                                by Ken Arromdee

    Amnong all the little frustrations of being an Eva pilot and working
for
Gendo, Shinji was concerned with one particular one.  Ayanami Rei.

one:

good place for a colon


    It seemed useless.  The whole idea of really having emotions was
something
foreign to her.  Something bad must have happened to Rei that she wouldn't
or
couldn't talk about, and he had absolutely no idea what.

shinji: It's because I groped her chest that one time! I mentally
traumatized her for life. I'd scream, but that would imply I wasn't
spinelss. :(


                                *   *   *   *   *

    "I must admit I hadn't expected you to come to me for something like
this",
said Gendo.

Gendo: Luckily, I know about a lot sex.

Shinji: I was talking about Rei.

Gendo: Believe me, boy, if you want to get her to open up, and she's
anything like your mother, sex is the only thing that will open someone as
frigid as her up.


    "Are you really going to tell me?" wondered Shinji.

    "I'm going to show you" replied his father.  "Do you really want to
see
it?"  The boy nodded in response.  "Very well, Shinji.  Then follow me."

    Gendo led Shinji down a maze of NERV corridors, passing through
several
high security sections full of uniformed personnel and bizarrely-named
rooms
the like

likes (I think)

 of which he'd never seen before.  One security guard tried to stop
them, but Gendo warned him away with a curt glance.

The guard warned Gendou away  with a baton to the head.

Gendou: Good man. I'll have to have him shot tomorrow.


    "You mean that Rei dies, and she gets another body?  How does that
explain...?"

    "You see, Shinji, whenever Rei gets a new body, there's only so much
she
can remember.  Her essence carries over, but not all of her emotional
development.  I told you that the body is just a spare part for the soul.
Well, sometimes a spare part doesn't fit so well.  In fact it would be bad
if
it fit too well.  In order to pilot an Eva, you have to have emotional
problems.

Shinji: I have emotional problems?

Gendou: You have no idea.

    "For a pilot to be an, as you call it, emotional basket case

think you should place single quotes around 'emotional basket case'

is the only
way we can finish the project.  Before those madmen at SEELE use it to..."

Gendou: Not free my wife. Which is, after all, the only thing that matters.


    The contents of the second tank, suddenly illuminated, left Shinji
horrorstruck.  This one wasn't full of Reis, it was full of male bodies...
looking just like Shinji himself.  One of them opened its eyes and stared
at
him blankly.

Ah, so they cloned Kenou Reeves body for Shinji. Cool.

My, how grim. Neat little idea, though.
