After putting up a rather large fuss about plans to ship him and his EVA separate Jack was on a boat. He got his way even if it meant breaking some rules. He was sitting , hidden under some plating , it was a reckless thing to do but he knew he would not regret it. However his disappearance put people in panic when they realized that he was missing from his own ship during the final miles of travel. He stayed hidden until they brought the EVA on land and tied it down and began traveling to Nerv. 

Seeing his chance to get out when the driver parked for a coffee Jack left hiding before whispering that he'd be back to the EVA. "Don't worry Lancelot". He then ran out and traveled as far as he could mentally counting ten minutes before going in his pocket and turning on his phone.

"I'm here , I know your listening in so hurry and pick me up."He says as he sat down on the grass around him. He relaxed for a bit and within minutes as he had expected there was a Nerv car pulled up beside him. The agent said nothing but Jack knew what would have been said if he did. 

Without much care or choice Jack got in the back seat. The trip went by like a blur to him , not paying attention to much and focus on thoughts based on Lancelot. Jack later realized he had stopped moving and was at the check in area. "This place could really learn to live..."He mumbled as he walked in and took a brief look around. "Yo." He said as he waved a hand and tilts his head.
