...So in conclusion: Great scores all around, good chemistry with her classmates. What can I say, we've got her a perfect student well on her way to some great things! [He smiles at Eileen]

On final thing: The School Band Advisor wanted Eileen to come more often to band practice. I understand she's been missing quite a lot of them? Now, I know this is a complicated situation but I strongly advise Eileen to commit her club duties.

>>48245499

>>48245772
I am glad to hear she is doing so well, though it sounds a little strange.

Eileen does have more than just the band as an extracurricular commitment, but she should still hold herself to her other hobbies.

I don't thinks it's a big concern, but I suppose it will be up to her to find the time again to commit to it.

>>48245772
I don't care if her teac-!
Oh. Well, that's great actually. I'm glad to hear she's been doing so well. Unfortunately Eileen might not have the time to commit to her clubs like we would want.

>>48245772
She practicing at home when she has time. Between saving the world and saving the world.

>>48245772
Thanks for the input. I would love to help but Eileen's other activities are quite demanding in terms of the scheduling. Among other things.

Would taking private lessons instead of skipped band practices work? Or is the collective part vital? I'm sorry, music is not my forte.

Oh- Are you hurt? I-is that, is that blood?

"Don't worry about me, I've had far worse. We need to keep going."

If we can't call in a transport we need to continue on foot. Commandeer a working vehicle as soon as we can. Our authority is great, and if that doesn't work scare them out with the gun.

Thinking about it, we might have wanted to stay at the school and wait for transport. It was only a matter of time until someone with their head on straight realized we were at the school for the meeting and sent a helicopter.

>>48247252
Keep moving, yes, and yes.

We'll head towards the nearest NERV checkpoint and see if their radio works.
Look and see if you can spot any other NERV personnel.

"Oh ... It's not that much blood. And it's not the first time you see it, right?"

Let's continue on foot until we can find another vehicle.
We should really invest in a better communication system. Loosing communication with everyone each time we fight an Angel is absolutely unacceptable.

>>48247252
Just a scratch, hon.
Come on, if you aren't hurt we should get moving. Lets get out of the road and figure out a way to contact HQ.

>>48247620
I'm an high ranking official and I suppose earth isn't gonna save herself? I suppose that counts.

>>48247620

"It's less of a coercion and more of an emergency loaning. Also I'm pretty sure NERV will compensate them for the trouble. But yeah, I will. I don't know what's going on but the sooner we get to the HQ the sooner we can put it to stop."

>>48247620
Eileen, this war against the Angels has put everyone on the edge. If we want to live, and if we want to help the people we love, we need to take action. We need to always take action.

>>48247620
We're going to have to. Unless someone from HQ can triangulate our position.

[Is there any cover or something similar nearby? And how long was it between shots? I think we need to start assuming that either the Major or Eileen is being targeted intentionally unless the swath of destruction is a lot larger than I think it is.]

>>48247620
Its manifest destiny or eminent domain or something. Allows me to appropriate civilian equipment for national security. Or global security as the case may be.

>>48247620
I'll give it back to them later.
Or NERV will pay for a better one.

>>48247730
The laser seems to be taking pot shots, the odds of us getting hit twice are low.

>>48247747
He says before being kill-satted to oblivion.

>>48247747
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this range"

>>48247747
That's kind of my point. Eileen's school gets almost hit, the Major's car gets totaled and we can't use NERV and duct tape magic to drive away perfectly fine. Both relatively close in how many districts Montreal-3 has.

If you are trying to say we are the target, I don't really buy it. The major and the kids are big targets, but if the aim is to assassinate us than several men with guns would have as good a shot as a poorly targeted laser and would be a lot cheaper. If it's an Angel, It would be better off shooting at the HQ.

I don't know.

[Eileen]
E-Eva 03? Who's piloting?!

>>48247747
How would it aim at us? How would it even know?

Unless we're running with the idea that Eileen has trace of Angel in her from the whole manifest-in-LCL incident and the thing on orbit can somehow sense that.

But hell, we don't even know it is an Angel, could he hijacked satellite.

>>48247889
Judging by the strong AT field, probably Florence.

While I would love to get to her right now, we need to move in the opposite direction. Because I'm pretty damn sure Unit03 is what the orbital thing is shooting at. And we don't want to be anywhere nearby when it does.

>>48247889
Uhm ... I'm not sure that a good idea but ... We could like ... you know uhm ... climb on the EVA until it notice us.

I just had a thought, maybe the bursts of damage occur when the lazer has built up a charge and fires it all at once, and maybe it has been aiming at the HQ this whole time. If that is true, it would be a really really bad idea to continue towards the HQ.

We need to find another route or we will get blown to bits before we get close.

>>48247889
Move away from the Eva.

Unless there's a personnel elevator by the umbilical exit. Then let's go there.

I'm taking back my vote to go to the HQ, we need to find another way. Maybe there is a way in through an elevator near the umbilical connection like anon said.

We still don't know how it got this close without us noticing, this is troubling. We'll need a full investigation once- [He sighs] if we successfully destroy it.

It appears this one originated from the Mare Imbrium on the moon. [He sighs again] It means The Sea of Showers or Rains in Latin.

As of right now this Angel demonstrated two methods of attacking : a very focused antielectron beam, not unlike our Positron technology, and some kind of EMP blast. The latter is why our communication grid is down since the attack.

Our main problem is its location: the Ninth is in low-orbit. We first tried to launch modified ASM-135 ASAT missiles but it shot those down easily. I then cleared the use of the Solomon Cannon in hope it would change the Angel's trajectory and it did. We now have some breathing room to organize a counter-attack.

Has MAGI finished an analysis? Can we even get an analysis with the Angel in orbit?

>>48249313
Good call, that was the last "safe" shot we had with Solomon Cannon but considering the circumstances, it was well spent.

If I recall my classes right, low orbit is still quite a spectrum, anywhere between 200 kilometers and ten times as much. What we actually can get up there?

Unfortunately we cannot. This is outside the MAGI's sensor range. We could always make a pass with Chariot's radar dish but considering how the 9th Angel took out those missiles I would advice against it.

>>48249372
There's a chance we won't need to get anything up there. The Angel is 300km high and falling because of the Solomon shot - it might not be able to keep its altitude. We won't be sure until it drops below 140km.

In any case, we have two days at most before it regains a possible firing position.

>>48249582
dont you think that you can arm our wings with some n2, fighters and all?

do we have some long range guns that arent the positron cannon?

>>48249582
What about the EVA launch system? I know I cleared something to deal with the last orbital angel before it came down to us.

>>48249582
The last Angel that attacked from such a distance decided to come down for a meet and greet. I doubt this time we will be so lucky.

We either need to send nonconventional forces up to it, or blast it out of the sky. 2 days should be enough time to see if we can potentially get EVAs ready for combat in space. Otherwise, we will hit it as hard as we can from here.

>>48249582
So we need to start preparing for both alternatives now and then finalize the plan depending on whether it stays up or goes down.

Think we can get something useful from analyzing areas impacted by the attack?
I would like to know if the EMP blast can disable EVA Unit. But I can imagine we're working with limited data here.

>>48249671
I wonder if we can send an EMP back at it. The fact it can use such an attack might suggest it uses similar energy systems. It's not worth betting on, but maybe an experiment will show something.

>>48249582
Prepare a emergency space combat simulation just in case.

>>48249629
Even if we arm ourselves with N2s, we cant get close to it major. Everyone will get blasted apart and die before the N2s get close.

>>48249712
There's still idea of sending multiple missiles from all direction and getting some through because it's not able to shoot down all of them.

I'm surprised no one dissected all the fast frames in the opening yet.

>>48249671
Can't we use both plans? Attack from space and air? We can use weapons that can't be show down from the ground while the EVA's are out of range.

Actually, wouldn't the EVAs just be shot out of the air like the missiles?

>>48249760
>>48249582

Overloading it's ability is a good plan, but expensive. And if it can shoot 1 missile every several seconds, but it can shoot the missiles while they are 2 minutes out then it's pointless. We need it's range.

I'm working with the assumption cadence of the attacks is similar to what we've seen so far. Between Eileen's school getting hit and the attack in the middle of traffic jam t had to be good 5 minutes at least. If it works more like danmaku then it would be useless, yes.

We could scrap together some random stuff to try and make a shield for the decoy Eva to increase survivability. Florence has the strongest AT field and is technically expendable, her in Unit 03 is our obvious choice for the bait mission. ;~;
We need some hard data on the angel's beam attack such as rate of fire and how quickly it can change targets etc, but this might be plausible if the facts check out. What do you guys think?

Warning: I came up with this idea so it's probably horrible and we shouldn't even consider it.

More barrages would be better, but I'd prefer a plan that doesn't involve someone sticking their neck off and hoping it's thick enough to jam the guillotine.

>>48249846
>>48249911

Several missiles were taken out in the blast, so it at the least has the capacity to hit more than one. And for it's main cannon the recharge is very very long. We also don't know if the missiles were blown up in the main blast or a smaller separate blast. And this one is The Sea of Showers, it might have a few tricks regarding fire rate.

You're right though, it's worth a try. And attacking from several angles against a glass cannon is the best shot we have.

>technically expendable
Take that back you scum!

Is it really bait though? If we can guarantee her safety until close contact she would have a real chance to do some damage.

We can put a Evangelion unit up there. It'll cost a fair bit, but it is feasible.

I must warn you, Major, that this would require utmost precision in execution. An orbital interception would leave no place for mistakes so the time window for the attack will be extremely short. Furthermore, the Evangelion Unit would be alone with 5 minutes of internal power. You could call this an all-or-nothing situation.

The other option is to wait it out and take the chance that it will drop out of orbit. If it ever happens we'll have the advantage. Our city is heavily defended, we know the terrain, how to use it, and we would have the entirety of our conventional forces to back the Evangelion Units in the fight.

Since you're the Head of Tactical Operations I guess it's up to you to decide.

Which one is it going to be, Major?

>>48250852
let it descend. With our luck we'll need every eva operational, and we'll probably still have to duct tape the zweileens together and jury rig another.

>>48250852
Our power is in our flexibility. We will wait to see if it drops out of orbit, even though my gut tells me it won't.

If it doesn't drop out of orbit, we can attempt a two stage missile barrage with an EVA shooting it from the ground and see if it shows us any more of it's tricks. If it lands, I'll want a better reading from MAGI.

With our luck, the Angel will just show us something new and blow up the EVA after changing to another form.

>>48250852
Wait for it to drop out of orbit and launch some missiles occasionally to figure out the range on it's defenses. The orbital interception would be a good idea but with our recent luck we would probably lose another pilot and maybe an entire EVA. Also what's the ETA on David's EVA? and has someone slapped some sense into that new kid?

>>48250852


>>48250870
>>48250958
^

>>48250852
The Angel was able to make it to Earth from the moon and take up a stable orbit; I believe we must assume it is capable of reestablishing itself there, even after having been knocked into an earthward bound trajectory.

>>48251004
Additionally, if it was unable to generate powered flight to some degree, it would not have been able to fire off its particle beam freely without drastically altering its path or even freeing its self from stable orbit entirely.

>>48251004
It could simply be making the decision to travel to the ground after it saw we have the positron weapon and can shoot it.

Majors Majors Majors.

We are all making a huge mistake here. We are trying to fight non-humans that use non-human tactics and firepower using Human tactics and Human firepower.

If we want to defeat an Angel, we need to think like an Angel.

[Head, Science Division]
This is the 8th time we fight one of their kind and we have won every time. We did so using every bit of advantage we had: our city, our units, our tactics. We prevailed through our versatility and flexibility. If we try to intercept this Angel in low orbit we'll have neither.

I stand by the ''wait until it falls'' plan.

>>48248346
>Husker
>looks just like Edward James Olmos

cegremo you card

>>48251127
>agree with Head of Science Division

I'm having second thoughts about letting it fall...

So we have two days at most before it regains firing position. What's its velocity and acceleration now? If it looks like it's going to reestablish itself, can we predict a lowest point to intercept it at?

I want to crash the ISS into an angel you guys

>>48251127
How about we ensure it falls instead?

We can launch a lower risk interception mission with the goal not of killing the angel, but forcing it to crash land. Our goal won't be to kill it, but to scare the hell out of it and pressure it into falling. This way we leave nothing to chance.

Of course, we risk the angel retaliating with an unforeseen ability. There's also the fact that we'll have one less Eva on the ground for the actual battle. But if we succeed in this, we can control the circumstances of the battle entirely and stay on the offensive throughout the entirety of it.

>>48251127
Yes, there won't be an EVA intercept. I still want to attempt a missile barrage though.

>>48251229
Getting the EVA anywhere near this thing, which shoots approaching targets with lasers, is a risk all on it's own. Even if you say low-risk, it's not low risk at all at just by trying to get near.

>>48251229
I agree with this anon. I just don't know how the hell we're gonna force it to go to ground. Fill the sky around it with explosions? Hit it with EMP?

Also any EVA we send up without some kind of diversion would be a out in the open and just as likely to have itself knocked out of orbit or crashland. We all saw what happened when the first Florence crash landed...

>>48251295
I think we are going to have to combine tactics, missile barrage while sending an EVA up there.

>>48251257
When I say "low risk," I mean low risk compared to the objective being to kill the angel with the interception. Of course this is still going to be extremely dangerous.

>>48251295
>>48251331
The real question is, what does our Eva do when it makes contact? We need a plan for it to knock the angel out of orbit, otherwise this is pointless.

Maybe Florence can do some AT wizardry to destabilize the angel's descent? We don't need to deal any real damage to it, we just have to knock it off course some more and make sure it falls.

I finished catching up, and there are several things I want to point out.

1. Rachel is best girl, but Sophie actually has sense. Rachel sees us as another lay and has already mentioned getting back with Asian girl. We are friends that had sex, she doesn't see it as anything more and neither should we, especially since she started it. Sophie true best girl. Seafood when.

2. Whoever knew what they were doing with the two webms didn't finish their work on the two maps. I'm guessing they are trying to grow an Angel down there, the 'egg'. It will probably kill us all if we don't stop it.

3. In the last Angel fight, Clair (Captain, Bombardment Wing) Just said "Alright, that's enough idling around. Drop the kid." and dropped first child without our orders.And Ace Squadron made an unauthorized sortie. We need to make sure people actually obey our orders. I blame Clair for her death, things might have worked out better if we had waited a bit and dropped her on the angel instead of the shell.

Also, why would you make fun of a kid?

>>48251370
>>48251127
Other thing is what about reentry for our EVA and pilot?

Because I half-jokingly thought of having them surf the angel down then realized what would our EVAs do up there to actually get down.

>>48251370
Maybe she can have an AT flare in hand? but if we did that all the EVA would be is a delivery system, which is stupid.

>>48251430
We shouldn't send an EVA up unless someone has a clear idea on how to get the EVA up there, do some damage to actually make the sortie mean something, and get out.

Remember, it might be landing anyway. It's stupid to just head up in the sky to grab on and see what happens.

Oh yeah, the Cannon is supposed to be really unstable now, right? If the Core start any weird shit Florence only needs to drop the rifle, it won't survive the fall.

Yeeaaah... Science, R&D, I need more opinions on that. The plan sounds good in theory, but I have my doubts about dropping the rifle if it starts acting spooky. For all we know, it could generate an AT field and survive reentry and destroy half a continent when it crash lands.

>>48251549
Problem with just dropping the Solomon cannon is assuming that it'll let itself be let go and that nothing underneath will be damaged by the fall. We'll need pick a clear zone for the shot. But if we do that we should still look into the angel's predicted lowest point for the best attack vector, maybe even use the missiles to try to force it lower.

I'm remembering how Vancouver started off.

>>48251597
Actually I think they pumped Angel blood into Anna. Remember how they were experimenting on her?

>>48251549

I'm still against taking an EVA up there. There are too many risks. A single shot from that main attack could bring an EVA down. And too little to gain.

We can launch missiles at at, maybe even include some of that explosive anti-AT stuff from the last Angel the research team cooked up. If you guys want to guarantee it falls, that should do it.

Plan 1: Florence in Eva 8 with the Solomon Cannon strapped into the Eva cradle on Chariot. Heart and Acorn support.
Florence needs to shoot the thing with the Cannon, attempting to force it to land.

Plan 2: Missile Bombardment from range. Missiles are loaded with conventional and anti-AT armaments and attack from different angles.

Is Iconic Field Quest off the table then?

>>48253300
honestly, it looks like a lot of it's going to be me sperging on about irish, scottish, and french lore and somehow trying to fit that in with the larger context of the quest and the abiogenesis project. i'm also going to try the map/symbol layover, but i'm not entirely convinced that's the right approach to that particular problem.

>>48253297
i'm noticing that. it's not all bad, and really the different versions interacting with each other was really interesting and made up for some of the rougher earlier parts. the author really doesn't shy away from letting his opinions be known about certain characters, though, and that's kind of grating to read when you have your own opinions about best girls and a distinct lack of riot shields.

About the thinking like an Angel thing. How about we pull together our bio-mass and form a large mirror?

Wasn't someone working on a homebrew or something inspired by this quest? I've been thinking of trying something myself but I don't really know where to start.

>>48253300
i guess it's more of a fanwork? modern media don't know how to categorize it, etc.

>>48253300
>Is NBS considered a Fanfic?
I, Uhhhh,
I don't think it is. It's a game. It doesn't have the original characters either, so no.

>>48253326
>>48252881
I'd join it if I see it. I'm fully caught up and am not a bluttering moron, so I'd probably be able to add a few words at least.

>>48253505
You start with a thread.
I recommend having people vote. NERV guy doesn't have votes and still has discussion, but he can get away with it since it's a big quest. Having votes forces discussion

>>48253552
I meant a game system based on the NBS concept, not another actual quest.

>>48253332
I don't know. It looks cool but once NBS ends I'd like to try making a quest with an OC setting. And since I already have 2-3 quest in the works...

Maybe a one-shot sometime.

I'm only threading in the footsteps of the Master. For real though I try to have things make sense.

>>48253615
Oah.
Well I'd set it up so that the players pick an officer position. Head of finance (Maybe not Finance, that could get boring unless they get really into the roleplay), Tactical operations, Science, CAG, ect. Maybe even open up pilot.
After they choose a position, they craft a character. Combat might go the same as it does here, but that would put a very heavy strain on the GM.

Actually, to run a campaign properly, the GM would have to do a lot of work for each player. Maybe all the players could play together in a single position, make 4 Major heads of tactics.

>>48253114
gah it's happening again

>>48253646
you can only follow the master if you make the major vs godzilla after this

>>48253728
Give your players a small part to play - Say, put a party of four in command of all the ground units. Then just have the larger battle play out around them.

I knew that bug thing was familiar. It was directly under Ophelia in the ground when we were investigating MAGI. Thread 9.

>>48254152
Shit son, and here I am trying to overlay the damn thing on the map with fucking Paint.
I think the dots in the circle are where the various Ophelia's are located and connected to the Magi and probably the EGG thing.

>>48254207
It could still mean something with the map, we just know for sure it's associated with Ophelia. Likely with the Angel(s) as well.

>>48254255
Well there are 8 dots in the circle and we've killed 8 Angels.

>>48254207
>various Ophelia's
In the first webm it listed the interviewed Ophelia as one of at least 12. Perhaps there are currently 8, one for each dot and the previous have died or been discarded.The Spokes on the circle/wheel are each for an Angel maybe? The lines and curves are a map?

>>48254285
That would imply there are only 8 Angels, and we know there are more.

>>48254152
Just writing things down.

There are 6 interior lines (2 curves, 4 straight lines)
There are 7 lines radiating out from the circle
There are 8 dots (two filled in, 6 hollow)
And there is the circle itself.

>>48254312
>>48254348
Could the filled dots be where there are active Opheila's and the hollowed ones for the deactivated ones?

Reminder friendos : If you ever need some inspiration on how a slightly more "Preservation of Human Life" oriented Bridge is run you can always check out Fafner, which was inspired by Eva by spiraled off into it's own things.

You'll also learn the value of making it so your that your home base can detached sections of itself to either be used as bait or bombs.

Also the value of keeping your emotionally unstable pilots mental health an active priority of the staff so they don't do something stupid inside the giant robot.

>>48254377
welp let's not let Carl near any of the EVA's for a while. That's another thing that we have to deal with soon.

>>48254375
I don't know, but in the image we are given in the video there are two filled and 6 hollow, while in the old image from when we met Ophelila It looks like all of them are filled in, apart from one which is probably filled in but might be hollow.

Maybe the new head of Science really went to town in cleaning Ophelia and killed all but two of her.

>>48254425
Didn't the last Angel take longer to scan than the others? Could be he reduced the amount of Ophelia's to the bare minimum number needed to work the MAGI?

>>48254460
I think you're right. After Ophelia opened all the doors for us when he arrived and all the strange things happening in science under the previous heads perhaps he got suspicious of Ophelia.
The Scan took longer than it normally does and he called it an improvement.

>>48254481
We need to make another run into the restricted areas and try to find another Ophelia.

>>48254494
She told us it's already too late for her. Best we can do is plug in that virus and nuke the whole system to put her out of her misery.

>>48254542
But if the Ophelia's run the MAGI system and the virus nukes the system and the Egg, won't we lose the ability to scan the Angels? Does that mean we need to plan a route to the place where we need to plug in the virus and haul ass to it when the final fight goes down?

>>48254494
>>48254542
No, it's no good guys. The second video.


[Dr. Hughes] What are youtrying to achieve here Phillip?
[Dr. Hughes] She's nothing more than a mean to connect with the nutered Egg
[Dr. Hughes] Soon the MAGI won't even need all these... superfluous bits

MAJOR
THIS HDD CONTAINS A VIRUS
IT WILL KILL THE MAGI AND A PART OF THE EGG
I WILL ALREADY BE GONE BY THEN
USE IT BEFORE THE END
GOODBYE


The egg is what is doing the processing, Ophelia is probably there to interpret the processing power of the egg, which I will guess is an Angel. They are currently in the process of killing all of the Ophelias, and she knew it was coming. Anon was right about the hollow dots and filled in dots.

I'm guessing this egg is the BIG SECRET AND MASTER CARD that science and Commander have been hiding. It might be the doomsday card we need to kill at the end.

>>48254542
>>48254559
If we are going to plug this thing in, we should make sure we know what the egg actually is.

Anyway I need to sleep. Putting bits together can wait till after work if the thread is up.

>>48254566
So we need to find where it is keep and plan our route for when we need to nuke it's ass.

>>48254585
meh, I'll make a thread for discussion around 6 or 7 EST tomorrow. We need to crack these secrets soon

>>48254599
I'll be there at the least.

>>48254618
>>48254599
I might be posting speculation and going over term origins in the meantime.

>>48253300
So... the angel under Vancouver...

Was it a result of the abiogenesis project and/or producing human-angel hybrids (Florence?)

The plot thickens.

This might all be caffeine and sleep deprived fueled speculation, so take this all with a grain of salt:

So, NERV Montreal's logo is: "Sic Nos Sic Sacra Tuemur," or , "Thus We Defend our Sacred Rights." Suitably NERVy, but its originally the motto of the McMahon family of the Thomond sept, a native British isles clan that was eventually defeated and emigrated to France. Not a lot to go on, but some information, and NERV is knowingly using the motto of a clan that was defeated but survived and had to become something else.

Things get more interesting when we take into account NERV Montreal's Longinus equivalent, the Crocea Mors, or "Yellow Death." According to legend, the Crocea Mors was Julius Caesar's sword that, during the invasion of Britain by the Romans, stuck in the British prince Nennius' shield. Nennius used the sword himself, killing everyone it struck, before he himself died of a head wound inflicted by Caesar during the same battle he took the Crocea Mors.

This is where I go officially off the deep end. The Crocea Mors is taken from the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who also wrote the Prophetiae Merlini. Purely speculation, but as we haven't seen Montreal's Dead Sea Scrolls yet and we've already used some of Geoffrey's terminology, I'm willing to bet that this might be it. In the Prophetiae Merlini, two dragons fight, a red dragon, the British, and a white dragon, the Saxons, and Merlin predicts the Saxons win.

My theory is that whoever has our Dead Sea Scrolls equivalent reads that the Angels win and humans are doomed despite using Angel tech and weapons against them. NERV is an attempt to stall the invasion while EVAs, the Human Abiogenisis Project, being dicks to Anna, Vancouver Angels, and whatever the egg is are all attempts to elevate or merge humanity to Angel status. Ophelia, pre-head wound Major, and allies either disagreed or found another way.

Here's a partial list of questions:
What's up with the purple plug? (Jet Alone? Rei-2 death?)
Why does the screen flash at the purple plug?
What relation does 'ladybug' have to Ophelia?
What relation does 'ladybug' have to the MAGI storage?
Does 'ladybug' symbolise anything? (Lillith mask?)
What is the shape at 1:09? (Map? Globe? NERV positions?)
What does the glove mean? (Commander burn? Rei/Ikari? Adam hand?)
What is Abogenesis?(Instrumentality? Adam hand? SEELE?)
What does the motto symbolise? (McMahon?)
What does Crocea Mors symbolise? (Caesar? Nennius?)
What is the Dead Sea Scroll equivalent? (Merlin's prophecy?)
What is Science's tie to Commander? (Instrumentality/Abogenesis?)
