[When the camera comes on, Rei's expression is totally devoid of the normal surprise or aggravation of a new arrival. She is standing beside the fountain in front of the mansion, still wearing her entry plug suit.]

I do not know how I am alive. [Her voice is soft and monotone.] This place is not Tokyo-3. Explain where I am and how I came to be here. Is the Commander here? Or the Third Child?

[She pauses for just a moment, then adds] Please respond.

It makes no difference when I tell you. If the Commander and the Major are not here, then I have no orders not to speak.

There is someone called the Major here, but I'm guessing that he's not the person you're looking for.

[ Slight pause and some page-flipping. ]

I'm also guessing that you're in a military troop of some sort? Though you look a bit young for that.

I referred to Major Katsuragi Misato of NERV, which is under the control of the UN.

Don't think that there's someone named Katsuragi Misato here. Never heard of NERV either. But I'm a member of the UN.

[ Wait, he was trying to remember what he's going to say earlier. ]

You should be careful of the Major. The one I've mentioned earlier, I mean, not yours. Try to avoid him.

Yes.

[That's all she says. If she's curious about how he's a member of the UN or why she should avoid the Major, it doesn't show.]

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

Good.

[ He's still curious about angels and NERV and stuffs like that, too, but it doesn't show either. ]

The FAQ told you how to get settled, right?

[Video]

[second-first.livejournal.com]

Yes. [She folds the paper carefully.] And another man.

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well then. I guess it's goodbye for now.

[Video]

[second-first.livejournal.com]

Goodbye.

[ Glancing up at her from the book before shifting his gaze back to it. ]

I'll talk to you later.

[ And he ended the connection. ]
