Nerv Bridge Simulator XXV - Quest

The pastebin has a guide.
The Eileen in question is Katie.

...So in conclusion: Great scores all around, good chemistry with her classmates. What can I say, we've got her a perfect student well on her way to some great things! [He smiles at Eileen]

On final thing: The School Band Advisor wanted Eileen to come more often to band practice. I understand she's been missing quite a lot of them? Now, I know this is a complicated situation but I strongly advise Eileen to commit her club duties.

Too much.

Don't mistake my autism for what it takes to run a quest, user.

Sides obliterated.

I am glad to hear she is doing so well, though it sounds a little strange.

Eileen does have more than just the band as an extracurricular commitment, but she should still hold herself to her other hobbies.

I don't thinks it's a big concern, but I suppose it will be up to her to find the time again to commit to it.

I don't care if her teac-!
Oh. Well, that's great actually. I'm glad to hear she's been doing so well. Unfortunately Eileen might not have the time to commit to her clubs like we would want.

She practicing at home when she has time. Between saving the world and saving the world.

Thanks for the input. I would love to help but Eileen's other activities are quite demanding in terms of the scheduling. Among other things.

Would taking private lessons instead of skipped band practices work? Or is the collective part vital? I'm sorry, music is not my forte.

>animated OP
>guntentacles made it in
I love you Cegremo

I know, I know. Eileen is a very special child in a very special place, but I can only give you my advice as a tea--

Heads down, stay away from the window!

Everybody down!

Hit the deck, cover Eillen.

Damn it.

pull out riot shield, cover eileen.

Not this shit again

Sorry to break it to you, but we don't carry a riot shield in our pocket.

Cover Eileen, shout get down at the teacher.

As of last thread, I think we do

Well, duh. We carry it over the shoulder obviously.

Duck and cover!

[Eileen]
M-major? What's going on? The window exploded!

[The emergency sirens are starting up, but the recorded message is heavily distorted]
>Warn--g! Co-- B Ev---ation -- in eff--t! A-l citize---ar- to ev--uate t- the---as--gned emerg--ncy cen----! Th-- is n-t a --ill. I --peat, this------ot a d--ll. All k---person--l are to r--ort to the G-----ont imm---ately.

[Eileen's teacher]
I-I need to get out of here! [He nearly shoves you while running for the door]

Pull out gun and begin underwater escort mission to our car.
>stay frosty, could be a terrorist attack

Call the HQ, demand sitrep.

Check on the desk if there is a phone. Hopefully it's a landline and we can contact HQ (I suppose we have pass code for those kind of situations).

Also check what is going on through the ... well, there is no window anymore.

"Speaking of the devil..."

Get a car (commandeer one if we're by foot) and get to the GeoFront.

Stay calm, Eileen. I'll get us back to the Geofront.

Let's check Eileen and ourselves then try to get an idea of what's going on from a quick glance out the window. Then let's make Misatos driving seem slow.

...

Yeah, if it's impossible to call HQ, let's drift on Mont-Royal.

[Seems like the whole grid is down: Both of your cellphones have no signal. The telephone on the desk isn't working either.]

[Eileen]
A-alright.

[You quickly check through the window to see what caused the explosion.]

[Taking Eileen by the hand, you head for your car.]

...

Is that a fucking laserbeam?

Obligatory low-orbit angel?

Units 03 and 08 are operational, right?

If that were the case, we just need sufficiently large mirror.

It is.

I guess our fanservice is the laserbeam.

Hey. Hey. NERV QM. Lasers don't count as fanservice.

Well, it can't get much worse than last time, right?

They count as horrible disfiguring though.

>Lasers don't count as fanservice.
They do when you can loot them from corpse of fallen enemy and they are still functional.

[Eileen]
Major, are those con trails? Do you think they sent Ji Eun?

Sorry, I'm looking at the road at the moment!

This angel better not be in outer fucking space.

I don't know ... Maybe they are trying to poke it with some cruise missile.
Standard procedure include an early scan with the AWAC but I doubt they have time for standard procedure.

It's hard to say, more likely to be missiles. If that was a laser, I would guess the object is a satellite or an Angel.

He gave us the chance to do space training and research

We never took that chance

Game over

Welp, GG.

I kept thinking we wouldn't need it since we had the positron cannon. But now our sniper is out of commission ;~;

[Every circulation light you've seen along the way was non-functional.]

[Eileen]
M-major! We need to hurry, we can't be stuck here!

I'm pretty sure we've got E.V.A. equipement and launchers or at least some primitive version of it. We bought a little of those stuff for the 3rd or 4th angel that was orbiting earth.

>health bar
'ERE WE GO

[Eileen]
Aaagh!

Quick! The Emergency stopping lane!

>end of the world imminent
>we're stuck in a traffic jam
somehow, this feels appropriate

If that thing shooting a laser beam is what I think it is, then i believe so.

Truely a summery of human civilization.

Keep an eye out for somebody on motorbike. We can borrow it and sneak through the traffic.

Let's see where we are after this beam strike first.

[Eileen]
I-I'm alright, I think.

What should we do now, Major? Your car is a mess...

Oh- Are you hurt? I-is that, is that blood?

"Don't worry about me, I've had far worse. We need to keep going."

If we can't call in a transport we need to continue on foot. Commandeer a working vehicle as soon as we can. Our authority is great, and if that doesn't work scare them out with the gun.

Thinking about it, we might have wanted to stay at the school and wait for transport. It was only a matter of time until someone with their head on straight realized we were at the school for the meeting and sent a helicopter.

Keep moving, yes, and yes.

I fear nothing except watermelon patches!
Come on, let's find a working bike.

Don't worry about it, you just concentrate on one foot in front of the other. I'll be fine.

I wish we had a flare gun. And a tank.

We'll head towards the nearest NERV checkpoint and see if their radio works.
Look and see if you can spot any other NERV personnel.

>Man, this sucks! I just had my car restored and it's a total wreck already. 33 more loan payments to go, plus the cost of repairs. And look! My best suit has been ruined! And I was looking and feeling so ni...

"Oh ... It's not that much blood. And it's not the first time you see it, right?"

Let's continue on foot until we can find another vehicle.
We should really invest in a better communication system. Loosing communication with everyone each time we fight an Angel is absolutely unacceptable.

Just a scratch, hon.
Come on, if you aren't hurt we should get moving. Lets get out of the road and figure out a way to contact HQ.
>Do they still have payphones in afuckingleafland?

Sorry, I've behind a bit, where is her twin?

Not attending the same school

The other Eileen goes to the same school as Anna

I think this is less problem of a phone and more about entire grid being toast.

[You two walk amongst the totalled cars and scared citizens]

She must be at her school with Anna. And she's not my twin, only a copy.
It still seems like an awful lot, I'm feeling light headed...

Where are we going to get a car? HQ is still very far. Are you really going to coerce someone to give your their car?

Yes, I am. We're talking the continued existence of life as we know it here .

I'm an high ranking official and I suppose earth isn't gonna save herself? I suppose that counts.

Undo tie, cover the worst cut.

"It's less of a coercion and more of an emergency loaning. Also I'm pretty sure NERV will compensate them for the trouble. But yeah, I will. I don't know what's going on but the sooner we get to the HQ the sooner we can put it to stop."

Eileen, this war against the Angels has put everyone on the edge. If we want to live, and if we want to help the people we love, we need to take action. We need to always take action.

We're going to have to. Unless someone from HQ can triangulate our position.

[Is there any cover or something similar nearby? And how long was it between shots? I think we need to start assuming that either the Major or Eileen is being targeted intentionally unless the swath of destruction is a lot larger than I think it is.]

Its manifest destiny or eminent domain or something. Allows me to appropriate civilian equipment for national security. Or global security as the case may be.

I'll give it back to them later.
Or NERV will pay for a better one.

The laser seems to be taking pot shots, the odds of us getting hit twice are low.

He says before being kill-satted to oblivion.

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this range"

That's kind of my point. Eileen's school gets almost hit, the Major's car gets totaled and we can't use NERV and duct tape magic to drive away perfectly fine. Both relatively close in how many districts Montreal-3 has.

>talking about odds in NBS

If you are trying to say we are the target, I don't really buy it. The major and the kids are big targets, but if the aim is to assassinate us than several men with guns would have as good a shot as a poorly targeted laser and would be a lot cheaper. If it's an Angel, It would be better off shooting at the HQ.

I don't know.

I guess you're right. We have to give it back when we're done tho--

[The ground shakes, you can hear the deafening sound of the Evangelion Rail Launch System activating.]

[Eileen]
E-Eva 03? Who's piloting?!

How would it aim at us? How would it even know?

Unless we're running with the idea that Eileen has trace of Angel in her from the whole manifest-in-LCL incident and the thing on orbit can somehow sense that.

But hell, we don't even know it is an Angel, could he hijacked satellite.

Judging by the strong AT field, probably Florence.

While I would love to get to her right now, we need to move in the opposite direction. Because I'm pretty damn sure Unit03 is what the orbital thing is shooting at. And we don't want to be anywhere nearby when it does.

Uhm ... I'm not sure that a good idea but ... We could like ... you know uhm ... climb on the EVA until it notice us.

[I mostly think an Eileen might be the target. Major is small fry, copied Eileens probably are not according to the scenario. Speaking of which...]

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what I mean
At this moment, a car is everything
Citizens being oppressed
My thoughts I confess
Verge on hurry
Oh, come on, Eileen.

Nah

Lets hope the acting head of operations knows what he's doing. Come on, we need to hurry.

Judging by the rifle it's Anna.
Come on, we really need to get to HQ and farther from the potential target an Eva is..

holy shit an opening

Forgot to quote.

I just had a thought, maybe the bursts of damage occur when the lazer has built up a charge and fires it all at once, and maybe it has been aiming at the HQ this whole time. If that is true, it would be a really really bad idea to continue towards the HQ.

We need to find another route or we will get blown to bits before we get close.

Move away from the Eva.

Unless there's a personnel elevator by the umbilical exit. Then let's go there.
