Sikozu Third Impact. Instrumentality. A wondrous gilded pathway to the chopping block. Oh, it gave me a sister and a loved sister at THAT. A young, lonely . . LONELY woman who needed someone, ANYONE to love. How could I NOT step up and . . . .But... . . . I don’t remember much. Just left with a . . .working knowledge about what humanity (at least that version of it) was. It’s hopes. Dreams. Leaned much, vague memories or not. These people had SO much potential but . . .All cast into the dust due the machinations of a bunch of madmen who’d dare try for godhood. Ah, it promised you Heaven and seduced you with your fondest dreams. Distracting you from the knife that was to be plunged into your very soul to extinguish . . . Pray to whatever gods you believe in that you NEVER know what I felt and thought after all of that. Once I came back. Back.... After vomiting up my last meal when I finally came back to myself (DAMNIT I didn’t want to ever experience something like that again) I . . .landed. After I cleaned myself off and put my clothing back on (returned from that LCL puddle I’d been converted into naked if you must know). That and waking up next to someone very familiar, despite her having been “reborn” along Kalish lines! That one ethereal “harvester” Rei . . . Oh, I see. You don’t know how it worked with Instrumentality, Third Impact, and all that business. Can see it in your eyes. Fine. Pardon me for being a poor host/storyteller here and let me address that. Pardon. I could frankly bore you with a lecture about it all but frankly . . .I do not feel like doing that. First it would frankly be too . . .dense in academia for one for easy consumption (I can admit to that, that tendency). That and as stated earlier . . .it would bring back too many painful memories. Instead, let this (thank YOU Wikipedia!) suffice for MOST of any of the questions you may have: http://en.wiki pedia.org /wiki/Neon_ Genesis_ Evang elion_%2 8TV_series %29 “Knock yourself out” is what the human phrase would be covered under for that for the most part. I . . .don’t want to talk about it with you or anyone else except the main ‘part’ which this “harvester” came from. Strange though to have found that article online on that one particular Earth I visited during my travels afterwards. Have to agree with that show’s creator about it: “It's strange that 'Evangelion' has become such a hit - all the characters are so sick!” At least my sister’s gotten better and . . Ah, let us get down to it here. When Rei Ayanami ascended to that godlike state and began to gather into herself all the souls of everyone and every thing--yes, there were some non-human sentients by this time on that Earth through various means so of COURSE that’s why I got swept up into it, despite my “alien” origins)--she sent out of her self countless number of copies of herself. Copies who’d been tasked to gather up and collect--harvest--every last soul on that world and bring them to her after the “instrumentalization” process was complete and the soul thus made suitable for assimilation. Except with me this particular “harvester” did come and we did “instrumentalize” together . . .but instead of what she’d been expecting it was much different. Went disastrously wrong for her in that instead of me being processed the right way she got sucked into it along with me and . . .changed. Transformed into something and someone no longer able to interface and reintegrate back into the “Lilith” collective. Someone who had initially been so very FRANTIC to rejoin with Lilith had calmed down quiet a bit (and eventually be VERY thankful) to not have rejoined. To have been separated from the whole. Hrmph, and it seems almost INSULTING in a way that Lilith here does not remember in ALL of her past lifetimes having me in Instrumentality. Then again, I guess that follows logic. I mean Eva (that’s what the “harvester” eventually came to call herself) never rejoined her and CANNOT and willnot ever do so now... Not like she wanted to and not like I would let HER. Uh, we’ve become . . .close friends after it was all said and done. Sisters even, after having been forced to reveal so much of ourselves to each other during Third Impact/Instrumentality.
And while I and she shared in experiencing the whole of humanity ground together into a collective whole, it was done by a more remote viewing than what everyone ELSE Still, it gives me chills to remember watching that Rei/Lilith godlike entity give birth to (and then die) to some kind of Starchild/godlike entity which looked vaguely like Shinji Akari. Somehow (don’t ask me how) I know that even though Third Impact/Instrumentality produced something that would live on, it meant something of a failure all the same for the poor wretch! Let me explain. I don’t know how I know, just that I know. It would have driven me to distraction before coming to this place I finally call home after finding my way back OUT of that strange reality via another wormhole (which seem to have grown rather fond of me for whatever reason, they show up so often in my presence and doing all sort of odd things). Now? Well, while I still believe that everything always has a logical explanation it does NOT mean that I may be able to easily understand it, if at all. Let alone to easily stomach it. Just saying that there are things out there bigger than me, you see? Anyway, don’t ask me how I and my sister Eva know it, but we know that Lilith’s life story kept on repeating over and OVER and over again and again. Always with slight variations but repeat and repeat again until the outcome of the Angel’s War produced something BETTER than Third Impact producing that Star Child . . .or a planet with a destroyed eco-system which in turn would kill every last human being who return from that LCL sea that Instrumentality created in the first place. . . . Frell, that LCL business is weird! It made a certain amount of sense back in that reality. I understood the science behind it back there, but not now in THIS reality. Odd. Eva felt the same way. I wonder how exactly she shall react when I finally DO get a chance to tell her about THIS latest development! If nothing else, she’ll finally HAVE to agree with me about how . . .er . . .effectively disruptive (in a GOOD way) Inquirer and her friends can be to the status quo. If ANY collection of individuals could disrupt the events leading up to the occurrence of Third Impact/Instrumentality . . .they are the ones to accomplish it!!
