"I take it that your the guy in charge," Tsion said. "I have a few questions for you then. First, why did you choose me for this job? I never asked for something like this."Second, how do you people even know about me? From what I know, no one in my family ever had to do this and I know that I didn't sign up for something like this.
"And third, why do I have to do this? What's so important in the world that needs me?" He was basically begging for answers now.
" That would be me. "
Akitsu answered sternly. He turned to Akane, who saluted him respectfully.
" Gather the others. I think it's time the first test be initiated. "
when he looked back at Tsion he chortled softly.
" Rather, the second..."
As Akane nodded, and wheeled about, Akitsu turned back to Tsion.
" As for you. I cannot tell you anything at all until you pledge your allegiance to NERV. You were asked to come, not forced. What I will tell you is that your participation in this top secret organization is related to the well being of the human race. You were chosen because you have shown potential to aid us. I see we must have been mistaken now. "
A short, smug, grin crossed Akitsu's thin lips, as he knew he was hitting a weak spot. He pulled an access card out, and waved it before the boys face. It read his name, and all his information.
" So, sixth child, Are you in? Or are you out? "

"A pilot you say?"Marie pondered over this for a while. It was not at all what she had been expected and she could not even imagine how she would be able to pilot anything. Her classes was not at all based on aircrafting and when it came to airbourn technology, one could probably learn more from a hamster than Marie herself. She however held a great smile and took a new grup of Adrian's hands. She looked her into the eyes and had one of her hands go under the chin of the young girl. She lifted it up for their eyes to meet and met her face with a smile.
"What have you been going trough? You are a wreck, girl! What dwells in your clauset?"
She looked at the shirt and pants of Adrian before back into her eyes with a grin across her lips.
For a moment Adrian saw the question in Marie's eyes. She saw, what was even, perhaps, a hint of doubt. At first this confused her, but then she realised she wasn't even supposed to know they would be piloting anything. Not until later that day, of course. She felt the girl's grasp on her hands tighten for a moment, before one of them raised to glide along her chin. A chill ran down Adrian's spine, and she swallowed, closing her eyes for a short moment before answering. She noticed the girl's eyes had fallen from her face for a moment, and let her own eyes wander a short distance before she commanded them back up.
" N-not to worry. The piloting. It's not as hard as it sounds. I was nervous at first too, but when you get inside the Eva you know a part of yourself is -"
Adrian stopped herself. Why was she going on about this? She wasn't quite braced for Marie's next question, and felt instantly embarrassed.
Is there something....wrong with me?
She opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a loud rapping on the door. Adrian, one one hand, was extremely thankful. On the other hand, a part of her begged to stay here, with Marie. biting down on her lower lip softly, she let go of Marie's Other hand.
" I'll get that. "
She held her gaze for just a moment and then retreated to the door, and pulled it open. Akane grinned and pushed her head in, looking around. With a soft laugh she winked.
"Just checking to make sure that Kevin boy wasn't in here...He seam's like trouble, ya know? Well, anyway, I came by to pick you guys up. The 6th child is here, and I think the 5th is a no show. Pity...Well, are you two ready to go?"
