...... I'd be hesitant to include them. They would've been in the Ikari Shinji story already on some level, if they'd been mentioned at all. It's pretty important to me that, for the time being at least there's no other Eva characters out there aside from Gina and Rei..... it gives Shinji a genuine chance to grow. The point was, that the only touchstones available to Shinji were those two.....
NERV can exist. It just feels odd that 152 pages (Of Word) went by without them being mentioned in some way. Most would've had something to say..... Misato would've gotten in contact for sure, and Shinji would have noticed her name among the list. And since it's starting to wind up towards the finish I really don't want to have to completely rewrite the thing to fit them in properly.
NERV can exist.... I can make it 'Yeah, some martians used the name and trappings'.... but I'd like it so that there aren't too many familiar faces out there for Shinji. At least prior to 2024/5.
And you'd want to be careful about bilking 40 billion from the US government..... both in universe, and as a plot point.
