I have to admit I miss those guys. Because of the way the plot arc shaped up, we really never got to have any time with them when they were all four at the top of their game at the same time, which is a shame.

Also, for convoluted reasons, all of this has caused me to experience the following:

INT. - EVA-02 ENTRY PLUG. ASUKA S. LANGLEY is at the controls, eating a small bag of corn chips and directing her remarks to the pilot condition monitor camera in the upper righthand corner.

ASUKA
I know what they're doing. I mean, I know EXACTLY what they're doing. 'Cause they just keep repeating "go faster than any pilot in the history of EVA combat," like that's a GOOD thing. Like it'll distract me from how insane their plan is. Yeah, I get to go faster than any pilot in the history of EVA combat. Because you're launching me into ORBIT.

ASUKA
Actually it's worse than that, because I won't even be able to control the thing. And by the way. Physicists? When describing things like acceleration? Do not use the word "fast". So they're only doing that in the hopes that I won't raise any objections to this lunacy. Because I like the way "fastest pilot in the history of EVA combat" sounds.

She munches pensively on the chips for a few seconds.

ASUKA
(a bit reluctantly)
I do like the way it sounds.

A beat.

ASUKA
I mean, I like it a lot.

Another beat.

ASUKA
I'm not gonna tell THEM that.

She finishes the chips, wads the bag up and stuffs it into a storage compartment on the side of her seat, then gives the camera a wryly pensive look.

ASUKA
OK. Let's do this.

She picks up her helmet from the control console as the entry plug starts flooding with LCL.

EXT. DAY - BAIKONUR COSMODROME, KAZAKHSTAN. EVA-02 is bolted into an open-air cage of girders at the top of a GIANT SOVIET BOOSTER. "WATERLOO" starts playing as the rocket BLASTS OFF.
