	309	A glove caught on a piece of iron flutters about. The camera captures severed cables, etc. OLD MAN J:“I don't care if it only makes a small difference! Keep the damage to an absolute minimum!” With noise and flickering, the camera drops and switches over to a steel tower. MAN K:“The atomic components are breaking up at the quark level! Hurry!” WOMAN D:“Begin thermal dampening treatment as soon as the Door of Guf opens.” MAN N:“I don't care if it's only for point one seconds!” Blasts of hot wind pull upwards against it. The image is jumbled. MAN L:“Amazing! It's begun to walk!” MAN N:“Get it to use up as much of its anti-AT Field energy as possible!” WOMAN E (RADIO):“The conversion system has already been set!” WOMAN F (SPEAKERS):“Countdown commencing!” MAN P:“It's spreading its wings! It's breaking towards the surface!” Then, deeper in, two glowing hands enter. The picture cuts off. The mark of the United Nations and a warning appear.	Mbryo: Here the Door of Guf(ガフの扉) is mentioned for the first time in the series. The term itself is borrowed from Judaic lore, referring to the 'resting place' or 'treasury' of souls known as Guf, meaning "body" in Hebrew. Guf is mentioned again later in the series, and seems to represent the same thing in the NGE universe as well. It's also worth noting that in Jewish mythology, Guf is merely a place that the soul resides in until it is conceived; the actual source of souls is the Tree of Life, which is also directly referenced in EOE when Unit 01 herself becomes the Tree by fusing with the Spear of Longinus. This particular dialogue seems to imply that Adam is capable of opening the Door of Guf just like Lilith, which is natural since he's a progenitor of life, as well as the one who bestowed souls upon his children, the Angels.
