I think we have a bigger problem

     "Come on, it's this way!" Kensuke urged them forward, carelessly
crashing through the brush.
     Shinji looked at Toji who shrugged, both headed after their friend.
     Rei trailed a short distance behind, marking their location, and the
location of the camp investigating the Fourth Angel, Shamshiel.  She
suspected she would have to lead them back, after their enthusiasm made
them lose their sense of direction.  As she walked through the path already
traveled by Kensuke, Toji and Shinji, she revised her estimate.  The path
was clear indication in which direction they have traveled.
     "It must have got shot down during the fight!" Kensuke told them as he
led them through the undergrowth to the clearing.
     Rei saw the clearing had been made by the craft, during its rather
poor landing.  A trench dozens of meters long had been slashed in the
trees, earth and stone.  Rei wondered idly if the Commander already knew
about this craft, and was awaiting for the furor to die down to recover it,
or if it had evaded detection during the fight.
     The craft itself seemly little hurt by the rough landing.  It was
medium gray, it most reminded Rei of an overturned bowl or watch glass.  As
she walked to where the three boys were standing and staring, she saw the
two deep cuts in the fuselage.  About a third of the way in from the
wingtips, a huge cannon rested in each of the cut outs.
     ~Such a weapon would serve as an adequate weapon for the EVAs,~ Rei
thought, ~Was this a test of a new weapon to be used against the Angels?~ 
Rei had no answers.
     The other major feature was the cockpit.  It had been torn open,
whatever windscreen had once existed was gone.
     "Have you gone in?" Toji asked Kensuke.
     "There might be dead bodies in there!" Kensuke replied, "Since
Shinji's with the military, maybe he'd know what to do with it."
     Shinji merely stared at the craft.  Rei understood his confusion, she
didn't recognize the concentric pentagon insignia on the wings.  The only
concentric pentagon she knew of was the headquarters of the United States
military.  That building was now under several hundred feet of water.  The
United State military had never used it as part of their insignia.
     "Then it'd be like a shrine you know?" Kensuke said the others.
     Rei could smell no blood or decay.  She stepped over the pile of
debris the craft had pushed up and walked inside.
     "Ayanami!" Shinji called, but didn't follow her inside the craft.
     The high ceilings indicated it had been build with people far taller
than she was in mind.  At the front were control consoles, she guessed two
of them, they were so badly damaged it was impossible to tell.  A third
console lay in back of the others, it appeared mostly undamaged.
     Then she saw the boots, metallic gold and black.  She had never seen
military footgear like that.  She carefully walked forward.  The heavy,
gold and black suit looked like some type of environment suit.
     Now she could hear a faint, rhythmic whine.  The helmet was like
nothing she'd ever seen before.  Vaguely skull-like with the tight set
louvers where the nose and mouth would be.  Gold and mirror polished, like
the rest of the uniform, but it completely covered the head, except for the
black slash at the eyes.
     ~Not entirely black!~ Rei jumped back as the red laser-like flash from
the eye slit moved back and forth.
     The person in the uniform moved slightly.  The red flash slowed, fixed
on her.  She saw herself reflected in the golden helmet.  Her two red eyes
staring back into the single one.
     The voice was oddly distorted, but clear enough, "By - your - command,
Imperious Leader."
