Uh, boy...

Okay, this is a trailer for a Evangelion story idea that's been 
rattling around in my head for the past two weeks.  C&C are appreciated 
(I'm also sending this to the EVA ML, so I would like some C&C form 
them as well)  

Standard disclaimer about Evangelion being a trademark of Gainax goes 
here (please, please don't sue me)

Earth-2018

   From space, the planet Earth looked the same as it did for countless 
centuries...if one didn't count the fact that it was tilted more on 
its axis, had less land area, and a large red spot where Antartica used 
to be--a result of the Second Impact.  A small spacecraft heads toward 
the planet.....

Tokyo # 3--NERV HQ

   "Lieutenant?  I think you better have a look at this."  A radar 
supervisor with LT bars leans over a radar display station.  
"What is it?"  
"Unknown, sir.  Whatever it is, it doesn't match any known Earth 
ship indentification profile."  
"Are you saying its an Angel?"
"Sir, the computers can't identify it as an Angel either."
"Damn, a complete unknown."  He looks over to another tech at a 
communications station.
"Go to Stage Two alert now!  And alert Captain Katsuragi right away..."

Earth orbit

  The spacecraft began to slow to orbital speed.  As it did, a small pod 
broke away from the craft, and began its own fall to Earth.....

NERV HQ
   "Captain Katsuragi!  The unknown has made orbit at 20 miles above 
the Equator.  A small pod has broken away form the main ship and is on 
an entry trajectory."

   "Course and projected landing point?"
 
     The computers calculate the pod's course....

   "Ma'am, if the pod does not break apart on atmospheric entry, it 
willimpact in Tokyo #3 in 5 hours."

   "Declare First Stage alert now!  Activate the EVA units for possible 
combat!"

  10 miles above the Equator....

   The entry pod begins to heat up as it hits the outer fringes of the 
atmosphere, it's landing site already determined by the parent ship 
orbiting above.  The pod, and it's cargo, dives further down into the 
atmosphere...to a meeting with destiny...

Who's in the pod?
Why was the ship sent?
Who sent the ship?
What "destiny" lies ahead for NERV and the EVA pilots?
What old friend will return? (Baited question, I know...)

Knight Productions (no relation to SkyKnight Productions, its just my 
school's mascot..) present, 

                           VOYAGE OF THE ODYSSEY
                                         A story of:
                         NEON GENESIS EVANGELION

Author's Notes:

Like I said, that idea has been rattling about in my head for the past 
two months or so.  Kudos to the person (I suspect there are a lot who 
will) who figures out the answer to the "baited question"
Why an entry pod and not a UFO shuttle
A> Earth tends to be a little trigger happy unknown ships heading 
toward a city.
B>It's more dramatic that way.

I just have a few questions (mostly to the EVA list, but anyone can 
resopond):

How many Rei clones (live and in vitro) were there in the series? I'm not counting the 
movie, and I've only seen up to episode 8 (thank you SO much AD Vision, 
grumble, grumble...)

Is it possible to steal one of the in-vitro clones?

Are the Children physic?

Would it be >stretching< the plot *just* a bit to include a race 
of...er...humans/aliens more advanced that the Angels and who have a 
base in the solar system?

How advanced is human tech in relation to space travel in the series?

That's all for now.  Please send me C&C (flames will be ignored execpt 
for really good arguements)
