Ouch. Doesn't look like this will turn out well.
*Looks around.*
*as the people there go about figuring out their current problem, a lone soldier walks up to shinji*
Soldier: *salutes shinji*
Shinji: *nods*
What's the big rush? We need you here, soldier.
Soldier: I have a plan that might get us out of this alive. Welll... It would guarantee this ships survival, sir.
Shinji:....... go on.
Soldier: ..... The Jericho Protocol.
Shinji: *almost immediately reaches out, smacking the soldier in the face*
DO YOU EVEN REALIZE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT!?!?!? THATS SUICIDE!
Soldier: *take the slap full on, but doesnt flinch*
I'm sorry sir... our main goal here isnt to get ourselves out... just this ship with you on it.
Shinji: Do I look like I give a damn!?!? Not another life gets lost to these fuckers! Not one! We've lost so many already! Get your head in the game. Theres got to be another way.
Soldier: even with the Protocol... our odds of survival on this ship are 60% flat. It's not guaranteed, but it's a better shot than just laying down, and dying here.
Shinji: Corporal Miguel, I admire your willingness to put your life down... but .... you know I can't let you do that.
Miguel: I understand.... that's why this is off the books. I'm doing this for you.
Shinji: Miguel... dont do this.....
*tears up slightly*
Miguel: Commander, my President, it has been an honor to fight alongside you for these past 12 years. Weve seen so many victories. There has to be more. We cannot end here. Your death would mark doom for the EDB. I cannot let that happen. You are their flame, Shinji. I refuse to let that go out.
*storms off towards the elevator, taking it down to the hangar*
-..... FUCK.
