Nerv Bridge Simulator XVII

It has been. Good to see you up and walking.

Do all CAGs have 9 lives?

Have you done another memorial wall to add the sweaty brit yet?

>inb4 he survived and snuck off to Tim Hortons when we wasn't looking

Dude he's talking to us right now.

Holy shit, that badass actually survived?

Guess I'll bump us down to five KIAs instead.

It could be another dream...

Who wouldn't have done this for such a good kid? We're there to protect them, I would have been a lousy CAG if she died there.

Speaking of Anna, were you able to see her? Ever since we came back from Vancouver the Science Division has her and they're not letting her see anyone. I hope she's okay.

The emergency landing wasn't that rough, it's the angel exploding who almost destroyed the VTOL. [He looks anxious] Rachel has been particularly in a bad mood lately, especially towards me. I guess she's mad that her aircraft took a beating.

>Do all CAGs have 9 lives?
[He laughs] I sure hope so.

Man this is a pretty early thread. People are still in school/work.

I'll advise the commander that what you did was 'above and beyond the call of duty'.

Based Husker survived!

That thing you faced in Vancouver attacked a lot differently than other Angels. I'll make an effort to get past the red tape today and make sure she knows you asked about her.

Rachel...I think she's just as frustrated if not more so that she's not the one able to watch over the kids. You did good out there, above and beyond.

I don't think that's why she's in a bad mood at all, trust me. I'll be sure to check on Anna, so you just worry about getting better.

[CAG]
Thank you. I won't hold my breath for a medal though, last I heard Rachel still hasn't had the one you promised her. [He smiles]

All right. I still have some people to see. Have a good day, Major.

[He shakes your hand and leaves. You then spot Florence, sitting alone in the front row.]

Hey Florence. How are you holding up? I know you came to us from Vancouver...

Go up to her. "Hey, how is everything?"

let's go talk to Florence

Her hometown was pretty much destroyed.
So she naturally she's distraught.

Do we have any idea on other KIAs?

Like was the science officer that was her caretaker in the blast? or just injured or what?

Oh god what about the pilot in the posessed EVA?

we should find out what she's all... twisted up about.

At least Carl's fine?

>Like was the science officer that was her caretaker in the blast? or just injured or what?
Tanged

>Oh god what about the pilot in the posessed EVA?
Vaporized

>At least Carl's fine?
Doubtful.

I think the pilot in the possessed EVA is actually ok.

I'd be really surprised but grateful if that were the case. She as close to ground zero of the suicide blast as you can get.

I think that EVA was pretty much blown appart

>Veeky Forums in charge of consoling lone survivors

Oh, Hi...

I don't know how it's been holding up, Major. The loss of the Science Division director has impacted me more than what I expected.

I wouldn't say we were close, but she was always there, you know. Seeing her photo on the memorial is... It's hard to look at. [She looks away, you can see tears running down her cheeks.]

inb4 someone suggests headpatting.

No headpats, just sit with her and hold her shoulder like the pic.

"It's hard. I've lost a lot of people too. Every time you guys go out there, I'm worried you won't come back. Its alright to mourn for them. Once we stop crying for the dead, we stop caring about the living."

I know it's hard. But we've got to keep moving forward. Everyone needs time to grieve, but sometimes you feel like it's going to rip you apart from the inside out.

And you have to be able to face that, to deal with it, for everyone that couldn't make it this far.

I know you probably feel like you've lost everything, but, listen; you haven't. Montreal is still here. You still have us; the other pilots, me, even the staff, we all care about you.

I know I'm not the director, or very coherent at times, or subtle at all, but Im open if you ever want someone to talk to.

Profound idea of the day.

You know how the this is based on Evangelion, which is obsessed with sticking the souls of the dead in places they shouldn't be? You know how some of the characters is based on the Evangelion characters that was present during the arctic expedition, the epicenter of the greatest loss of human life? You know how one such characters' defining characteristics is that they have high functioning schizophrenia and having knowledge they shouldn't have access to? Just a thought.

OOC: I guess being based is a recruitment criteria for CAGs

>No, user, you are the angels.

>Major is Tabris
fug

But we are losing so much people, are we even doing the right thing? All of this fighting...

Who will mourn me when I'll be the one with a photo on that memorial? All my friends are here, and they're constantly in danger.

I do feel like it's ripping me inside out. How can you cope with this? Being in an Evangelion Unit is so easy, I feel at home. This emotional stuff is a million time harder.

You're right... I care about all of you too.

Excuse me Major, I'm making a scene. [She dries her tears] I just need some time for myself, there's too many people here. It's making me uneasy.

Thank you. Here, this is my cellphone number. Don't freak out if I don't respond right away though, I always forget this phone at home.

>I always forget this phone at home.
Where is Florence even staying? She's 18; does that mean she has her own place?

>But we are losing so much people, are we even doing the right thing? All of this fighting...
>Who will mourn me when I'll be the one with a photo on that memorial?
It won't come to that, Florence. We were too late for Vancouver, but as long as I'm in command, no lives will be wasted protecting humanity's future. I'll be damned if I let everyone's sacrifices go to waste.

PS: Don't be afraid to cry, Florence. Its what people do when they're sad. If not here, then elsewhere.

[Florence]
...I'm happy you're there, Major.

I'll be going home now. You can call me too if you want.

[Rachel suddenly bump into you]
Ah! Major! Good!

There's a situation, follow me.

[She grabs your hand and take you through the crowd]

It's not a bad thing to cry. That's why we are here today. They were good people and they deserve your tears. Nobody will judge you. If you're modest, we can go somewhere else.

Great now what

A situation? Damn it, is it the new kid?

You know you can call me "user" right? Its not like I call you Captain. In any case, what's going on?

Florence, it's not a scene to cry at a memorial service.

It's always rough to deal with emotions. It's a lot easier to focus on a job at hand, believe me. But our emotions are what give us the drive to move forward and complete our tasks in the first place. It's kind of a chicken and egg situation.

People care about you, and I know your other pilots consider you their friend.

CAGs are masters at ninja'ing and surviving.

H-hey there... You're sure it can't wait the end of the service?

[She drags you farther into the park]
Maj- user. You've been my close confident ever since the supper at Elizabeth's. The one I know I can always depend on, no matter the situation.

I need your assistance in this time of need.

OK? What's the situation? Something about Anna?

We're listening.

Seth is here, isn't he?

Yes, all 20 of us...

W-What are those white cloud

You're talking awfully strange. What's going on?

>nb4, during, and after Husker husbanduing

No, but this is something we need to adress too after the service.

Worse. I've since my ex here searching for someone. We haven't talked to each other for 2 years and I certainly don't plan to today.

What do you say we leave and try to see Anna? They won't let me-

[You hear a voice]

Rachel? Are you running from me?

Who this guy be?

>my ex
Another one?

>*I've seen my ex

H-hey Ji-Eun! Long time no see r-right? I certainly wasn't runn-

This can only end badly.

>Make a step forward

I'm expecting some pretty spoopy GIFs from you in the future.

>animated

WHAT HAS NERV BRIDGE SIMULATOR DONE?

IT MOOVE

I don't know how I feel about being used as a prop to ward off ex boyfriends.

but damn Rachel is cute.

You draw, you run an awesome quest, and do conventional table top stuff with people, AND you animate? Is there anything you can't do OP?

No need to explain yourself, Rachel. I'm not here for you.

[She turns toward you]
A pleasure to meet you, Major. [She shakes your hand] I'm in charge of the RCAF 38th Fighter Squadron. We will be stationed here after what happened to Vancouver.

I know we're not supposed to come here until next week, but I wanted to introduce myself and participate in this memorial service.

No hard feelings I take it?

Its always a pleasure to meet new and interesting people. Thank you for coming.

The pleasure is all mine.

I'm sorry we weren't able to regroup with your forces during the battle of Vancouver. Thanks for coming today. You must have lost a lot of people too.

Thank you for showing up. Will you be working under NERV directly or in tangent under RCAF command?

What happened during the attack? We couldn't raise the base on the radio during the operation

Wait, is this girl the alleged ex?

>mfw Veeky Forums is fucked on my computer so no reaction images
feels bad man

Could be a trap

i know that feel via work computer

I'm halfway tempted to ask this to be aloud and in character because it fits the major so well

Of course not. I know how immature Rachel can be sometimes. I'm surprised she the acting CAG of Nerv-Mtl.

Yes, Vancouver is a heavy loss for all of us. We lost great minds and good friends, this is partly the reason why I'm here today.

Under you, actually. My F-23 unit will act under your command, just like Nerv-Montréal's YAGR or Tank units.

The last order we got was to take make an emergency take-off. Unfortunately we were attacked by the city's own Static Weapon Systems. One of our planes crashed into the comm. tower so we were effectively blind.

We were relieved to hear your victory over the Angel, Major, even if it came at a great cost.

>ex
>its another female pilot
Huh.

Well, looks like we Nerv Bridge Simulator Animated now.

Yes, the operation was a blow to everyone involved. We paid a steep price for victory, but the stakes were so high I can't be sure wether it was all worth it.

> I'm in charge of the RCAF 38th Fighter Squadron
>CAG's ex

FUCKING CALLED IT!

It's good to know someone made it out of that mess, and an additional air group is always a good thing. Welcome to Major user's wild ride.

Well im glad to hear it. Im sure it will be a pleasure working with you and,i hope to see you and your team doing great work in the future.
Now if you'll excuse us we have some children to hunt down.

Trust CAG to put em in the bag

>that pose
Damn, that's fabulous as fuck.

Heh, if you think Rachel's immature then you're really gonna love me. She's the better half of us.

But really, welcome to the team. Look forward to working with you.

It keep moving!
F23 are interceptors, right? How armed are those beast?

>all the sass in these animations
ooc-Thank you, based NERV-HQ.

ic-I'm glad you and most of your squad made it out.

Rachel being a bi slut only makes my metaphorical boner for her all the more gigantic.

We need Major doing JoJo poses now.

>all these animated portraits

Its coming full circle! Give it ten years and there will be a quest based on the anime based on the quest based on Evangelion! Its like the majestic salmon returning to where it came from!

Oh, you know how Asians are - you can't be sure until you stripped them.
And once you already got that far, why stop either way?

The Angel was defeated; I consider the mission successful.

I look forward working with Nerv-Mtl too. Let's see if all those rumors I heard were true.

Unlike your Yagrs, their role is not for CAS but for interception, air interdiction and escort. Our weapons consists of medium range and BVR missiles.

Of course, don't let me hold you from your obligations.

[She turns to Rachel]
Hello Rachel. I see you're still at it with your old antics.

A simple greeting would have done the job.

Goodbye Major. Rachel.

You'll definitely have fun. The truth is much worse then the rumors.
