I have a question. What are your worlds like?

Let's see...kinda like this one, but with horrible giant monsters who want to wipe out humanity and cool giant cyborgs that fight them. Also more water.

[heavenscorpse]

What's a cyborg?

[Video]

[soulsborderline]

Like a robot, but with artificial muscles instead of all mechanical parts.

Or I guess any living thing with mechanical parts is a cyborg, but Evangelions in particular are just robots that are partly made of meat.

[heavenscorpse]

...How does that work?

[soulsborderline]

If you want a lecture on how they're made and what the control scheme is like, you're gonna need to hope this place kidnaps Dr. Akagi. The important thing is, I pilot the best one, and I kill Angels.

[She looks frightened.]

Please don't kill me.

[soulsborderline]

Huh? What are you talking...look, Angels are specific to my world, as far as I know. They're giant monsters from another world who came to destroy humanity, not...whatever you were before you got here.

[heavenscorpse]

But I was a giant monster from another world who came to destroy humanity...

Notes: published May 1995. Evangelion: debuted Oct 1995. Coincidence?

[soulsborderline]

...

...you're joking, right?

*scare chord*

[heavenscorpse]

I'm not joking.

[soulsborderline]

This is kind of a moral dilemma. I've never heard of an Angel with any intelligence higher than animal instinct.

[heavenscorpse]

They don't usually in my world. I'm parasitic and absorbed the intelligence from people's thoughts.

[soulsborderline]

Not exactly helping your case.

[heavenscorpse]

I was just explaining. I didn't want to lie.

[soulsborderline]

Hmph. Well...in this world, are you on our side, or the little Shadows or mini-Angels or whatever the mask-blobs are?

[heavenscorpse]

I'm on your side. I don't want to hurt human beings any more.

[soulsborderline]

Well...

...you act more like a person than some people I know, and I can't just up and murder a person, so I'll take your word for it. I'm keeping an eye on you, though!

[heavenscorpse]

I promise to be good!

[soulsborderline]

Whatever.

If you've got any intel on how to fight Angels, though, tell me and I'll try to remember it when I get sent home again. That is, unless you want a different world of humans to get wiped out.

[heavenscorpse]

I'll try to think of everything I know. I don't want any humans to get hurt.

Let's see... Is there a central Angel that gives instructions to the other ones?

[soulsborderline]

Not that we've found. There was the first one fifteen years ago that caused Second Impact, and then a bunch of individual ones that showed up over the last few months. I think we just killed number 10.

[heavenscorpse]

Okay... how far into the atmosphere have you checked for them?

[soulsborderline]

Ugh. Don't bring that up. The last bastard dropped itself from orbit, and two of the other ones I fought personally popped out of the ocean and a verdammt volcano.

[Really don't remind her of the volcano.]

[heavenscorpse]

I was pretty far in the atmosphere for a long time, so there might be others up there that are hard to get at.

[soulsborderline]

Well that's just freakin' terrific. I have no idea how we'd fight something that actually stayed up in orbit. Misato's plan for stopping the last one was dumb enough already, and it came right to us.
