God, Angels and Moons (NGE) (rewrite from page three on)

[Neepa]

First rewritten chapter and not an awfull lot different from the first try but that will change with the next one. Also have to thank Sovereign on this one as this is a further edited and expanded version he beta read for me on request, but I never posted in the end. I tend to write from every viewpoint that exist to create an immersive almost game-like experience. Also this should be considered 18+ as I do not wear satin gloves while typing.
Also will overhaul the worldbuilding chapters I did, tomorrow. Maybe....
So unto becoming somewhat of a writer once more!​

Old Standards
​

The room was shrouded in shadow as usual. The black monoliths of the Human Instrumentality Committee hovered around him in a circle, their sight being something that would have humbled lesser men.

But Gendo simply gazed back at them. He was in his usual pose, his glasses reflecting all the little light there was in the room. Fuyutzuki stood beside him. Everything was like usual... but it wasn't.

''Ikari! How do you defend yourself and your recent actions?''

Gendo looked at the French politician who hid behind the monolith bearing SEELE 08. ''What have I to defend?'' slight annoyance evident in his voice.

''Unit 01 acquiring an S2 Engine, the destruction of the second branch through Unit 04, an Angel infesting Unit 03, disloyal personnel and the loss of the conduit system for Instrumentality? We are neither blind nor stupid Ikari! Explain yourself!''

Gendo began to answer but was disturbed by Keel. ''With so many errors and catastrophes we cannot risk our final endeavour Ikari. Whilst it shall be achieved in the end, our plan's success may have to be postponed..''

''Some mistakes and adjustments were to be expected and half of these incidents are unrelated to each other, but why will it be prolonged?'' This wasn't going according to plan at all. And Gendo Ikari didn't like things that didn't follow the scenario.

''Unforeseen activity in Antarctica.''

''Activity?'' That wasn't expected and furthermore not included in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

''Angelic in being. Parts of Adam's remains, which we couldn't take possession of, produced a sudden A.T.-Field burst. Three days later we had more all over the world.''

''So...Adam has not yet been bested?''

''No and because of that the scenario must be prolonged. We cannot tolerate any interference with Human Instrumentality. In light of these news and the dangers we had with Unit01 in possession of a S2 Engine we will continue with the production of an updated variety of Unit 03 and 04."

''A new series without S2 Engines?'' Gendo was surprised in some ways, but not in others.

"Do you know what the production and maintenance of the first five Unit cost to make them and keep them battle ready? Your Second in Command should be able to give you an accurate account of the resources needed for that. The first series was too much a strain on resources to keep them up indefinitely as we will have to sooner than later." SEELE03 berated him.

''And what of Tokyo-3 and NERV Central? With the war prolonged we will have to bring the facility back to full defensive strength, and considering the recent damage we took-''

''We will rebuild it, but it will not be as elaborate as before. In face of a prolonged war the base will be rebuilt more cost effectively and stronger than before.'' Keel answered ''All inefficiencies shall be cut away. You may begin with repairs and reconstruction immediately. Further funding will be provided shortly.''

''What will become of the current Units? Are they to be repaired?''

''They will be repaired, but are not to be used if we can prevent it. After repair, their cages will be sealed, and the Units mothballed. The Pilots shall be kept within the Geofront, ready for use should the need arise. They will be our Plan B. And I must emphasize Ikari, failure to follow these commands will have consequences. Our eyes and ears everywhere, we will know of any further...deviations...''
The holograms disappeared and the room lit up leaving Gendo with Fuyutzuki standing behind him.

"How do we continue Ikari? Seele knows we aren't playing completely by their rules and will keep their eyes on us even more now."
"Let them. They do not have a view of the whole game we are playing. Let them wander in the dark trying to find something by chance Sensei." he turned around to him as they reached the set of gargantuan doors leading to his office.
"Notify the important staff of the changes and erstwhile modus operandi. Also handle the Pilots and our esteemed Doctor."
The doors closed in front of him with an audible CLACK of the lock.
"There are fewer people grasping in the dark than you think." with that Kozo made for his own office down the hallway.

His own office wasn't even an tenth the size of Gendo's and he did like it. Back at university his only slightly untidy office was only as big as the one the Major uses. Without all the bookshelves and registers full of papers, books and study's around metaphysics.
He sat down in his comfy leader chair an took two objects out of the drawer from his desk.
The frame was looking as new as when he put the picture in it 15 years ago.
Unscrewing the cap he took a sip out of the other it and let his head fall back.
The Doctor isn't going to be such a big problem to put her to service. She is too easily motivated by her emotions to do things. The Major will be all ears when it's good for the Pilots and she could see him again. The pilots will require a bit more personal approach with the Second Child needing contact with her former guardian at best.
He exhaled slowly and felt every year he had lived.
"I'm going to lean on your son heavily, Yui. I hope he will weather what is to come or your husband or Seele will doom us all."
He put the flask back and left with fast steps leaving the frame on the desk.
Time to hatch some plan's.

Around a week earlier:
Light fell into the dim warehouse as a door opened and someone stepped inside.
He could only see the outline of the person in the door. The reflection of steel however faintly visible against the sinking sun.
"Didn't think you would come so late." that was it. That were supposed to be his last words.
But the shot to end his life never came. The sun continued to set with him still alive and the fan continued his whining song. For a moment it was the only sound cutting through the silence.

"Ever considered searching for a new occupation? A triple agent that gets caught too early should be considered sloppy."
Kaji couldn't beliefe who had rescued him from certain death. He only snapped out of his stupor as the metal pipe, which struck down his assassin, was thrown aside.
Or was he here to finish the job himself. He didn't take him as the guy to do it though.

"Does the Commander want confirmation his scheme is completely safe from Seele? O which circumstance awards me the honour Vice-Commander Fuyutzuki?"

"I'm not here in service of Gendo or anybody else. It might be silly but a deed not repaid is supposed to bring bad luck."

"But that isn't the only cause for you to come to my rescue, isn't it." the Vice-Commander had a neck to loose to after all no matter to whom.

"No, it isn't.--Seele will be dissatisfied with the last events and unforeseen incidents, so they will try to reaffirm control over the scenario."

"Which isn't in favour of the Commander at all. His goals differ after all. So how can myself, a bad triple agent with an agenda of his own help you the Vice-Commander of Nerv?" he actually was interested what Fuyutzuki would have in mind.

"First of all staying alive, and establishing contact with the Japanese Ministry of the Interior. Someone higher up is willing to cooperate."


Only later on would Fuyutzuki really appreciate to have done this.

Corrected version of the old worldbuilding chapter with new threadmark.

The Moon's:

• The White Moon and the BLack Moon were the vessels transporting Adam and Lilith through interstellar space in search of new planets to colonize. However due to a failure of Lilith's vessel the Black Moon crash-landed on Earth after The White Moon had released Adam and it's seed on Earth. Due to that impact the White Moon was shoved off Earth and formed together with debris from Earth the real Moon.
• The Progenitors were and are only users of the vessels and only have 'User' access to it and not 'Admin' access which is reserved for the complete 'Ancestral Race' (the exstinct race who send them).
• The Lances are the control key and security device of each Moon to prevent the unification of both Fruits into the 'Fruit of Wisdom'.
• Both Progenitors can use the Lances to get access to their respektive vessels. Complete acces by the Lances is only granted to the Ancestrals or a being equal to them.

The Progenitors
​

Lilith and Souls:​

• Lilith is the Progenitor of almost all current life on Earth except the Angels and the Units.
• The only exception is Unit 01 created from Lilith's body herself, although It didn't inherit a piece of Lilith's Soul.
• Lilith's 'Fruit' is the 'Fruit of Knowledge'.
• All beings from Lilith can potentially inherit a Soul which she herself has.
• There is an absolute amount of Souls transported within the Black Moon totalling around 6.1 billion souls.
• The Souls are being refurbished and cleansed of it's previous owner by the Black Moon, after the death of it's owner, before the Soul is redistributed to a new one.
• Souls are distributed to the most evolved species of the planet and the only limitation is it needs to be of Lilith.
• A Soul is methaphisical thing that 'randomizes' certain aspekts of it's owner and strengthens the mind-generated A.T-Field of it's owner.
• This 'Randomisation' manifests in Creativity, but only if the owner is selfaware and sentient enough - ergo- has a Mind.
• Lilith's control key and security device for the Black Moon is lost and/or destroyed.

Adam and the S2​Engine:

• Adam is the Progenitor of all the Angels and per principle most of the Units.
• Adam's 'Fruit' is the 'Fruit of Life' in form of the S2​Engine – a engine with a power supply of infinite duration, but not infinite in strength.
• The difference between the Units and the Angels is the mostly human form of them and the absence of the S2​Engine in them are created by humans. Although that is only true for Unit00,Unit02 and the second Generation of Units and not for Unit04 and the first and second batch of the Mass Production Evangelions.
• The S2​Engine induces electrical current into it's owner or any other machine capable of turning it on and running it.
• Wherethe engine is drawing power from is unknown/unclear.
• The S2​Engine is more of a power transformer than an engine.
• The S2​Engine boosts the A.T.-Field of it's owners mind by a great amount and the strength of the field is proportional to the output of the engine.
• The Lance of Longinus is the control key to the White Moon and it's security device to prevent the unification of both fruits into the 'Fruit of Wisdom'.

Mind in harmony with the 'Fruits':

• The A.T-Field is created by the Mind and can be reinforced by either of the Fruits, although not as much by the 'Fruit of Knowledge' than the 'Fruit of Life'.
• Each living being has a mind of some sorts although it depends on the evolutionary status of the being how strong the Mind is.
• The Mind can survive the death of it's physical body either engraved into a S2​Engine or a Soul.
• A being with it's Mind engraved into a Soul and the Soul integrated into a S2​Engine is equal to the Ancestral Race.
• The S2​Engine achives a overclocked state if all three are unified and the strength of the energyflow reaches near infinity.
• Unification of a naked Soul and S2​Engine without a Mind is impossible and will result in destruction of the S2​Engine.
• A Mind is needed to control the power of the unified Soul and S2​Engine.
• The A.T-Field is created through the declaration of the mind where his physical being begins and where it ends.
• Only biological lifeforms have an A.T.-Field.

The Units and their Trinity:

• The physical body of the Units is either made from Adam or Lilith.
• Each Unit has a mind of their own.
• Each Unit has a 'core' to store the soul to control it once activated.
• The 'core' is similar to a S2​Engine.
• The stored Soul is in a continuing state of half coma due to the inability of the Mind engraved Soul to projekt a A.T.-Field big and strong enough to accomodate for the body.
• Through the Mind and Soul of the Pilot the Mind of the Unit itself can be slaved to the Pilots will using the engraved Soul as a intermediate part.
• The engraved Soul is needed to projekt the A.T.-Field of the Unit controlled by the Pilot.
• This Trinity only works fully if the Pilot has a mutual understanding with the engraved Soul and the Pilots A.T.-Field and Soul are undamaged.
