."
K: "Not that I'd want to pilot Unit-01 anyway, no offence. It felt... foreign. Like I didn't belong."
~
Unit-00
R: "How did my Unit feel Shinji?"
S: "Odd. Even without taking into account it smelt like you, Rei. It felt... colder."
A: "I can see why Maya was hesitant about the dummy plug project. Considering how badly it failed."
S: "Around the time it went berserk is when my memories stopped and I woke up in a hospital again."
R: "She was like that. I think she hated Akagi, and me."
A: "Sounds like you two didn't get along too well."
R: "Unit-00 and I had a... working relationship. While I do sometimes miss having an Evangelion of my own, I do not miss the presence inside said Evangelion."
~
Lance
R: "I remember doing this."
A: "I can understand why you went along with him at least. Can't really hold it against you."
K: "Where were you taking Adam's Lance to anyway, Rei?"
R: "Terminal Dogma."
~
A: "Wait, why are they recapping?"

K: "Where were you taking Adam's Lance to anyway, Rei?"
R: "Terminal Dogma."
~
"Isn't that where Lillith is?"
"Yes. The Lance was used to further immobilise her, on the committee's request."
"She's still there, isn't she?"
"As far as I know. I haven't been down to Terminal Dogma ever since the former commander played his hand."
"I find it odd that you Li- humans, would capture and display your own progenitor, essentially your God." Kaworu remembered his first reaction to seeing Lilith. He feared her, somewhat. His instincts went insane upon seeing the progenitor of all life on Earth, sans him. He found it hard to control such a strong instinct to run.
"If you can control your God, do you not become God yourself?" The other Nephilim philosophised. "That is the base idea of complementation. Become one with God, become God Themself."
"Ignoring all the existential bullcrap about having God imprisoned in our basement," Asuka emphasised the absurdity, "the episodes on this disc were kinda tame. At least in comparison to many of the previous ones."
"Kinda like that Jet Alone episode. Of course it didn't help one episode covered something none of us knew about, and half of the second episode was a recap." Shinji muttered in slight annoyance.
Asuka reacted with a shrug. "At least with Iruel, now we know what happened during those events, instead of sitting naked in an entry plug for half the day."
"That reminds me." Kaworu began. "When was the last time we had a cross sync test?"
Rei thought. "We had one sometime before Armisael. I don't think NERV has been scheduling them due to other events."
"Like Armisael... not going as well as we hoped."
"Or like SEELE wreaking the place."
"Yes." Rei succinctly replied. "And the ongoing attacks."
Asuka sighed. "Oh well. I'm sure we still have a lot to go through before those events happen."
"Lots of trauma." The third quipped.
"We have each other to rely on, at least."
~
Major Maya was curled up to her Sempai. Well, 'Sempai' may have been an inappropriate word to use in their current situation. Of course, maybe Ritsuko was into that sort of thing. Or maybe she was projecting.
'Yes I get it brain, no need to be all perverted.' Maya thought to herself.
Considering what did happen today, Maya thought she should be somewhat bemused she ended up in Ritsuko's bed. Not that she minded, of course, but considering Ritsuko's mental state earlier today, she thought that would be the last thing to happen. But here she was, wrapped in Ritsuko's arms, having been drilled like an Arabian oil well.
Maybe it gave her Sempai a sense of comfort. At least it was better than those damn smokes of hers.
Ritsuko sighed. "...I needed that, Maya. It's been too long. Far too long."
"Feeling better Ritsuko?"
She nodded. "Yeah. I think so... Sorry if I... came onto you too hard. I wasn't-"
"Shhhh..." The Kohai placed her finger on her Sempai's lips, looking up at her. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it too."
Ritsuko gave a soft smile. "You're adorable, you know."
"Hehe, I know. But under my soft exterior is a lot of hard stuff too, you realise." She turned inward.
"...Sometimes I wonder how you're still cheery after all we've been through."
She shrugged. "What's done is done. We just gotta keep moving forward, is all. No use fawning over the past. Live for the day, y'know?"
The doctor sighed. "I wish I had that attitude."
Maya snuggled up to Ritsuko. "Guess I'll just have to be twice as cheerful to compensate then."
This brought a giggle out of her as she ran a hand over Maya. Her eyes drifted...
...over to the bag Maya bought with her, stationed on the bedside table.
"Hmm."
"Eh?"
"What's the bag there for?"
"Ehhhh.. Oh!" Maya got her train of thought back on track. "That's right, I was gonna tell you about something I found when I got our laundry."
"Oh?" She looked into the bag. 3 discs, in clear covers with no labelling. "...CDs?"
"Yeah. It's weird though." She stated. "I've never seen CDs like it."
Ritsuko took one out of a case and looked it over.
"...Blue?" Pigmented CD's did exist; indeed a popular games console from pre-2I used such discs. But it was still an odd sight.
The major nodded. "It didn't work in any of the CD drives I tried it with as well."
"...Curious."
Yet another thing for the good doctor to look into. Ritsuko never really liked CD's: too little storage, too static (unless you were willing to spend hundreds of thousands of Yen) and fragile. But it was a consumer standard, so she had to be acquainted with them. She actually thought it was a shame the DVD flopped so hard after 2nd Impact that even a damned Laserdisc was cheaper to manufacture and sell than a DVD.
Maybe they were DVDs, but having not just one but three objects of such an expensive medium, just sitting there in a trash bag. They obviously had something on them.
For now though, it could wait. She had other pressing matters at hand.
~
Bit of a shorter Chronicles this time. Course, it doesn't help the pilots weren't involved that much at all in 13, and 14 was half a clip show and (to them) routine test procedures.
Maya finally confronted Ritsuko about her issues. Hopefully Rits will finally be able to get help for it. I'm certain Maya will want to help her, and comfort her, in one of the few ways the people of Evangelion know INTIMACY
Ritsuko is also gonna have fun with those newfound discs of Maya's. Here's a fun thing you can do, find a digital storage medium from an alien universe, and try to access and interpret the data on it, with absolutely no knowledge about the standards on how to access or interpret it
The divergence is soon. These sweet summer Children do not know of fear.
