[X] Hikari's compensation and contract. Hikari was offered very specific incentives to pilot, but it seems like they've gotten lost or shuffled to low priority by NERV's bureaucracy.
There is no way "arguing with the budget committee" is in Misato's job description. Also, I would be (pleasantly) shocked if they were paying the kids enough for their compensation to be so much as a rounding error in the costs of operating a building-sized alien/machine/soul? gestalt.Ritsuko is going to hand her off to you to give her a tour of the facilities, discuss details of combat operations, general expectations of her as a pilot, and boring ticky-tacky operational stuff like her benefits and compensation package, which, come to think of it, Ritsuko isn't sure the budget committee has approved yet, so have fun trying to track that down for her.
I'm glad someone likes Rei.Your head of public relations gives up, slinking out of the room with his tail between his legs, mumbling that Ayanami's the only cooperative one.
On the other side of the city, Nozomi does whatever the opposite of a sneeze is.You're perplexed. What does she mean "let him"? Hikari pushes her fingers together. She reminded Suzuhara that he has a little sister to take care of.
Obvious, but it's nice to confirm the obvious sometimes.Besides, she's still going to live at home and help out there unless it's like, mandatory to live in your apartment as part of the job or something. It's not, right? You shake your head. Hikari looks relieved.
I'd point out that Hikari has two sisters, but on second thought one of them is going to be very happy she's been selected.[ ] Smoothing things over with Hikari's loved ones. You can't imagine her father, sister or boyfriend are very happy she's been selected for this, and you have strong suspicions your pilots, once they're apprised of the situation, aren't going to be happy to know either.
Probably not, but I can't think of anything that would prepare us for that.Training won't do anything if her EVA's taken over and she can't eject.
We usually get about three break weeks between Angel attacks, and this is our second week since Qaspiel. We got four weeks between Dumah and Qaspiel, but let's not assume that's the new Angel rhythm.[X] Hikari's training. She's completely green, and you have no idea when she might need to be deployed.
That's an issue.We usually get about three break weeks between Angel attacks, and this is our second week since Qaspiel. We got four weeks between Dumah and Qaspiel, but let's not assume that's the new Angel rhythm.
I'm pretty sure we can't pick the same thing twice for one pilot. Another round of sync and physical will have to do.That's an issue.
Let's give Asuka a double dose of physiotherapy this coming week.
As they say, "Assumption is the mother of all fuckups".We usually get about three break weeks between Angel attacks, and this is our second week since Qaspiel. We got four weeks between Dumah and Qaspiel, but let's not assume that's the new Angel rhythm.
The same set as last time Synchronization (she has the lowest number of sync tests of all pilots), and Physical (for obvious reasons)I'm pretty sure we can't pick the same thing twice for one pilot. Another round of sync and physical will have to do.
Training is important. Sure. But steel is cheap, lives are irreplacable
And when you enter a live-fire zone, your life is on the line.
Good enough for me, bless your RNG luck
Oh you sweet summer child. Section 2 would need Misato's call to keep you from getting disappeared.What are you going to do about it? Call your unaccountable toadies to disappear her?
She really isn't thinking this through. NERV could frame her absence as her taking a sudden vacation or instead of having her disappeared have her arrested for making criminal threats (which wouldn't even be a lie) or some other trumped up charge. Which all means she's a good sister but not a clever one, NERV could easily cover up her disappearance or take steps to discredit her in the eyes of her sister. She's lucky Misato isn't a bad person because there are so many ways this could have gone wrong for her.odama's AngerYou come home after work one day to Kodama Horaki waiting in the parking lot outside your apartment building. She looks like she's barely holding it together. Her eyes glitter with rage behind her glasses. You get out of the car cautiously. Kodama says how dare you put her sister in harm's way; how dare NERV hide behind children. Her sister is not up to this. She's thirteen! She's supposed to be worrying about entrance exams and that stupid boy she has a crush on, not whether the next day will be her last.
You try to explain that it wasn't up to you in this situation, but Kodama isn't interested in what you have to say. After everything Hikari has done for you and your play-pretend family, this is how you and NERV repay her, huh? Kodama knew she shouldn't have let Hikari get involved with you and the other pilots. She refuses to let her family lose anyone else to your fucking bullshit organization. Kodama balls her fists and says if anything happens to her little sister, if you make her father cry…she knows where you live. You narrow your eyes and ask if that's a threat. Kodama says yeah, it is. What are you going to do about it? Call your unaccountable toadies to disappear her? She's sure that will be a great basis for a working relationship with her little sister. Anyway, you'd better keep Hikari safe. Is Kodama understood?
You decide not to escalate. You're too tired to fight back and you don't think Kodama's going to be receptive to your explanation anyway. You say you'll keep Hikari safe. Kodama says you'd better not be lying. And to stay the fuck away from her and Nozomi. Goodbye. Kodama trudges to a car parked next to your space and drives off.
That could have gone better.
Let's hope it will not try to eat it's pilot this time.NERV's HQ hums with activity as everyone prepares for the imminent arrival of Unit-03.
Ok, why not:Meanwhile, Ritsuko's team spends more time working on the onboard computing intended for Unit-03, as well as tweaking the Dummy Plug System, which you have serious reservations about using, given the demonstration you were treated to last week. It's too dangerous. You're dreading the few days you're going to have to spend working closely with Ritsuko.
Well, I knew it will end this way.You come home after work one day to Kodama Horaki waiting in the parking lot outside your apartment building.
I hate to say this, but she has a point (somewhat).After everything Hikari has done for you and your play-pretend family, this is how you and NERV repay her, huh?
Kodama, we all know you are pissed but you really think you have any chance with Misato in a combat?You narrow your eyes and ask if that's a threat. Kodama says yeah, it is. What are you going to do about it?
Ok, why not:
* Use Dummy Plug for activation, if this is only a matter of moving Eva, it's craziness will not be a problem
* Use Dummy Plug instead Hikari during operations until she is properly trained
Ritsuko claims that she has kill-switch working, so the risk should be reduced
Unlike Ritsuko Kodama doesn't, and can't, know better and we explicitly chose not to work to smooth things over with Hikari's family.I don't like what Kodama did, it's completely unfair to Misato. Hikari got herself into it on her own will, which made Misato's life harder. Misato also didn't go smoothing things over because she prioritized keeping Hikari safe by training her to survive. And now that bitch comes over to threaten the guardian of 3 EVA pilots? Like Misato doesn't have enough on her plate as is.
Making her disappear is too much at this point, but reporting this to NERV security is a must I believe. Maybe the black suites would tactfully remind Kodama that she has another sister, and NERV knows where she lives. Still better than Misato having to shoot her in self-defense, maybe in front of all the kids.
I understand why she's angry, just don't find this behavior acceptable. Like when Misato punched Ritsuko.Unlike Ritsuko Kodama doesn't, and can't, know better and we explicitly chose not to work to smooth things over with Hikari's family.
