BE HAPPY - “It’s no good the pulses are flowing backwards!” “Synchronization rate is falling!” “Nerve connections are breaking!” “Eject the entry plug! Shut it down!” “No good, the signal isn’t going through!” “Unit 00 has gone berserk!” The Pribnow Box was in complete chaos as the startup test for Evangelion Unit 00 rapidly deteriorated out of their control. The crew was unable to get a signal through to the First Child, Rei Ayanami, who was piloting the Eva. Or rather, she was supposed to be piloting. Now it appeared as if the thing was acting on its own. Unit 00 let loose a horrible moan, one that sounded far too human for comfort, even to Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, who had long since thought herself immune to such petty sentiments. And she was, but there was just something unsettling about the sounds an awakened Evangelion made. She shuddered despite herself as the image of an unarmored Unit 00 pushed itself to the forefront of her mind. When she thought of it those terms, all of this seemed unimaginably cruel. So she supposed the restraining armor served to distance herself from the Evas. But this was…completely beyond her expertise. Unit 00 tore free of the arm restraints that held it against the far wall. The giant staggered forward like a man (or a woman, she thought icily) with a sudden migraine. Indeed, that’s how it behaved, clutching at its head and crying out again. Was it going to tear its own skull out? Then it stepped forward and lifted its cyclopean face and everyone knew in that instant that it was looking right at them. But only she knew it was looking right at her. He hand flew across the console and smashed open the glass case that protested the emergency cutoff switch, which she promptly pulled. The umbilical cable detached from Unit 00, cutting off its power. “Thirty seconds active power!” At the same time, Rei’s Entry Plug was ejected from the Eva’s neck. In the relatively small space, the rocket-propelled escape system shot her straight into the wall and ceiling. It bounced around shortly before it expended all of its emergency fuel and crashed to the floor. “Rei, no!” Gendo looked about ready to leap through the window to go to her rescue. As the berserk cyborg punched at the window separating it from them, all she could think was He never says my name like that.The large windows exploded inward, spraying the Nerv technicians with glass shards. It looked about ready to reach in and grab someone like a King Kong ripoff, but instead it recoiled, again clutching at its armor-encased head. At ten seconds active time remaining, Unit 00 began smashing its own skull against the wall, as if trying to banish some unseen demon from its mind. The sounds of alarms, metal crunching, and vaguely human moans mixed together into a macabre rhapsody that many would not forget for many nights. All Ritsuko could think of in that moment when power finally ran out and Unit 00 fell lifelessly stiff, and silence reigned, was that Gendo cared more about the doll girl than he did about her. He didn’t even see her jealous glare as the Somnacin flow was abruptly halted by the MAGI and they experienced what could only be described as a waking drowsiness. Once they were all awake, he was already at her side, a thin trickle of blood running down his arm from where he tore out the hypodermic needle. "Rei! Rei, are you alright?" "C-Commander?"

I'm not sure if I brought this up before, but Ariadne starts air-vent-crawling around this chapter. She curious about NERV's secrets and given the amount of security, she figures that the air vents would be unguarded. She is correct.

Shinji didn’t hear the knocking on the door until the third round; by that time he remembered that he was home alone. Misato had to go in early today for Rei’s reactivation test with Unit 00. He was in the middle of cleaning the kitchen because Misato never would and according to their “chart” it was his turn. Some chart. They decided chores with rock-paper-scissors and he lost almost every time. And those few things Misato was supposed to do, he ended up doing those anyway. It didn’t matter all that much, he supposed, at least when he cleaned he could make sure it was done correctly.
Pen Pen warked at Shinji to get his attention as their visitor knocked a third time. The boy set the last dish in the sink and stepped out of the kitchen, giving the warm water penguin a thankful nod. He opened the door, not sure of who to expect, although secretly hoping it would be Toji or Kensuka, and found himself staring at Dom Cobb’s bearded face.
“Hello, Shinji.”
“Cobb,” he stuttered. “Uh, Mis-Misato isn’t here right now. She had to go in because of Rei’s reactivation test with Unit 00.”
“I know,” he responded levelly. “But I’m not looking for her. Today, I’m here to see you.”
“Me?” No one had ever wanted to see him specifically – unless it was to scold him.
Cobb nodded. “Are you free?”
“Uh, well,” Shinji gave the apartment a backward glance and saw Pen Pen staring at him from the kitchen, wearing a look that said “Just go.”
“Let me get my shoes.”
