Giant Robot Check-In

[hotshots]

Or things that are much LIKE giant robots.

So I figure it probably pertinent for those of us with freshly echoed giant robots/horrifying monstrosities/what have you to pick this discussion back up now that we're time-wise on the other side of Wise Snake.

What we do know is that the FBI will try to confiscate the Gundams/Evas to some capacity for the moment, but with the pilots still being able to oversee them, which is good since the Gundams and the Evas are locked to their pilots in one manner or another, but how is this to go about? That's mostly a mod question I'd suppose.

Really, I don't suppose any character is going to be in much of a position to stop the FBI from doing this for now, but if anyone is it'd probably be good to speak up~

As far as Neil is concerned, as the oldest of this motley crew of pilots, he's going to try and take some responsibility for the younger ones. (re: all of them) He would be trying ASAP to speak with the FBI and/or National Guard to try and leverage his military history and "hey we just saved the city" to get some cooperation. Which is the key thing - for right now, he's going to want to cooperate with the FBI if they're the ones overseeing the mecha.

But now that we've had some more experience with everything, does anyone else have any intentions? Plans? Figuring out where these weapons of mass destruction get shoved is probably vital for any of us doing much of anything, so it seems like a good thing to discuss!

First off, look up at Shinji's post for further details about what Rei is going to be doing, specifically the status of her eva being unattended upon the time it is found because Rei refused to split up from Shinji. However, she has witnesses proving that she was the one who was who was given it. (Who are both fellow mech pilots, Banagher and Asuka). Also generally how eva's work because I don't want you guys to have to read the same things over and over. It's worth noting that Rei does NOT have her piloting abilities back. Yet.

Rei is going to be generally accommodating towards the FBI and their questioning aside from one thing: She will be extremely resistant when it comes to the idea of she and Shinji being split up, even for questioning. As his twin sister she feels an obligation to his safety and doesn't want him involved in anything that she can't oversee or protect him from. That said she'll be answering whatever she can and shooting down a lot of questions with a big fat "I don't know." She's a very smart young girl (she'll refer you to her monumental wikipedia page listing all of her years of hard work moderating and contributing to the site) and very much knows her rights. She will only become resistant and overall difficult to deal with if she feels her rights, which she knows very well, are being infringed on.

As far as her living situation goes, she's pretty much going to do whatever Shinji decides he wants to do and will fervently defend and fight for whatever it is that he wants out of the situation. So just refer to Shinji-mun's post for that!

Apologies for the delay in response!

The twins won't be split up. At this point in time, the FBI will be pretty gentle with their questioning and move onto the next whenever Rei digs in her heels. As mentioned above, the Eva units will be corralled with the Gundams at Locke City University's Mechanical Engineering Department. As long as the pilots are in good behavior, they shall be allowed access to their machines! (They probably need to go through some security check-in each time, but the FBI could make them badges to expedite the process in a week or two, assuming cooperative/good behavior.)

The pilots will have the freedom to return home whenever they want to, but again, will be monitored by the FBI.
