Operation US
Operation US is the name given to the mission to retrieve Evangelion Unit-01 from outer space in the beginning of 3.33. The operation was orchestrated by Wille.
Operation Summary
The goal of Operation US was to retrieve a tesseract that it had been launched into outer space, with Eva-01 inside of it. Evangelion Unit-02', having been partially repaired, was launched connected to a massive booster array with Asuka as its pilot. Evangelion Unit-08 was also sortied, piloted by Mari. After a successful launch for Unit-02', the tesseract was acquired as a target. At this point Unit-02' was attacked by the Code 4A of the Nemesis Series. Unit-08 acted as backup to destroy the units while Asuka secured the tesseract. At this point, the Code 4B of the Nemesis Series was revealed to have been hiding on the tesseract. It engaged Unit-02' with Field Reflection Coatings, and succeeded in removing one of the arms of Unit-02. Unit-01 unexpectedly awoke inside the tesseract, and used a beam from its eyes to destroy the Code 4B.
