A large archway with the yellow stripes to indicate danger was right after what seemed to be the fiftieth of those doors, and Shinji felt a little nervous at the prospect of going through it. Maybe it was the smell of ozone hanging around the thing.
Ritsuko went through first.
"Ritsuko Akagi. Director - Research Division," said the archway. "Security Clearance - A-1."
Misato seemed a little more uncertain about going through the archway. "This has been fixed, right?"
"It's perfectly safe," assured Doctor Akagi.
"That's what you said the last time," pointed out Misato. "I ended up in a latex bondage suit hanging in Security Cell 4."
"A minor adjustment to the security protocols," said Ritsuko. "There's no chance of that happening now."
Misato took a deep breath and stepped into the archway.
"Misato Katsuragi. Director - Operations Division," said the archway. "Security Clearance - A-4."
"See," said Ritsuko. "Nothing wrong."
Misato was clearly not trusting of the machine as she looked back at it as if expecting it to come after her.
Shinji took his own deep breath and stepped forward.
"Shinji Ikari. Designated Pilot Candidate. Security Clearance A-9. Please do not attempt entry to red bordered sections."
Shinji relaxed slightly.
"So that's Shinji?" asked Commander Fuyutsuki, raising an eyebrow. "He's bigger than I expected."
Gendo smirked. "He takes after his old man, eh? None of the ladies ever complained."
"That wasn't what I meant," said Fuyutsuki, looking pained. "He's taller than you are."
"Takes after his mother's side of the family," explained Gendo. "Yui was into Track & Field too, remember?"
"Takes after his mother's side? THAT could be a problem," said Fuyutsuki. "You mean that he's...?"
Gendo smirked in reply.
