dzzthink: Rei descending to work on an operation involving Adam and the Lance of Longinus?
UrsusArctos: You mean "Rei descending to work on an operation involving Lilith and the Spear of Longinus", don't you? ;;> The use of "Adam" constitutes an Evangelion-sized red herring, but there's no point in pretending that she's working on anything other than Lilith, that secret's been out a good 25 years. Whether the real Adam is in that briefcase or somewhere else (*cough, cough*) at this moment is an open question.
Dr. Nick: Here we are also getting into those lore parts that have always remained quite murky, i.e. what are the exact "recipes" for the 3I scenarios desired by Gendo and Seele respectively, and how do they differ in specifics. We know that the spears are security devices for subduing progenitor entities, but that's about it. So what purpose does it serve to have Rei skewer Lilith's soulless body at this juncture?
