Rachael appearing as an angel

That was beautiful. Really. I hope that she can read this story where ever she is now.

These lenses on his shoulders are his heavy artillery - they're the emitters for a tandem anti-matter beam projector."

"What's that thing behind its head?" asked Jon Ellison. "Oh, that's Petya. A nuclear missile," Truss replied blandly.

[Londo Molari]Madness! Total and complete madness![/Londo Molari] ^_^;

Asuka gave a short, humorless laugh. "I'm -already- a cyborg,
Doctor, or don't you remember? The bones in my right leg, my right
arm, most of my left arm, half of my ribs, the orbit of my right eye
and the right side of my jaw are all made of an alloy whose name I
can't even pronounce. My right hip and shoulder joints are
military-grade. There's a neurocybernetic shunt bridging a break in
my right optic nerve, and the muscles around that eye are myomer
actuators. All the working parts of my right ear are bioelectronic.
My pancreas, my spleen, and ten feet of my small intestine were grown
in a tank. You supervised all that. Had you forgotten?"

Ouch! >_<
Asuka seems awfuly calm about the whole affair. Had I been in her place I would have ripped Ritsukos head off, literally, for trying to keep that secret from me.

"Nein!" Asuka whispered. "Ja!" Lucifer replied sarcastically. "I can't wait to see how you get yourself out of -this-.

Well. The "Ja" isn't _really_ wrong, but should you write a simmilar scene in the future you might want to use "doch".

"My name's Bacon," the voice replied. "Sergeant, X-COM, DN38416, assigned to protect you. "You have been targetet for termination!" ^_^;

Derek Bacon stared at the rostrum for a moment, then shook his
head and wandered out of the room, muttering to himself. Maybe Ken
Alda would be up for a game of MechWarrior 7.

Now which MechWarrior 7 would that be?
MechWarrior 7: Redemption
MechWarrior 7: Red Dragon Legion
or
MechWarrior 7: Mercenaries? :)

As the pain faded away and the darkness began to close in,
Natlateth realized that she had no more tricks; everything was
finished. There would be no return to Hell, not with her infernal
Heart destroyed by the Spear of Destiny. There would be no escape to
another body, for there were no more to use. There would be nothing.
She, a Princess of Hell, was at last brought low by this pathetic,
worthless, weak human being.

Well... I would never have thought that that I'd ever say this, but: Hooray for Gendou!

said DJ in a comic-opera parody of an aristocrat's tones.
"See here, are you attempting to imply that Miss Ayanami is a creature
of something less than perfect rectitude and virtue? Because if you
are, I'm afraid that as an English gentleman I shall be forced to
require satisfaction of you."
Laurence stared in open disbelief at the young Englishman. No
one had -ever- said such a thing to him before, and -certainly- not a
mortal. Behind him, he could hear a couple of people stifling laughs,
and Michael not even bothering.

"(Dude!)" San whispered to Shinji. "(God said I don't
displease Him!)"
"(I heard!)" Shinji replied. "(That's great!)"
"(That's TERRIBLE!)" San hissed plaintively. "(I'll have to
sin harder. You'll help me, right? We could start with some impure
thoughts or something and work our way up.)"

These to bits really had me on the floor. Thanks! ^_^

"Sehr gut,
danke! Und dir? Freut mich zu hören. Hör zu, DJ und ich sind
nach allem, was wir diese Woche durchgemacht haben, ziemlich müde
und wir haben im Moment einfach nicht die Kraft, für den Flug nach
England. Könntest du vielleicht hierher kommen? Es sei denn, du
möchtest warten, bis wir mit dem Schiff rüber kommen können."
There was a pause; Asuka nodded, her smile widening, and then
said, "Alles klar. Wir werden dich dann für Donnerstagabend
erwarten. Du hast Glück - das ist Tacoabend! Alles klar. Sicher.
Vielen Dank! Bis Donnerstag dann. Tschüss."

Ok, where did I put that list? Ah, there it is

Things I absolutely have to do in my life.

[ ]Gaining Dad's respect
[x]Having my name appear in the credits of an EPU story
[ ]Sailing to Iceland
[ ]A threesome with Japanese twins

Since I haven't seen one yet, feel like translating that back for us non-German speakers?

Offsides

I have looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked also back into me.
Neither of us liked what we saw.
EPU RCW #π

Other than that it was spectaculer. And I'm gonna have a talk with my computer. All Hail EPU!

I guess this is a good place to put in my 2 cents. I saw Matrix Reloaded between reading NXE:TMP. My livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/~satyap/ )post says:
MR almost got pre-empted by the NXE:TMP release on Fri May 16th. http://www.eyrie-productions.com/NXE/ I'd say the effects in NXE:TMP were better, being entirely imaginary. There was one scene where... well, no spoilers in this: the EVAs do a Neo/Smith-style everybody gang up on the good guy and the good guy flings them up and away scene. Also, NXE:TMP had a better storyline and a much better ending.
