It's Robby?
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 71436
|
Dr. Ritsuko Akagi NERV-02, the entire facility and it’s people vanished into thin air. Nobody back home knows for sure exactly what happened. Possibilities are many. It may have been a disastrous failed activation of an experimental S2 organ meant to give our EVA units access to all the energy it would ever need. It might have been mis-installed into the test unit. It may have been due to some kind of flaw in it's construction. Or perhaps deliberate sabotage… . . . Back only a short time ago (strange . . .it was back when I had been Gendo's little sex toy . . .and human . . .seems like a lifetime ago), I remember giving all those possiblities during a briefing on that disaster. The only clear thing was that the event had happened right around the time the scheduled activation of Unit 03 (with that experimental S2 organ). And now due to yet another strange twist of fate (all thanks to this damnable Chaos energy), we may have a chance for finally discovering just what in the world happened! "How did that get there?!" Dr. Morbius blurts out, totally flummoxed at the sudden appearance of miles and miles of North America's New Mexican desert practically in his own back yard. Indeed, there is a marked demarkation from where the native forest ended and the transplanted desert began. For some reason, he directs that question at the G-man instead of Rei. Maybe he thinks that the man is the actual leader of our group and Rei's just the spokesperson? Like he feels that since the G-man is the oldest man present that naturally he should be in charge? Another 1950's relic in scifi in the works here? Or is it just that he's familiar with Japanese (old Japanese) customs and as such is making natural (wrong) assumptions? Do know that a few time he made some interesting slips there, thinking that Rei's name was her family name and such. I remember something about that in the history courses I had to take in college, but honestly I could not have been bothered back then. Had my eyes more towards the sciences and more concrete subjects. Shame now that I think of it. Kind of miss some of the old Japanese customs, a piece of the past lost. But it had been fading even before I had begun, accelerating after Second Impact: especially naming conventions. Sad, but with what the world having to pull closer together to share dwindling resources assimilating other customs and such (like Western culture) is a given. I am happy to say that it wasn't all one way. A lot of English people have been having to learn Japanese, what with my nations... Nevermind. Going on a tangent there. Sad that some of things faded away and happy that some of Japanese culture has . . . blended and spread... But as for the other things that have just shown up... Let us not mention that blast of massively hot wind that blasted us with it's arrival here! New Mexico (well, my world's New Mexico) was all the more blistering hot with weather disruptions due to Third Impact. Oh, and why else besides the desert and the heated winds would I know that this was at least some NERV-02 from somewhere (and when) else? Well, there is this ODD feeling I have that it is (a . . .feeling I cannot discribe to a non-elf) that says that it is. That and the sign over there that warns about not tresspassing. Saying that in effect that tressapassers who venture into the Groom Lake area (NERV-02 is located in that infamous Area 51 paranoids always chatter about) shall be "disappeared". "It is related to the reason just why we are using that ancient interstellar transporation system I spoke of," Rei says, a trace of annoyance in her voice, drawing back Morbius' attention to herself. "She's the party leader," the G-man coughs blandly, seeing the questioning look in the older man's eyes. "Stop trying to come to me for answers for they shall come from her and only her." "Thank you," Rei says, nodding slightly towards the G-man in thanks. Then turning back to Morbius: "No offense, sir, but as a courtesy the party leader--me in other words--has been speaking with you all along and not through an intermediary. Anything less would have been . . . impolite, neh?" Dr. Morbius nods slightly, if a bit out of sorts (but only a little), with the idea that this young seeming woman would be the party leader. He was MUCH more used to the idea of a man being in charge, but quickly reflecting upon it . . . he had to chide himself for such obtuse thinking. Honestly, it's not written in stone that a man should always lead. It is not writen in stone at all, that! But before much more can be sorted out, some things come about and make themselves known. First, while that spaceship that Morbius was complaining about had not been caught in the effected area where NERV-02(s) had landed (more than one shall make their presence known . . .multiple realities in play again as a hint) they will immediately notice the change. See, amongst other things in the areas around NERV-02 there were the support facilities . . .including various "rock and roll" music stations. The radioman blinks as he is treated to various lewd lyrics (of those like "Californication" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers). Then of course there is navigator, who's freaking out. He just had a look at the starcharts and . . .somethings not right. More of that in a bit. But the funniest thing here probably will be the meeting between Rei's group and Morbius' mechanical servant who (along with his guests) have come looking for Morbius finding the house locked up and all. While perhaps not totally conversant with 1950's scifi movies, they do recognize a staple character from that time and place. |
