A member of NERV Intelligence says two hours ago he was last seen in the 8th district. Misato says that's inside this installation what were you idiots in intelligence doing. The agent says someone inside was involved. Misato says someone who could outwit section two you don't think. The agent says Ryoji Kaji is suspected of being the mastermind behind this plot. Misato says that's why you came to me. One of the agents says we believe that you can help us. Another says we regret including the director of operations as a suspect but that is the nature of our profession. Misato says considering my relationship it's a natural precaution. A monolith with SEELE 01 on it appears in front of Fuyutsuki and says there are a number of matters we need to discuss without the commander the nature of your procurement was necessary. Fuyutsuki says you haven't changed how this affects me is inconsequential. A member says these measures were inevitable. A different member says please understand our situation. Fuyutsuki says I'm surprised not the committee but SEELE itself. One of them says creating a new god is not on our agenda. A member says we hope you will cooperate Professor Fuyutsuki.

The other person says I doubt that there's a new student who's just wrote a very interesting paper her name is Ikari have you heard about her before. Fuyutsuki says Ikari, no sir. The person he is sitting with says I've told her about your work and she asked if he could meet you she'll be calling you soon and I'd like you to take her on as a research student. Fuyutsuki agrees. Fuyutsuki says I read your paper last night there's a few things I have questions about but it's very interesting. The woman in front of him says thank you sir. Fuyutsuki says your full name is Yui Ikari right. Yui says yes. Fuyutsuki says what are your career plans would you like to do corporate research or join a school research facility.

Text appears saying 2015 AD. A SEELE member says by incorporating the S2 unit into itself it has achieved its ultimate form. A member says Evangelion Unit 1.

Text appears saying 1999 AD. Fuyutsuki says no I've never met him he does seem to be at the core of a lot of rumors I was appointed as his advisor I'll come bail him out. Gendou says I've been hearing some interesting things about you professor I've wanted to meet you. Fuyutsuki says getting drunk and starting a fight isn't the best introduction. Gendou says I didn't have a chance to say anything before they jumped me. He says I'm not used to being liked but I'm quite familiar with hatred. Fuyutsuki says your problems are none of my concern. Gendou says you're exactly the kind of person I expected you to be. Fuyutsuki in present says my first impression was that he was a rogue son of a bitch and back then there was still seasons in this country it was autumn. Fuyutsuki says are you serious. Yui says yes, I've been dating Gendou Rokubungi. Fuyutsuki present says when she told me that I couldn't hide my shock. Fuyutsuki says to Yui it's hard imaging you and him together. Yui says he's really a sweet person it's just that nobody knows him. Fuyutsuki says sometimes ignorance is bliss. Yui says are you upset I told him to list you as counselor. Fuyutsuki says I'll admit he's interesting but I just don't like him. Fuyutsuki in present says it was generally believed that Gendou's real object of his overtures to Yui was her talent and the support of the organization backing her that organization was called SEELE.

He says how is Yui doing why isn't she on this expedition. Gendou says Yui wanted to come as well but we have a child to consider now. Fuyutsuki says there are a lot of rumors about SEELE I don't like the way it bullies the committee. Gendou says I'm afraid it is necessary.

He continues later the United Nations would make an official declaration that Second Impact was caused from a massive meteor strike in Antarctica.

He continues it became my goal to find the real answers the truth that was being suppressed. Text appears saying 2003 AD Hakone. He says even if my former student Yui is involved. Fuyutsuki is talking to Gendou and says why did you conceal the existence of the Giant you knew Second Impact was going to happen didn't you you say its just luck you returned the day before it happened but how do you explain the fact that you brought up all the expeditions research and findings I know for a fact your personal files contain more than we recovered. He puts pictures and documents on his desk. Gendou says I'm surprised that these weren't destroyed. Fuyutsuki says I've checked into your estate as well bringing up a child and educating him is expensive but isn't this a bit much. Gendou says very impressive Professor Fuyutsuki perhaps you should be teaching economics. Fuyutsuki says I'm going public with the truth about you, SEELE, Second Impact and the Dead Sea Scrolls what you've done is completely inexcusable.

Naoko says no it's over this way Ritsuko I'll be right back. Fuyutsuki says is this the Giant. Naoko says we refer to the Second Impact giant as Adam but this isn't the one.

She says even with me I also understand she is the only survivor of the original research team and she used to be mute but she talks almost constantly now like she's trying to make up for lost time. Naoko says dear Ritsuko I'm underground so much these days that I feel like a mole and I'm sick and tired of boxed lunches on the surface they've started construction of Tokyo-3. Ritsuko says Misato hasn't shown up to college for the past few days and I finally forced her to tell me why. She says she spent the whole week having sex with her new boyfriend I think there's another side of her I haven't seem before she introduced me to him today he's handsome but sloppy attitude bothered me. Naoko says you've always been a little boy-shy Ritsuko dear I think it's because you only had a mother and no men in your life I'm ashamed to admit it but I only acted like a mother when it suited me.

Yui says that's why I brought him I want to show him how bright the future will be. Naoko thinks those words would be Yui's last…a freak accident wiped her from this existence just as I had hoped it would. She says what a disgusting woman I am after that day Commander Ikari changed completely. Fuyutsuki says where have you been all week I understand your grief you must know your life no longer belongs to you alone.

Rei says you are an old hag aren't you. Naoko says I'm getting mad Commander Ikari will spank you.
