Ritsuko is unconcerned.
Ritsuko "Force eject the entry plug, now."

Operations Staff B (OFF) "bend light."

The Analysis Room. Others are visible behind Misato and Hyuga.
Hyuga "Pathetic attacks like cannons or bombings are a waste."
Misato "It attacks and defends almost perfectly. It's like a fortress! What about its drill?"

A tactical map of Tokyo-3. A flashing indicator for the Angel moves over it.
Operations Staff C (OFF) "Right above us. Tokyo-3, area zero."

The drill.
Operations Staff C (OFF) "17.5 meters across; the probe is immense."

A tactical display of Nerv HQ's defense layers.
Operations Staff C (OFF) "It's drilling into HQ, right into the Geofront."

Hyuga "It will attack us directly, then..."

Misato (MONO) "Less than ten hours."

The drill continues. It slows suddenly, but keeps drilling.

The display shows the drill has reached the first barrier.
Aoba (OFF) "The first armor plate has been reached."

Misato turns.
Misato "What is the condition of Unit 01?"

Ritsuko walks forward. Ibuki behind her.

Ritsuko "The defensive armor was melted down to the third layer. Luckily, the central control unit took no damage."
Ibuki "Three more seconds and it would have been 'out'."

A melted piece of armor is lifted past them.
Worker (OFF - SPEAKER) "In three hours, we should have everything rebuilt."

Misato "Roger. And Unit 00?"

Ibuki. The camera zooms out and slowly reveals Ritsuko.
Ibuki "No problems with reactivation, but there are still errors."
Ritsuko "An actual battle is..."

Misato "Still impossible. And our injured pilot?"

Shinji in the hospital room

Misato "Yes sir."
Ikari "Why not use Rei?"
Misato "She's back-up. It's a two person project."

Misato "Don't you have faith in your son?"

Ikari "He has not proved himself capable of such a task... but if you are sure, Captain Katsuragi..."

Misato "Yes, sir."
The camera zooms out to reveal Misato is now with Ritsuko on an escalator.
Ritsuko "This is the most absurd scenario I've ever seen, Miss Strategist."

Misato turns.
Misato “Thanks for the vote of confidence.”

The escalator. The women descend.
Misato "Besides, it can be done in nine hours and it is our most effective option."
Ritsuko "Is it? Really?"

An immense gun is held against the wall.
Text: "Eva Special Positron Rifle (Cyclotron Prototype 20)
Ritsuko and Misato look at it.

Ritsuko and Ibuki stand in front of an old space shuttle. UP
Ritsuko "We'll be using a shield?"
Ibuki "This, ma'am?"
Ritsuko "Yes, it's from the SSTO."

Ritsuko "It doesn't look good, but it's got EM coating. It'll resist for 17 seconds."

Misato "Good. Firing location?"

A tactical map of Tokyo-3
Hyuga (OFF) "Considering range, the landscape, and power access, this is the spot."

Hyuga and Misato stare at the map. They are considering a mountain.
Misato "Looks good."
She rises.

Misato "Okay, we're using Mt. Futago. The operation starts at midnight. Codename: Yashima."

Close-up Misato's eye.

She puts the pad away.
She tosses something onto his bed.

It's a plugsuit.
Rei "Here is a new one."

Shinji sits up. He looks tired.
Rei "Even if you’re tired, you shouldn’t come looking like that."

He looks down, and realizes he is naked and only barely covered by the blanket.
He freaks and pulls the covers up.

He hides his face in the blankets while Rei watches.
Shinji "Sorry."

He looks up.
Shinji "I've been saying that a lot since yesterday."
He turns to Rei.

Rei (OFF) "Here."

He looks away.
Shinji "I don't feel like eating."

Rei "We leave in one hour."
Shinji "Do I have to?"
Rei "Yes."
Shinji "I don't want to. You can say that because you haven't had bad experiences. I don't want to go through that again."
Rei "I've had eight bad experiences."
Shinji looks up.
Shinji "You have?"
Rei "I'll pilot Unit 01."

Shinji looks shocked.
Rei "You may stay in bed."
Shinji "I can?"
Rei "Yes. Goodbye, Ikari-kun. I will not see you again."

She turns and walks away.

Shinji "Wha-? Wait!"

The door shuts.

Shinji waits a moment, and then sighs.

Shinji sits there, ashamed.

Ritsuko "You must hit the core precisely."

Shinji "But I've never practiced."

The gun, panning RIGHT.
Ritsuko "No problem, just follow the textbook. When the markers align, pull the trigger. And it'll take awhile to reload because of..."
Eva-01 comes into view.
Ritsuko "Cooling, reloading, and exchanging of fuses."

Shinji "Then... if I miss and the enemy shoots back..."

Ritsuko "Don't think about that sort of thing."
