	Title2
	114	AOBA (OFF):“Angel, visually confirmed. Here is the highest magnification.”	UrsusArctos: After a long procession of monsters and bizarre creatures, we finally see an Angel that's truly angelic in beauty.
	115	HYUGA:“It isn't budging from its satellite orbit.”
	116	AOBA:“It's maintaining a set distance from our location.”	UrsusArctos: Arael is visibly too low to be in a geosynchronous orbit, and a satellite in Low Earth Orbit has to orbit the Earth much faster than that to stay up there. The Angel probably has the raw power to hover wherever it wants.
	117	MISATO:“Which means, it's waiting for a chance to descend and close in, or it can attack us without the need to do so.”
	118	HYUGA:“We can't make a careless move at this rate.” MISATO:“Either way, we can't do anything about it unless the target moves within our firing range.”
	119	MISATO:“The Eva units aren't capable of attacking anything in orbit.”
	120	MISATO:“How's Rei?” IBUKI:“She's in good shape, along with Unit 00. She's ready to go.”
	121	MISATO:“Roger that. Launch Unit 00! Prepare for extreme long range firing.”
	122	MISATO:“Unit 02 and Asuka will stand by for launch as backup!”
	123	ASUKA:“Backup?! Me?! To Unit 00?!” MISATO (OFF):“That's right, take the rear position.” ASUKA:“You have got to be joking! Eva Unit 02, taking off!”	Mr. Tines: Having been left hung out to dry without support in the last couple of actions, one might have hoped that the lesson had gotten through.

	125
	126	RITSUKO:“Asuka!”
	127
	128	MISATO:“That's fine, we'll let her take the lead.” HYUGA:“Major Katsuragi!”
	129
	130	RITSUKO:“Meaning, this is the end for Asuka if she can't perform now.” IBUKI:“Her last chance, then?”
	131	RITSUKO:“We'll have to think about a replacement pilot for Unit 02.” IBUKI:“Yes, Ma'am.”
	132	HYUGA:“Aren't we sending out Unit 01?” MISATO:“It's been put on suspension under Commander Ikari's strict orders.”
	133
	134
	135	MISATO (MONO):“I suppose it's not surprising after what happened.”	UrsusArctos: More to keep Seele from going after his head, but the confusion's understandable.
	136	TEXT:“Inspection Division”	UrsusArctos: Eva-01 is literally cordoned off. Note the use of the full term "U.N. NERV".

	144	ASUKA:“If I mess this up, they'll probably take me off Unit 02. No mistakes allowed, Asuka.”

	148
	149	AOBA (RADIO - OFF):“Target is still outside firing range.” ASUKA:“Oh, hurry up and get over here already! Talk about irritating!”
	150		UrsusArctos: Arael may not be in your range, Asuka, but the reverse sadly isn't true. The images on the left don't show it but it briefly casts a rainbow halation like all the beam-firing Angels before it.
	151
	152		UrsusArctos: Arael literally means "Vision of God" or "Light of God" and is the Angel of Birds. That it is shaped like a pair of wings and should reach out with a beam of light that induces visions seems quite name-appropriate.
