Subject: FOURTH CHILDREN. STATUS REPORT 11
Original Document Language: Japanese
Authorised Translated copies: German. English. Russian. Chinese.
-----
The Fourth Children currently resides at a secure domestic facility with First, Second and Third Childrens. It is 8 weeks from her recovery. Is is 28 weeks from initial pre-contact and commencement of observation. She continues to show advancement in all monitored aspects.. There are currently no major causes for concern with her development. There continues to be a cause for concern over her hostility to the Fifth Children.
Her current status will be assessed as below:
Physical Health.
Mental Health.
Coworker relationships.
Social relationships.
Academic performance.
Effectiveness of Corrections .
Recommended Actions will be detailed afterwards.
**Physical Health.
The Fourth Children’s physical health continues to be excellent. She is responding well to physical training, as can be expected. It is difficult to believe that this is the same child who was in a hospital bed for eight months. By estimation, she is physically the strongest of all Children - including Third and Fifth - and certainly has achieved the highest endurance.
This Children continues to show a natural tendency towards physical activity, as expected. If mandatory training hours were reduced she would likely continue on her own initiative.
There are no observed lingering effects from her injuries. She has not reported any discomforts, and has not be seen to be attempting to hide any.
Kinesthetic abilities are otherwise acceptable with no causes for concer.
**Mental Health
The Fourth children is still suffering from fatigue from recent battles. Her mood and demanour have shown less of a negative swing compared to the Second. She has been disappointed by recent results, but is wilfully compliant with her orders and accepting of my authority and judgement in the matter.
Her outlook in life remains positive. She remains enthusiastic as a pilot. Her self-confidence is increasing.
Her interest in the opposite sex has continued to develop. She is now aware of her emotions and choosing how to act upon them. This has been accompanied by a marked increase in comfort with her own self-image. Self-experimentation continues as previously reported.
However, she continues to show minor neglect for her personal appearance - in comparison both to the Second and to expected social norms for a child of her age. It is thought that this is likely a consequence of her upbringing, and a lack of the usual social pressures that affect her peer group. It is not thought to be unhealthy or deleterious at this time and should not be considered as equivalent to the difficulties with the First Children.
She places a great deal of value on her position as a pilot. This may become an issue if this position is threatened. She has stated that she has nothing else in life.
**Coworker relationships
The relationship with the First is cool, but non-antagonistic. They have each reported mutually disturbed sleep from their close quarters with a resulting effect on mutual fatigue levels. No future difficulties are foreseen otherwise.
The relationship between the Fourth and Second children is becoming more strained. She is now more likely to stand up for herself and argue in her own favour with more of a desire to be seen as an equal, rather than a junior. The Second may be feeling threatened by this. Issues with the Third Children have not improved matters and may lead to a break in trust if care is not taken. These are further detailed in Second Children Status 108.
The relationship with the Third has culminated with the pair sharing a kiss, at the request of the Third Children. Although a clear and developing mutual attraction and interest exist, the Fourth has consciously chosen not to pursue a more intimate relationship at this time. Her decision is based on the belief that the Third Children is romantically interested in the First and an unwillingness to poison their mutual relationship. This may be to her detriment. An intimate relationship will be of immediate short term mutual benefit, but not if it is forced into being.
Relations with the Fifth have not improved. The Fourth is avoidant of his presence where possible, and openly antagonistic where it is not. This hostility is not reciprocated by the Fifth. No previous record of their meeting, nor any record of an incident or assault can be found. Thus far, there have been no negative consequences to their duties. If the situation deteriorates, immediate action may be required - by first determining the root cause - then by applying corrective mutual training, or removal from duty if the situation cannot be resolved amicably.
**Social relationships.
A friendship between the Fourth and a female classmate (G13-2C) continues without change. This child is Marduk Negative with no latent potential and has not been moved to 2A. The internet browsing history of this girl may provide some cause for morality concerns, and her influence on the Fourth. Her value as a ‘normal’ friend to the Fourth should not be underestimated - a similar friendship involving the Second and a classmate had a marked stabilising influence - and these relationships serve to ground the Children. This relationship can also be leveraged if needed to provide motivation. Due to the multiple benefits, it continues to be recommended that no action be taken to remove this influence.
An encounter with one of the Third’s peers (B02-2A) was reported. In the course of this encounter, the Fourth - when asked what sacrifices were required to become an Evangelion Pilot - fabricated a history explaining how she had once been male, that NERV had determined females are better suited to being a Pilot, and thus, that NERV had forcibly reassigned her gender to improve her capabilities as a pilot. Furthermore, she stated that a similar procedure had been begun with the Fifth, and had not been attempted on the Third due to time pressure only. Her motivations behind this fabrication remain unclear. Whether this is related to her self-image difficulties, or if she is aware of our influence on these, is not known. This story was relayed to the Third, who was concerned by the possibility and required reassurance. She will be warned against spreading misinformation to uncleared individuals. 'Misinformation' may not be.
There have been no reported incidences of overt bullying or conflict. Section II have reported that some students are privately noting her lack of concern with personal appearance, but have refrained from commenting due to her position.
The Fourth has not be subjected to any direct assaults or threats.The Fourth has not initiated any.
**Academic Performance
The Fourth Children continues to perform below the 90th percentile. This is the lowest of her class group, and the lowest of all Pilots. This is in line with her previous performance prior to hospitalisation - with allowances for linguistic comprehension - and is not thought to be a lingering effect of any injuries suffered.
Her literacy in Japanese continues to rank well below the Second Children, and below the expected progression of a Child of her age - even accounting for her upbringing. The school has recommended that she be removed to Class 2B for academic and vocabulary development purposes.
Nevertheless, she shows a high level of intrinsic knowledge, with a higher than usual level of ‘life skills’ for a child of her age group. She has recently demonstrated an ability to drive a vehicle in training, and has shown an aptitude for problem solving and home mechanical maintenance. Her capabilities with these skills approximate an adult in the age range of 25-30.
Her instructors have also reported a working familiarity with technical concepts and mathematics that are only taught in university courses. It is thought that she may have been tutored at home by her father who would have been familiar with these techniques.
This has allowed her to cover for her academic deficiencies in the short term.
**Effectiveness of Corrections .
Directed neural feedback therapy, along with a healthy dose of encouragement and directed positive feedback have finally corrected the unusual variances in the Fourth Children’s psychograph readings.
These corrections have been verified observationally and behaviourally, with the Fourth Children showing a markedly improved confidence and self-certainty within her body image. The improvement in the last three weeks especially has been remarkable.
She has shown an increased confidence and acceptance of herself as female. This corresponds with a reported return of a large majority of her life memories, and a step improvement in her linguistic skills. Her accent especially has disappeared.
Therefore, it is surmised that this variance was likely a consequence of her injuries and the psychological effects thereof.
--
** Recommended actions going forward.
-The Fourth is to be continued to be permitted to choose the course of her relationship with the Third. Further interference is not recommended. Close monitoring is required as this may change.
- The cause of the antagonism between the Fourth and Fifth to be further investigated. A qualified counsellor may be required.
-Efforts should be taken to limit any perceived competition between Second and Fourth. Training exercises should focus on mutual co-operation, with an emphasis on team scoring rather than individual performance.
-Neural feedback therapy to be maintained due to positive effects noted.
-The Fourth is to be warned about discussing NERV business with uncleared individuals.
-A request for larger accomodations has been logged (ARP-2015-22391-A). This should be prioritised within the MAGI system.
Further recommendations to be detailed by others as addenda to this report.
