The Magi had it’s sensors in a number of pies, chief among them the phone system. As an additional security precaution the pilots’ cell phones contained both a tracking unit and an ‘omega’ modification, that allowed the Magi to keep the line open while the phone was ‘off’.
Utilizing the audio input from the two phones and a couple of hidden cameras, installed by unit 2 personnel who were then transferred leaving no one but the system itself aware that the cameras existed, the Magi quickly compiled the following data;
1. Rei was a screamer.
2. ‘Hands on’ was the best way to teach Shinji anything.
3. Interrupting the two was hazardous to Nerv personnel.
4. Emotional bonds had formed between the two, the
... sundering of which would result in destruction on a
... massive scale and would likely prove to be temporary.
5. The last article of data was calculated without the Eva
... units themselves factored in.
Presenting the information to Gendo in a format he could deal with and waiting for his response always took a significant amount of time, so the Magi fell back into their usual time wasting argument, trying to figure out the sexual orientation of Dr. Akari’s protégé Maya.
Gendo stared at the screen in front of him. This was intolerable, this was impossible, this was insane. The thought that his son had not only been able to seduce Rei, but had drawn her into a web of sexual ecstasy so strong that she had ignored regulations and assaulted Nerv personnel…
Suppressing a surge of pride in his son, he forced his mind back on track.
“Is there anyway of separating the two that does not cause massive damage to the surrounding area?”
*Low Probability*
“How low?”
*.05 percent*
Frowning, Gendo wished once more that the Magi could report things in a reasonable matter somewhere between data deluge and data dehydration. You could get a thousand page report on a simple question requiring days to sort or you could deal with simple answers that always lead to more questions. It was like pulling teeth to get the information he needed. The only saving grace to the Magi system was the fact that the data could be relied upon to be correct.
“What is the plan?”
*Terminate both pilots and incinerate all clones simultaneously. Launch the ashes of Pilot Ikari into the Sun and Pilot Ayanami’s into deep space.*
Gendo sat quietly, knowing that the Magi didn’t have a sense of humor and was unlikely to have developed one in the last five minutes and tried to deal with what he had just read off the monitor in front of him.
“What is the best way to minimize the effects of their new relationship on our projects goals?”
*************************
Misato awoke to the ringing of her phone. Stretching and yawning she glanced around and wondered why she was dressed and on the couch. A vague worry about her young charge’s absence floated through her mind, despite the Commander’s assurance that he would take care of things.
5 minutes later…
Misato sat frozen in place, the phone still in her hand.
'You've got to be kidding me.'
