# Neo genezis evangelion 1-6. chapter 15

Getting ready for school and greeting Rey.

Chapter 15. Everyday life of the operations department.

I got up today even before the God-defying mechanism, colloquially called an alarm clock, deigned to wake me up, and then everything went as usual.

The first step is to fold, or rather, to scoop up the bed and put it in the closet. I was too lazy to fold it neatly, so I just grabbed everything, crumpled it up and stuffed it in one big pile - I had to make the bed again in the evening anyway, so why bother?

He chuckled slightly, looking at his computer.

...Already when I went to bed, I had a rather interesting idea about at least some way to determine whether someone was rummaging through it without me or not. The idea, in principle, was extremely stupid and primitive - I disconnected the mouse cable, put my own pulled-out hair into its plug and carefully placed it next to it, as if I had accidentally pulled it out of the port. Now the main thing is not to get lost yourself and not forget about all this espionage nonsense...

...Go to the bathroom, brush your teeth, wash your face. So, what's going on on my forehead under the Band-Aid? Which, by the way, has already worn out quite a bit and is starting to fall off... Fuck it, fuck him! Let every little thing heal better naturally, in the air! Hm...

He stared thoughtfully at the neat diamond-shaped wound, covered with dried blood and already healing a little. Where did I get this from- after the fight with the A Object, right? Figase... So much for forty percent synchronization, so much for complete unity with biomechanical armor... And if my Unit-01 gets its arm or head blown off, won't I bend over from the pain shock? That's an infection... And why was Asuka chasing after the indicators like that? "Let's catch up and overtake - we're the best!.." That's Khrushchev the cornhusker to me...

...He pulled on his now-familiar uniform, holstered his Glock, put on his watch, put his wallet in the inner pockets of his tunic, and the last (damn!) the remaining apple. I put the mobile phone I bought yesterday in my shirt pocket (it's pretty average in function, but it's considered one of the best here), a small MP3 player, and went to the kitchen.

So, to clear my conscience, look into Misato's room.

Yeah, that's what I thought from the very beginning - my brave commander was called again at a little light. No wonder she likes to sleep and hang out at home so much... Okay, let's make ourselves a morning coffee, have a drink, and go to school.

Stop.

I slapped my forehead with my hand... and he hissed in pain, hitting the wound.

Ray lives next door to me now! And I promised to pick her up today to go to school together! Together... Together? Holy shit, there's going to be a lot of gossip!!! Not only did I see her off after school yesterday, but now I accompany her to school, and if they find out that she lives two steps away from me... Oh, brothers, this is some kind of kaput...

Well, well, calm down. It's all bullshit- don't I give a damn what everyone is saying? Have I set goals and objectives for myself? I put it down. So please do them, Comrade Ikari-Severov!

By the way, about tasks and specific methods.

Since we now have Pilot Ayanami in a stable range, then this success needs to be developed - so to speak, to go on the offensive. Because, you know, I've already had two meetings with her, and the result of establishing personal contacts is practically zero. So. We'll have to try to talk to her again when we go to school, but this time we'll be more affluent - it would be nice to find some common ground with Ray, or something... But on what grounds? She has no interests, no hobbies, nothing, and I'm good too-all she has in her head is a history of gun mania...

Come on!..

But let's look at Ayanami from the other side - discipline, diligence, fanatical devotion to the commander in the person of the Commander, unquestioning obedience to orders, contempt for his own life... Hmm, and Rey turns out to be not only the perfect girl-the dream of most guys, but also almost the perfect soldier. We could have tipped it in the number of a couple of battalions, trained it in marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat, and put it on guard NERV, and what kind of freaks would have broken through.

It's a pity that this is impossible - despite the abundance of spare bodies, the First One has only one soul...

So, I got distracted. Where did I start there? Points of contact, the perfect soldier... Oh, right! We'll need to find out Rey's combat training level anyway, otherwise she probably won't be able to recover in time for the next Object A, but we'll have to take down the shooting and digging cubes together. So, once again, to make a note in my memory - to recall everything that I know about my future enemies, their weaknesses, weapons, how they were destroyed...

So, Victor, you've hesitated! Stop spreading your thoughts along the tree - please think straight, without jerking to the sides. Do we still have time? There is... So, we put everything on the shelves.

Ayanami Rei.

The level of combat training is unknown, but given the general disregard of our highly respected command, this value is most likely close to zero. How can me fix this, given that the First one will have to participate in battles, even if it is in the secondary roles? Grab it from Ritsuko and drag it to all the training and tactical classes? What? Is she listed in the science department? I don't give a damn! Akagi is Misato's girlfriend, so let her help to increase the defense capability of Tokyo-3...

Well, what could be better than the first pre-production combat Evangelion? That's right, only the second number is in the form of an ultra-reliable slave prototype. We will only need to find out more precise performance characteristics of our robots...

Okay, stop again. What did I say about the wingman? Slave, slave... Hmm, but that's a thought!

So, who's Ray? That's right, it's almost a blank sheet - do whatever you want from it (within reasonable limits). Well, why not make a great partner out of her, just in case? Let him cover me from afar with a sniper rifle or a grenade launcher, but what? It seems like a good option... So what does that mean? So we're going to imbue her with a passion for guns-I need a second maniac like me...

I rubbed my hands together cunningly and smiled wryly.

The aim of the pilots is not to form a school interest group, but a full-fledged, albeit semi-childish, combat unit. How much time do I have at the maximum - about a year? It's fine! After that time (if all my plans come true), I personally will have a real team of fighters who will no longer be afraid of any serial made by SEELE Evangelicals and Japanese soldiers... There, in the War (and that's what I call only one war, the Great Patriotic War), if necessary, and teenagers fought, and what's worse for us? An unreal fantasy world? It makes sense...

Unless you live in it. When the line between fiction and reality begins to blur... I've only been here for a few days, and I'm already having doubts - wasn't THAT world just an invention?.. So our goal is worthy, our opponents are strong and treacherous, our allies are somewhat unbalanced, which means we need to fight seriously. And finally: "Our cause is just! The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!!!"

...An alluring picture involuntarily flashed before my eyes. I'm sitting at a table in a general's uniform, and Misato is standing in front of me and counting down the results of the destruction of the underground ZIELE shipyards in South America, and the situation on the Second Texas Front... Commander Ikari... And what? Subordinates won't even need to remember a new name...

So, Viktor Severov, aka Shinji Ikari, leave the Napoleonic plans and start fulfilling current tasks! If you want to do great things, start small, with what you can do!..

...It was with this thought in mind that I left the house on the landing, and headed for Ray's apartment.

"Hello, Ray!" I greeted the First One cheerfully when she opened the door for me.

"Hi," Ayanami greeted briefly, already fully assembled, with a briefcase in her hands.

"Call me Shinji, please", I asked her. "Good?"

"Yes."

"Then let's try to understand how well you understood it", I suggested vigorously.

I've been feeling a little more active since morning, although it usually doesn't sound like me -I'm more of an owl than a real Shinji, and I get back to normal sometime in the late afternoon.

"Let's imagine that we see each other for the first time today and say hello again, but now call me by my first name. Ok?"

"Okay," Ray nodded. There was something like interest in her gaze.

"Hello, Ray!"

"Hi, Shinji," Ayanami said clearly.

"Well done!" I smiled. "Well, then let's go to school, or something..."

"Are you ready?" That's great.

We continue to complete the current task - the Snow Maiden object has been transferred to further development...
