The events surrounding the expedition and the true nature of Second Impact were largely covered up with neither the public nor lower-ranking employees of [[Nerv]] knowing the truth.


==Background==
[[Seele]] funded the project, led by the scientist Dr. Katsuragi to study [[Adam]]. Dr. Katsuragi had developed his theories on the [[S² Engine]] and used it to provide an explanation for Adam's power. Dr. Katsuragi's daughter, [[Misato Katsuragi|Misato]], accompanied the expedition.
In Mid-September, [[SEELE]] was funding the project for ambitious scientist Dr. Katsuragi, attempting to prove his theories on [[S² Engine]] in order to create one. The only person not part of the crew was Dr. Katsuragi's daughter, [[Misato Katsuragi|Misato]].  


In September 13th, the crew discovered Adam. The crew successfully extracted the being out of the ground, but through it brought upon the world Second Impact, nearly destroying the world and ravaging the the countries that survived through it. During Adam's awakening, the doctor sacrificed his life, sending his daughter in an escape capsule to sea. The events left Misato mute for nearly four years.
Adam was subject to a [[Contact Experiment]] involving DNA from a "human donor", presumably one of the the Katsuragi expedition crew on the site (and quite possibly Dr. Katsuragi himself). The contact experiment resulted in Adam awakening, causing catastrophic damage to the base facilities around the excavation site. The members of the expedition frantically attempted to redirect the energy generated by Adam. Whatever the exact sequence of events, [[Second Impact]] occurred with Adam's body being destroyed in the process; it is implied that the Contact Experiment resulted in the creation of the Angel [[Tabris]].


Save for a scientist named [[Gendo Ikari]] (Then known as Gendo Rokubungi), no one from the crew made it out alive.
During the events, Dr. Katsuragi succeeded in getting outside the base facilities, carrying Misato. Both father and daughter were severely injured, with Dr. Katsuragi in particular sustaining especially heavy injuries. Dr. Katsuragi nevertheless succeeded in getting Misato into an escape capsule that survived the explosion and took Misato out to sea. Misato's cross pendant is a keepsake, given to her by her father just before he sealed her capsule and let her live, at the cost of his own death.  
 
==The Purpose==
While Katsuragi saw this as an opportunity to advance his research, he was backstabbed by SEELE, using the expedition to further their plans on the [[Human Instrumentality Project]] by retrieving Adam (Now fossilized).
 
In [[Episode 21]], it is revealed that [[Gendo Ikari]] knew about the true purpose of the expedition, leaving one day early before Second Impact to [[Gehrin]].


[[Episode 21]] reveals that a young [[Gendo Ikari|Gendo Rokubungi]] had been a part of the expedition, but, aware of the true purpose of the expedition and the imminent Second Impact, had left Antarctica the day before.

The expedition lead by Misato Katsuragi's father, Dr. Katsuragi, to the South Pole to research and experiment with Adam, the Seed of Life that had been discovered there. The Contact Experiment undertaken by the expedition led to Second Impact. The events surrounding the expedition and the true nature of Second Impact were largely covered up with neither the public nor lower-ranking employees of Nerv knowing the truth.

Seele funded the project, led by the scientist Dr. Katsuragi to study Adam. Dr. Katsuragi had developed his theories on the S² Engine and used it to provide an explanation for Adam's power. Dr. Katsuragi's daughter, Misato, accompanied the expedition.

Adam was subject to a Contact Experiment involving DNA from a "human donor", presumably one of the the Katsuragi expedition crew on the site (and quite possibly Dr. Katsuragi himself). The contact experiment resulted in Adam awakening, causing catastrophic damage to the base facilities around the excavation site. The members of the expedition frantically attempted to redirect the energy generated by Adam. Whatever the exact sequence of events, Second Impact occurred with Adam's body being destroyed in the process; it is implied that the Contact Experiment resulted in the creation of the Angel Tabris.

During the events, Dr. Katsuragi succeeded in getting outside the base facilities, carrying Misato. Both father and daughter were severely injured, with Dr. Katsuragi in particular sustaining especially heavy injuries. Dr. Katsuragi nevertheless succeeded in getting Misato into an escape capsule that survived the explosion and took Misato out to sea. Misato's cross pendant is a keepsake, given to her by her father just before he sealed her capsule and let her live, at the cost of his own death.

Episode 21 reveals that a young Gendo Rokubungi had been a part of the expedition, but, aware of the true purpose of the expedition and the imminent Second Impact, had left Antarctica the day before.
