To which, I am falling over in laugher because of COURSE, with people like XCOM there would be no need for International Rescue (or, more likely given XCOM funding for thing XCOM sees needs doing but does not want to be seen doing!) or perhaps 'folded into' XCOM. Either way, having just recently found the reboot of 2.0 on Amazon prime, where Miri pulls something akin to what Sinji does his... wait. I think its his second or third meeting with Rei. Still Hilarious given the innocence Ano wants Sinji to have at that point.

And a cliff hanger that would be aggravating except that I know that our heroes will emerge victorious in the end.
