"You noticed the fluctuations in the Magi?" leans over a cluttered console, tension in her brow.
wait I think the right word is N2
raises an eyebrow, slightly impressed N2? No, that's not correct. But it's close. The answer is Neon.
"Yes, Neon." nods, her gaze fixed on the screen. It's the 14th element on the periodic table.
how do u pronounce it? ne-ohn or ne-on?
"Neon..." pauses for a moment, looking at Liam with a small smirk...it's Ne-on. Like the city in Japan.
Oh sorry i thought u meant Neon in the sense of N3on
sighs softly I see. So you were thinking of the material used in signage and lighting, rather than the chemical element. Yes, N3on would make more sense in that context. Thank you for clarifying that, Liam.
I look at the code Liam was trying to type in “holy shit..” I say quietly
glances at the code, her brows furrowing in concentration What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the code?
no.. it’s actually really good work done by your mother naoko akagi
pauses, a fleeting expression of sadness passing across her face before she masks it with a stoic expression Ah, yes. My mother did some incredible work on the Magi system. But that was a long time ago, Liam.
Yeah im currently studying eva’s and this thing is crazy. i can see why Shinji is acting the way he does. This EVA doesn’t look ready at all!
nods slowly, her eyes focused on the screen Yes, Shinji can be quite difficult to understand at times. His way of thinking is often detached from reality. And yes, the EVA still needs a lot of work. We're far from being ready.
Uhm… you may want to sit down for this…. I point at the computer screen as Ritsuko’s Father shows up on the screen in the video feed HELL?!
<As Ritsuko watches the video feed, she sees her father standing before her, alive and well, after she thought he had died years ago.>
Holy shit Ritsuko… your fathers here..
grabs Liam's arm tightly What? How is that possible? I... I thought he was dead!
me too, but here he is. Do we wake him up?
takes a deep breath, her voice steady yet tinged with excitement Wake him up? No, not yet. Let's try to communicate with him first. Maybe we can get some answers.
Alright, should I start typing what he says?
nods quickly Yes, go ahead. Start typing. We need to figure out what's going on. And be as precise as possible, Liam.
Okay. I type as Ritsuko’s father speaks “Ritsuko…” he looks into the screen, his voice a bit distorted
gazes at her father's image on the screen, her voice trembling slightly Yes, father? What is it? Why are you here?
Here’s what he said “heavens gate needs all 8 Eva’s to activate, but im not dead.”
furrows her brows, trying to process the information Are you saying... You're not dead? But... I thought you died years ago. What happened?
That’s what im asking… i rub my temples ok let me just, write this down….I start typing on the keyboard rapidly “Shinji needs to finish building Aerials Daughters.”
taps her fingers impatiently on the desk Finish building Aerials Daughters? That doesn't make any sense. What does Shinji have to do with this? And why are you calling them "Aerials"?
Well… your father he clears his throat before typing again he calls Shinji “little prodigy”. He also calls the eves “Daughters”. It makes me think hes been watching for awhile…
narrows her eyes, suspicion evident in her gaze Watching... That explains a lot. So he's been monitoring our progress this whole time?
