At last we are to meet him,
The famous Captain Spaulding.
From climates hot and scalding,
The Captain has arrived.
Most heartily we'll greet him,
With plain and fancy cheering.
Until he's hard of hearing.
The Captain has arrived.
At last - The Captain has arrived.
The Captain, who was not the same Captain as his namesake in "Animal Crackers", having more in common with unrelated characters winced as he heard the music echo across the tarmac. Hopefully he could find out what he was needed for and get the heck out of here. He heard Gendo was a rampaging megalomaniac, and you got enough of that around the Pentagon.
Shinji didn't realize that he was at 20% when he crawled off to find the bathroom.
He didn't know anything was different until he saw himself in the mirror and gawked. When had he developed muscle tone?! Maybe he was still dreaming?
The door slowly opened into Rei's apartment.
A Rei slowly made her way into the room, followed by another, and another, and another.
In any crisis, there are always those who rise to the occasion and go beyond the call of duty.

"Well, at least it isn't that computer graphic of two guys doing the Tango," said Nurse Kelly as she gestured at the TV screen.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," said Corporal O'Reilly.
"We are poor little lambs,
Who have lost our way,
Baa baa baa."
"So we've got old episodes of 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' on Channel 12, the 'Muppet Show' on Channel 11, and a 'Monty Python' marathon on Channel 10?" asked Captain Spaulding, wondering why people summoned him all the way from NERV's American branch for this.
"That appears to be the case," admitted Nurse Kelly. "Though on Channel 9 we seem to have the Monty Python cast guest starring on the Muppet Show."
"Sir! Another weird happening here!" Another Corporal came running up.
"What is it Corporal.?"
"We've just gotten 10,000 cases of something called Arrogant Bastard Ale delivered. It appears to be a strong microbrew beer, but it is addressed to the Commander from the Los Angeles Angels."
Colonel Spaulding considered that. "You know. If we allow that to be delivered to the Commander, he'll take offense. You five. Get Channel 9 on the monitors. We'll have to personally inspect each and every bottle to make sure it isn't some sneaky trick!"
"YES SIR!"
Lillith continued to change. Sections of flesh became more detailed and defined. Flesh oozed around the giant's hands as she fell forward, almost landing on the ejected Lance Of Longinus. Her tail trailed behind her as the Second Angel landed with a splash that set the LCL sea to churning.
There would be no Third Impact involving goo, that potential having been eliminated. Though there could still be a Third Impact, it was now of an entirely different shape. And since the Rei clones and Lillith were sympathetically linked - there were tiny "proto-impacts" that had occurred twice now.
"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars,
Let me see what spring is like, on Jupiter and Mars..."
Gendo frowned. While glad that the elevator music had changed, he wasn't that thrilled with the change.
Not to mention he had just heard about his car being towed away. "Report. How is the attempt to sever the power cables to the Magi going?"
His walkie talkie squawked briefly.
"We seem to have run into a snag, sir?"
"A snag?" Gendo wondered if he could grab a couple of Tums or would it blow his image?
"Yes sir, a security camera in the main shopping district reports seeing four Rei Ayanami, one of whom was flying."
Gendo waited for the doors to open before replying. "Put all members of Section 2 onto finding them." After all, he needed those to make the Dummy Plugs work.
