From Synthesia Chapter 8 (link above)
Will the transhumanist future have catgirls? Does Japan still exist? Well, there is your answer.
Quote:"Well, I know, the production model beats it!" Asuka said, assuredly,-----
just as the deck beneath them shook. Quickly, all of the children
charged out of the cargo area and to a rail. "It looks like I get to
prove it!" The Second Child grinned, as they saw a large shape carve its
way through the water, smashing into, and through, one of the carrier
fleet's tender vessels. "Come on, let's go!"
The First Child and
the military otaku followed Asuka down a set of stairs and to a locker,
where she pulled out several bright red plug suits and tossed two of
them at the others. "What is our course of action?" Rei asked, looking
dubiously down at her suit.
"We're going to fight the Angel, and you two are coming with me," Asuka replied.
Kensuke
looked like Christmas had come early, even though his first gift was a
pair of black socks as he looked down at the plugsuit in his hands. That
was, of course, until Rei reached over and removed it from them. "Huh?"
he asked, confused.
"NERV subsidiary regulation 22141-C, Kensuke
Aida is not allowed within one meter of an Entry Plug except in the
direst of emergencies," Rei stated, deadpan. "Please report to the main
deck and return to the carrier."
As Kensuke left the area,
climbing back up the stairs, Asuka looked at the other girl strangely
while removing her dress. "You made that up, didn't you?"
Rei said nothing.
