Himmelfarb and the rest of the bridge crew were observing a message from the South Pacific. He soon reached the bridge, where Misato and Dr. "Sir, we have a report from the South Pacific," Misato said. But a secret spread too wide falls too easily into the wrong hands. Maybe it would have been better to have them in on it. It would be in the hands of the Children, and they lacked the training, the discipline. Fuyutsuki hoped, but he feared the power would not be his. Gendo had always hoped, once he had the power, to extract her. She had always lightened his and Gendo's gloom. She had always moderated Gendo's intensity perhaps if she had lived.
But would their minds hold? Could he make them hold?Īnd Yui.He missed her as well. What would they do with it? Would Earth face the fate of Xoth? They would beat the Sea King, if their minds did not break. Was their plan viable? And could he actually go through with it? And if they did not, what would happen? If the Children won, they would have the power of gods. But Gendo was the man for a crisis like this. Fuyutsuki was not a man made for leadership he had let Gendo take charge, then guided him with his lore. He wished again that Gendo had not perished. Or else it was something to do with Dagon and Hydra. And Cthulhu was almost certainly the Sea King. This was almost certainly the time of Cthulhu's rising. The easily observed stars were right, but what about the occulted ones? Without access to SEELE's special equipment any more, he couldn't be sure. Fuyutsuki sighed and put the report down. He rose and headed off to the observatory. "Commander, the astronomical reports you ordered are ready," Sgt. His phone rang, interrupting his reverie.
The TV continued to play on, now segueing into some sort of incoherent ad selling sausages. Probably using the UN as stalking-horses at first. Things were not going well the pressure was heating up, and he feared that soon, SEELE would make its move. "Available now, only from Remnant Records, The Best of Devastin' Dave, the Turntable Slave! For only 19.99, you can buy this two disc set of the music you grew up with! Get it now before it becomes elevator music!"įuyutsuki relaxed just a tiny bit he would have laughed if he was in a better mood. Emmanuel Fisher of the University of Chicago continues to argue this is a special form of mass hysteria, made possible by the spread of mass media.
Many fear this may presage an Angel attack even more potent than the ones before it."
Dismissed initially by the scientific community, it has become impossible to deny that many people around the world, especially those of an artistic or religious bent, have begun to dream of a sunken city full of non-Euclidian architecture, inhabited by fish-men. "Psychologists are continuing to study the rising problem of shared nightmares. The battle of Lima was a bloody one, causing countless thousands of deaths." "The nation of Peru has announced it plans to sue NERV in the World Court. Have we not seen how they cast down the traitor within their ranks before she could do more damage? So must we cast aside those who would sway us from the true path." Do not let yourself be dismayed by the setback in Shwartzburg, for the powers of the night are potent. "Amen, and I say unto you, blessed are the Children, for they shall protect this Earth. "The end times are come! The unrighteous rise up and cloak themselves in the images and names of righteousness, but by their fruits shall ye know them! There is not a single god-fearing person to be found among their ranks, only a bunch of pagans of the worst caliber! Their battle commander wears a pagan holy sign around her neck in parody of the Cross of Jesus, in which we put our faith." NERV continues to assert that the Sixth Child went mad as a result of the stresses caused by EVA piloting, prompting many to wonder how soon the other Children will snap." It is generally believed that they are trying to decide on appropriate action in response to the Shwartzburg disaster. "The UN Security Council continues to meet behind closed doors in special session. It seems that NERV's stock with the public is falling to new lows."
Unlike previous occasions, the American government seems unwilling to take any action to disperse them. "Protests continue at NERV's American facilities coordinated by the watchdog organization NERVWatch, protestors have been shouting and waving placards since 8 AM.
