Misato was stood in the command center of Nerv hq watching footage of the new Evangelion units being installed into their cages. The titanic machines had hoards of technicians and scientists working on them, making sure the Eva's were battle ready.
Looking around Misato felt how on edge the base was, it had been like this ever since the angel attack.
"Excuse me Captain."
Misato turned around to face a Nerv security officer, "Yes what is it?"
"The children have all arrived Ma'arm."
"Oh, brilliant I'-"
Suddenly alarm klaxons wailing throughout the command center and all the Nerv staff snapped to attention.
"Code blue, target sighted ten kilometers off the coast." One of the techies called out.
"Five UN and JSSDF destroyers have engaged the target, but their fire is having no effect."
Misato heard somebody running behind her she turned to see Ritsuko come running in, the blonde woman was breathless.
"Another one already? I'd thought we'd have more time between angels."
Misato nodded she'd been thinking the same, but there was no time to worry about that now.
"You Sergent!" Misato pointed to the security officer. "Go get the children in the lobby and take them to the Eva cages."
"Yes ma'arm". The officer ran off, she couldn't help but think how lucky they were the children had already arrived, she had hoped to brief them first, but it appeared their first taste of Japan was going to be of combat.
