NGE: And If That Don't Work?

Postby Sunshine Temple » Sun Nov 23, 2008 12:53 am

Well, I finally wrote a fic that's not a "Fukufic"

It's an Neo Genesis Evangelion Fic called "And If That Don't Work?"

The Prologue and the First chapter can be found here

And here's some fanartfor it.
But please read the fic first.

Here's the video mentioned in the writer's notes.

Wow, pretty good so far. Though I am somewhat remided of an E-Type fic with this for some reason.

I'd like to remind my readers that this is a story with Evangelions in it and while I will try to keep the physics as sane as possible, I can't make any promises.
Speaking as someone who likes attention to details like this, any efforts in trying to wring sanity of any kind from Evangelion is appreciated.

Very interesting.

I would first point out that by removing Pen-Pen, you removed arguably the only reasonably sane (to within one standard deviation) member of the entire cast.

Second - finally, actions are not taking place in a vacuum. The Russians were as polite and courteous as someone nuking someone else could be - though I would assume that there were extremely high-level negotiations that took place between Russia, China, and Japan first (given that China is other nuclear-capable regional power, there aren't a lot of good feelings between China/Russia and Japan, and Angels are there to eliminate life on earth).

So - why not nuke Adam???????????? Or move Adam to a nice, nuke-friendly atoll and set up nuclear mines, nuclear overwatch, and nuclear torpedoes?

On a more technical basis, I had a hard time figuring out the "Moskva IIB" - at first, I assumed you meant the Moskit/Kh-41/SS-N-22 Sunburn, though I was a little puzzled that we were that far back in time, and the Mach 4 doesn't fit with a Mach 3 high-altitude, Mach 2.2 low-altitude weapon. Flying in jets also seemed highly riskly, though I can assume without being told that they were in 6 widely dispersed areas, one pair in each, to avoid all being wiped out at once. Then, much later, I realized you seemed to be talking about BrahMos, based on the Yakhont/Oniks design, though also with a Mach 3 speed at higher altitude (as I recall - my Jane's Strategic Weapons has been loaned out and isn't likely to be returned, unfortunately).

Note - if the next Angel has better reaction times, land an S-300V (SA-12) detachment (or pull it out of hiding) and launch a nice Mach 8 surface-to-air missile with the normal 150kg warhead replaced by a nuke in command-guidance mode.

As a side note on Gehirn's (or whoever's) research, the Russians have detonated a 60MT nuclear weapon, though the smaller, more precise weapons make more sense for international relations. Japan is about to become irradiated, for better or worse - I can't see the Russians, or the Chinese, allowing any angel to park itself over the geofront, seconds away (as far as they know) from breaking through at any time.

[Indeed. NGE is notorious for this.
[And I'm very happy that this was appreciates. I did a fair bit of math (mostly simple scaling calculations) to feel this all out.

Nadrek

Very interesting.
[Thanks.

[Pen-Pen is with Maya so he can come back.

[It's just that of "Misako" got Misato's pet... it would be even more suspicious.
[Though the whole thing is rather... suspect.


Second - finally, actions are not taking place in a vacuum. The Russians were as polite and courteous as someone nuking someone else could be - though I would assume that there were extremely high-level negotiations that took place between Russia, China, and Japan first (given that China is other nuclear-capable regional power, there aren't a lot of good feelings between China/Russia and Japan, and Angels are there to eliminate life on earth).

[Oh wow... I love " The Russians were as polite and courteous as someone nuking someone else could be"

[That is a big beef I have with EVA. Nerv's military incompetence makes sense given Gendo's priorities and Seele's desires, but the rest of the world sitting down...

[Yeah, China is a factor here. Though they lack quite the Russian's expertise with nuclear technology.

So - why not nuke Adam???????????? Or move Adam to a nice, nuke-friendly atoll and set up nuclear mines, nuclear overwatch, and nuclear torpedoes?

[The Russian's don't know about Adam.
[And yes, that would be a good safety. Much better than where Gendo does put Adam.
[Or do you mean Lilith?


On a more technical basis, I had a hard time figuring out the "Moskva IIB" - at first, I assumed you meant the Moskit/Kh-41/SS-N-22 Sunburn, though I was a little puzzled that we were that far back in time, and the Mach 4 doesn't fit with a Mach 3 high-altitude, Mach 2.2 low-altitude weapon.

[Yup. I gave a hint. By saying that is was a project that the Indians dropped out of due to Second Impact

[Since BrahMos is short for Brahmaputra-Moskva, if the Indians were to pull out, it would merely become Moskva.
[And since the Moskva's development was completed for Azazel's purposes it is... slightly different from the BrahMos. Given that it can get to Mach 4 at low altitude

[Yes, the Azazel wing is widely dispersed to keep from being taken out.
[Also the jets were not the only delivery option Azazel had.
[However, they were the option that Azazel chose to fire from.


Note - if the next Angel has better reaction times, land an S-300V (SA-12) detachment (or pull it out of hiding) and launch a nice Mach 8 surface-to-air missile with the normal 150kg warhead replaced by a nuke in command-guidance mode.

[You mean Ramiel?
[Heh.
[Well my Author's notes kind of poke that one.
[Unless there's a capacitor bank that can

As a side note on Gehirn's (or whoever's) research, the Russians have detonated a 60MT nuclear weapon, though the smaller, more precise weapons make more sense for international relations. Japan is about to become irradiated, for better or worse - I can't see the Russians, or the Chinese, allowing any angel to park itself over the geofront, seconds away (as far as they know) from breaking through at any time.

[Indeed. We're actually in the interesting position. Humanity's problem with the Angels is not insufficient power, but insufficient finesse.

[Any Angle that parks over the GeoFront will really given Nerv a headache.
[Given Azazele's stance.
[Though Much of Tokyo 3 can descend into the Geo Front and there are shelters that look deep enough to give some protection.
[So... T3 isn't in too bad shape.

[Indeed. There will be more nukes.
[at least Nerv has shown that for some Angels, Eva can be a cleaner option (at staggering expense)

[Yay!
[Now by "something like this" do you mean nuking the Angels? Or having Shinji be a Rei clone?

[Very good.
[I started thinking on this idea when watching the Ramiel episode.
[I thought the power they quoted was very low... so I looked at the power of nuclear weapons.

[As for the clones... well Misato and Shinji were caught in the blast of the N2...
[And they would be further than the "Angel Buster" but still...

[The fun part about female-Shinji is that his personality fits a female frame rather well.
[Which was intentional on the creator's part.

[Well, yes.
[Shinji's character design is from a previous work. Basically he's Nadia with shorter hair.

[Shinji was deliberately effeminate and "soft" in the NGE amine. Which is useful for me.

It does seem a bit odd that everyone immediately starts using "her" and "Shinju" to refer to Shinji.

Seems strange that Ritsuko and Gendo don't screw up with the new names even in private.

Similarly with Misato and Shinji in private.

RanIt does seem a bit odd that everyone immediately starts using "her" and Shinju" to refer to Shinji.
[Why? Misato and Gendo are the only ones that ever met "Shinji"
[And for Misato it was just for part of a car ride.


Seems strange that Ritsuko and Gendo don't screw up with the new names even in private.

[For Rits it's easy. As she only "met" Shinji when he was unconscious and dying from radiation poisoning.

[As for Gendo, one would presume that he's good at the spy game.
[Given how he's gone behind Seele's back.
[also...

[[
"It appears that way. Captain... Ayanami seems convinced it was, and she was the last person with Shinju... before." Ritsuko looked at Gendo and wondered if he could tell whether or not it was his son in that body. She did not know when they had met last.

"Impressive, maintaining commitment to the cover. Even here?" Fuyutsuki asked, from his position standing behind Gendo.
]]

Similarly with Misato and Shinji in private.

[That Misato only met Shinji for a little bit helps.

[Only two people ever really met Shinji as a male.
[Other than Gendo and Misako, everyone else has only seen the younger Ayanami

[One thing that you have to remember is that it's like Shinji never got to Tokyo3.

[Misato/Misako is the bigger worry about slipups.
[Given that she has coworkers that knew Misato.

Rei tilted her head slightly and noted just dead and fatalistic her voice could be.

"You're doing great, Kiddo!"
M
isako reassured. "It's about to start.

two lines?

You're a sadist, you know that? :twisted: First Ranma, several times, now poor Shinji-kun... Well, at least the personality matches the gender now :D

My only comment is that the nuclear reaction in nuclear weapons occurs in the millisecond range, and you are doing a bait & switch with wattage & energy. Taking the wattage needed to defeat the AT field and assuming a second of exposure is somewhat outlandish.

Otherwise, it would be trivial to defeat it with regular artilery and guided missiles. Dumping a few hundred kilotons of conventional bombs is quite doable. Even making that amount of conventional bombs in a limited timespan would be trivial for a superpower todo.
