AOBA:
We're detecting a high energy reaction from inside the target!

MISATO:
What?!

AOBA (OFF):
The circumference area is accelerating!
It's converging!

RITSUKO:
It can't be!

MISATO:
No, dodge it!

MISATO:
Retrieve him, hurry!

AOBA:
The target has gone silent!

MISATO:
How's Shinji?

HYUGA:
He's alive!

IBUKI (OFF - SPEAKERS): 
Unit 01 has been recovered.
En route to the 7th cage.

MISATO:
I'm going to the cage.
Take over for me, please!

IBUKI (OFF - SPEAKERS):
Unit 01 secured!

STAFF (OFF):
Hurry with the cooling!

HYUGA (OFF):
The pilot's brain waves are erratic!
His pulse is very weak.

RITSUKO:
Increase life support to maximum power.
Give him a heart massage.

HYUGA:
Yes, Ma'am!
Pulse confirmed!

RITSUKO:
Force eject the entry plug! Hurry!

RITSUKO:
Emergency LCL discharge!

IBUKI:
Yes, Ma'am!

MISATO:
Come on, open the hatch! Hurry!

MISATO:
Shinji!

1/1 scale Balloon Dummy

AOBA (OFF):
The enemy's particle beam cannon has hit!
The dummy has been vaporized!

MISATO:
Next.

TEXT:
Automated Model 12 Self-Propelled Mortar

AOBA (OFF):
The Model 12 Self-Propelled Mortar has been destroyed!

MISATO:
I see.

*****

OPERATIONS STAFF A (OFF):
From the data we've collected, we're assuming that the target
automatically attacks any opponent within a certain range.

TEXT: 
Department of Operations, Nerv Headquarters
Analysis Room 2

HYUGA:
The likelihood of it hitting anything entering
the area with its particle beam is 100%.
It's too risky for close range combat in an Eva, isn't it?

MISATO:
What about its AT field?

TEXT:
Replay Image

OPERATIONS STAFF B (OFF):
It's still active. It's strong enough that the spatial changes
in phase are visible to the naked eye.

HYUGA:
Using half-measures like guided missiles, artillery, or bombs
will inflict more damage on us than on the Angel!

MISATO:
Offensively and defensively it's almost perfect. A flying fortress.
What's the status on its drill?

OPERATIONS STAFF C (OFF):
At this moment the target is directly above us, 
penetrating the New Tokyo-3 Null Zone.
A giant shielded drill with a diameter of 17.5 meters 
is boring towards Nerv HQ.

HYUGA:
The enemy is planning to attack Nerv Headquarters directly.

MISATO:
Sassy bastard!
So, what's its ETA?

TEXT:
Japan Standard Time
Remaining Estimated Time
 
OPERATIONS STAFF C (OFF):
12:06:54 AM.

TEXT:
Approximated graphics

OPERATIONS STAFF C (OFF):
By that time, it will have breached all twenty-two levels of armor,
and arrive at Nerv Headquarters itself.

MISATO (MONO):
Less than ten hours...

TEXT:
Present Time

AOBA (OFF):
The drill has contacted the first armor plate.

MISATO:
What's the condition of Unit 01?

TEXT:
Cage 7, Nerv Headquarters

RITSUKO:
The defensive armor was melted down to the third layer.
The silver lining is that the central control unit sustained no damage.

IBUKI:
Three more seconds, and it would have been over.

WORKER (OFF - SPEAKER):
In three hours, the replacement parts should be installed.

MISATO:
Roger. What's the status of Unit 00?

IBUKI:
Re-activation itself should prove no problem, 
but there's still a feedback error.

RITSUKO:
So actual combat...

MISATO:
...is still impossible.
What's the condition of Unit 01's pilot?

TEXT:
Emergency Room, Central Hospital,
Nerv Headquarters

HYUGA (OFF):
No physical damage. However, his nerve pulses are up by 0.8.
Still within acceptable limits.

AOBA (OFF):
Enemy drill arrival: 9 hours, 55 minutes.

MISATO:
The situation certainly isn't favorable.

HYUGA:
Shall we just raise a white flag?

MISATO:
Before we resort to that, there's one little thing I'd like to try.

*****

FUYUTSUKI (OFF):
You want a sniper to shoot the target from outside its firing zone?

TEXT:
Nerv Commander's Office

MISATO:
Yes, sir. Instead of trying to neutralize the target's AT field,
I believe a pinpoint shot with a high-energy beam is the only way.

FUYUTSUKI:
What do the Magi say?

MISATO:
The responses from the Magi Super Computers were 
two affirmative and one conditional affirmative.

FUYUTSUKI:
So, our probability of success is 8.7 percent.

MISATO:
It's quite a high percentage.

IKARI:
I see no reason to raise an objection. You may proceed, Captain Katsuragi.

MISATO:
Yes, sir.

*****

RITSUKO:
But you sure have come up with a reckless plan, 
Operations Director Katsuragi.

MISATO:
Don't be rude. It's not reckless! It can be executed 
within the nine hours we have left,and has the highest chance of success.

RITSUKO:
This thing does? Really?

TEXT:
Eva Positron Rifle
(Prototype 20 with Toroidal Accelerator)

RITSUKO:
But our positron rifle can't handle such a high output.
What are you going to do about that?

MISATO:
We'll borrow one, of course.

RITSUKO: 
Borrow one? You don't mean...

MISATO:
Right! The strategic SDF Lab's prototype!

Requisition Order

MISATO:
Nerv is hereby requisitioning this Self Propelled Positron Cannon 
as of 15:00 today.

SOLDIER:
But still, this is ridiculous!

TEXT:
Special Units Hangar 4

MISATO:
We'll try to return this in as close to its original condition as we can.
We appreciate your cooperation!
Okay, Rei! Take it away!
That's a piece of precision machinery, so be careful!

HYUGA:
Even so, our calculations show that it will take at least 
180 million kilowatts to penetrate that AT field. 
Where are you going to get that much electricity?

MISATO:
Where else? From all of Japan!

On the honor of Technology Development Department 3, 
we'll have it built for you in three hours.

MISATO:
What about our defensive measures?

TEXT:
Hangar 8, Nerv Headquarters

RITSUKO:
Well, using a shield is about all we can do.

TEXT:
Eva Anti-Heat and Light Wave Defensive Equipment (Makeshift Specs)

IBUKI (OFF):
So, this is the shield?

RITSUKO:
Yes. It's a hand-me-down from a single stage to orbit rocket.
It may look ugly, but it's got a super-electromagnetic base coating 
that section 2 guarantees will stand up to the enemy's particle beam 
for at least seventeen seconds.

MISATO:
Good. Have you determined the sniper position?

HYUGA (OFF):
Given the range to the target, geographical features, 
and taking power access into consideration, this would be the spot.

MISATO:
Definitely looks good.
The sniping position will be atop Mt. Futago!
The operation will commence at 00:00 tomorrow morning!
From this point on, this operation will be called "Operation Yashima".

HYUGA (OFF):
Roger.

MISATO (MONO):
Now, the only remaining problem is the pilot.

OPERATOR (MALE) (OFF):
Unit 01's designated pilot is conscious now.
His examination results look normal.

MISATO:
Good. Then, the operation will proceed as planned.

OPERATOR (MALE) (OFF):
Roger.

RITSUKO:
But I wonder if he'll pilot it again.

MISATO:
Get ready for a decisive battle at Mt. Futago!

SHINJI:
Ayanami...

REI:
I'm here to brief you on the timetable of Operation Yashima, 
which will begin tomorrow at 00:00 hours.
Pilots Ikari and Ayanami will arrive at the cage at 17:30 today.
At 18:00, Units 01 and 00 will activate. Launch is at 18:05.
They will arrive at the temporary base on Mt. Futago at 18:30.
There, they will stand by and await further orders.
The operation will begin promptly at midnight.

REI:
Here's a new one.

REI:
Don't show up half-asleep looking like that.

SHINJI:
Sorry.

SHINJI:
All I've been doing since yesterday is apologizing.

REI:
Your meal.

SHINJI:
I don't want to eat anything.

REI:
We'll be departing in sixty minutes.

SHINJI:
Do I have to pilot that thing again?

REI:
Yes, you do.

SHINJI:
I don't want to. Maybe you can be so cool about it, 
because you haven't had the kind of experiences I've had yet.
I don't want to go through that again.

REI:
Then why don't you stay in bed?

SHINJI:
Stay in bed?

REI:
I'll pilot Unit 01.
Dr. Akagi is already prepared to rewrite Unit 01's personal data files.

SHINJI:
Miss Ritsuko is...

REI:
I'm leaving. Captain Katsuragi and Dr. Akagi will be waiting at the cage. 
Goodbye.

It will reach headquarters in 3 hours 55 minutes.

STAFF (OFF):
No problem with the hub synchronization system.

HYUGA (OFF):
Power supply transfer from Shikoku and Kyushu is completed.

WOMAN (OFF):
Begin tests of each cooling system.

RITSUKO:
This is a piece of precision machinery, so handle it carefully.

TEXT:
Eva Positron sniper Rifle
(Nerv Specs - Formerly Strategic SDF Lab's Automated Positron Rifle)

SHINJI (OFF):
This thing wasn't built for field operations. Will it really work?

RITSUKO (OFF):
There's no choice. This is a makeshift solution.

SHINJI (OFF):
So it'll be okay?

RITSUKO (OFF):
Theoretically, yes. However, we won't know if the cannon barrel 
and accelerator will hold until we try firing it. 
This is the first time it's been fired with such a high power output.

MISATO:
Here are your individual duties for the operation.
Shinji...

SHINJI:
Yes, Ma'am.

MISATO:
Your Unit 01 will be the gunner.

SHINJI:
Yes, Ma'am.

MISATO:
Rei, you're in charge of defense with Unit 00.

REI:
Yes, Ma'am.

RITSUKO:
This is because Shinji has a higher sync ratio with Unit 01, 
and this operation will require exceptional precision. 
Since the positron beam will be influenced by the Earth's gravity, 
magnetic fields and rotation, it will not fire in a straight line. 
You must remember to make adjustments for these deviations.
You must penetrate the core precisely.

SHINJI:
But I've never practiced this!

RITSUKO (OFF):
Don't worry. Just do what the manual says.
When the indicators converge in the center, pull the trigger. 
The computers will handle the rest.
Also, once you fire it, it will take time before you can fire again 
for cooling, reloading,and replacement of the fuses.

SHINJI:
Then, if I miss and the enemy shoots back...

RITSUKO:
Don't think about unnecessary things right now. 
Just think about destroying it in one shot.

SHINJI:
So it's crisis time.

REI:
I...
I just need to defend Unit 01, correct?

RITSUKO (OFF):
That's right.

REI:
Understood.

MISATO (OFF):
It's time. Both of you, get changed.

SHINJI & REI (OFF):
Yes, Ma'am.

*****

SHINJI:
We might die doing this.

REI:
Why do you say that?
You won't die.
Because I'll protect you.

TEXT:
...a large-scale power outage all across...

SHINJI:
Why do you pilot this thing?

REI:
Because I'm bound.

SHINJI:
Bound?

REI:
Yes, it's a bond.

SHINJI:
With my father?

REI:
With all people.

SHINJI:
You're very strong, Ayanami.

REI:
Because I have nothing else.

SHINJI:
What do you mean, "you have nothing else"?

REI:
It's time. Let's go.

REI:
Goodbye.
