Ikari, Fuyutsuki and some workers look up at something coming down from above.
Ritsuko (OFF):“…that our knowledge is highly incomplete.”
WORKER A (Back turned):“Lower it... slowly... Okay!”
Woman1:“Work resumed on F Block demolition.”
Shinji peers at them. Ikari moves his hands in front and makes to take off his gloves.
WORKER B:“...Okay, Stop!”
Man:“45 minutes remaining until completion of C Block demolition.”
Woman:“Please gather all B block samples at the 2nd point after marking.”
UrsusArctos: Commenting late, but we seem to have missed a couple of references on those boxes. NC1701D is an obvious reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation and the Enterprise-D (NCC-1701D). VF111 Sundown is a reference to US Navy fighter squadron VF-111, also known as the Sundowners, which took part in filming Top Gun in 1985. That also possibly makes it an indirect reference to Top Gun via the pilot "Sundown", whose callsign was chosen in reference to VF-111. Shamshel's presumably spherical core has had a section cut out along neat straight lines, showing that Nerv can carve up cores however they want. I presume that this is the part of the core that didn't get cracked by the prog knife attack.
