RITSUKO, KAJI & MISATO<br/><br/>...from Gendo's office... (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=24331.msg954528#msg954528)<br/><br/><strong>"You'd like me to… coach Shinji?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Yes."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Show him… about…"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Sexual behaviours, yes. Look, Kaji, treat it as a work project, which is what it is. I need you to get closer to Shinji, become friendly and, man to man… teach him things."</strong>Ritsuko lit another cigarette and glanced at Misato. The Major leaned against a filing cabinet, arms folded, looking about as convinced as Kaji's tone of voice made him sound.<br/><br/><strong>"With Asuka?"</strong>Kaji glanced from woman to woman.<br/><br/><strong>"If necessary, yes. The data I've gathered so far isn't conclusive but the computer models prediction trends are clear. If our pilots lose their virginity and develop… stronger sexual appetites and… skills and such, we should see a synch rate rise of significant levels."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"What if she gets pregnant?"</strong>Misato asked.<br/><br/><strong>"That won't be a problem,"</strong>Ritsuko replied, coldly, blowing out smoke.<strong>"I <em>am</em> a doctor, and NERV's medical facilities are the finest in Japan."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"You're suggesting an abortion?"</strong>Misato looked shocked.<br/><br/><strong>"Of course. We can't give our top pilot maternity leave."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"And this project has been signed off?"</strong>Kaji asked, changing the subject.<br/><br/>(http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq131/renmei_2008/Misato-Ritsuko-Kaji.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>"Yes,"</strong>Ritsuko handed him a copy of the authorization.<br/><br/><strong>"At the highest level?"</strong>Misato raised an eyebrow.<br/><br/><strong>"At the <em>highest</em> level, yes."</strong><br/><br/>Kaji cast an eye over the standard form then passed it to the Major.<br/><br/><strong>"And what of Ayanami?"</strong>he asked.<br/><br/><strong>"I've just spoken with the Commander again. He has agreed to oversee the project's initial stages with Rei."</strong><br/><br/>Kaji's face remained passive. If there was a twinge of envy there it didn't show. Ritsuko turned to the Major.<br/><br/><strong>"Misato, as Asuka's and Shinji's legal guardian you are involved as well. The Commander would like the pair of you to take charge and introduce Asuka and Shinji to the whole subject. After initial data gathering I'd like them to come into my lab where I can run a series of controlled tests in a clean environment."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"You want them to have sex together on your examination couch?"</strong>Ritsuko shot a severe look at Kaji.<br/><br/><strong>"Once the trend is identified and if we gather positive results I would then like to increase the load somewhat. Ah… more than two people at once. Find out if there are certain things they prefer…"</strong><br/><br/>Kaji and Misato exchanged glances.<br/><br/><em>Group sex?</em><br/><br/><em>Fetishes?</em><br/><br/>No-one interrupted the doctor however.<br/><br/><strong>"Then, if it all goes as I think it will, we might try putting all the pilots together… I mean co-habiting. Misato, there are several NERV-owned empty apartments in your building. The three pilots could live next door to you, we can arrange a connecting door."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"I think, perhaps,"</strong>Kaji interrupted with a tactically placed cough,<strong>"The Major and I should discuss this in more detail. Shinji and Asuka don't have the closest professional relationship, do they? Living together alone is a long way off I think."</strong><br/><br/>Misato stood up, unfolding her arms. She glanced at Kaji and nodded.<strong>"Thank you Ritsuko. We'll accept the assignment. Kaji and I need to talk."</strong><br/><br/>The doctor stubbed out her cigarette,<strong>"I want a preliminary report in a week. If at any time sexual congress takes place I need the participants brought straight into NERV for a synch test. After the first week I want to see the three pilots at least once every forty-eight hours to run checks. After that… I want to run controlled tests here, but I will let the two of you set things in motion and give me your first report before that."</strong><br/><br/>Sharing another look, the Major and the Special Inspector left Akagi's office and set off down one of NERV's endless corridors.
