*meanwhile*
Celldweller:

Shinji, we have an incoming transmission from Equestria. 

Shinji:

...patch me through.

*is connected, a sergeant of the EDB stands in front view*

Sergeant Cornell. What's the sitrep?

Cornell:

.. We lost. EDB casualties have reached an all-time high.... Your father.... He was one of the dead... An entity named Virgil, AKA Trinity, killed him..


Shinji:

*He looks at the screen, dumbfounded*

....Now is not the time for games, sergeant. What happened.

Cornell:

He really is dead, commander shinji. You're the EDB's new Chief of Office.

Shinji:

...

*a lone tear falls from his eye, and hits the ground*

I want you to retreat to our base on dagobah in the outer rim galaxies. We will formulate a plan there. Commander, no, Chief Shinji out...

* cuts of the transmission*

... He's dead... He's actually gone... Forever....

*slumps down, leaning his back against a wall*

Why didn't he tell us, now we have two entities of mass destruction to worry about, and one of the few who stand a chance are dead....


*bangs his fist on the floor, denting it*
