Misato praised Octavia again for the recent victory, glad that she blew up Ramiel's body. This had saved NERV the need to spend lots of money to remove a giant corpse.

Octie remarked, "Glad to have saved you lots of money. Flying superheroes are less expensive than giant robots. And shows like Power Rangers blow up defeated enemies to save the need for body disposal."

Then as the two went to Misato's department for breakfast, Octie had some salad while Misato drank lots of beer with surprising satisfaction.

Octie told her, "I really don't want anypony to see you like this. Why are you so drunk?!?"

Misato was shocked. "I'm doing this to escape the traumatizing thoughts of surviving the Second Impact. I was on an expedition to meet the Angels, especially their source Adam. As soon as we went near him, he blew up the planet and I was the only survivor of my team. And I hate the Evas because they were cloned from the Angels. You're not like them, are you?!?"

Octie replied, "No! I'm a pony and have neither a big red core nor an AT Field! Because I don't have the latter, I actively dodge attacks, and I'm good at it!" Then she thought to herself, "Survivors, schurvivors. They will never forget what they witnessed."

Meanwhile, Gendo was aboard an airplane, talking to a nondescript man. "We will need more Evangelions since Unit 01 got killed and Unit 00 took the bullet for the musical superhero pony, taking lots of damage. The Evas were created to prevent a Third Impact."

A while later, Octie and Misato went with Ritsuko to a demonstration of an Angel-fighting robot, Jet Alone. Ritsuko spoke to its executive, Shiro Tokita, who wore a business suit. "You're sending a nuclear reactor-powered robot into close quarter combat. This is dangerous! It could explode and kill everypony in its vicinity!"

Shiro replied, "An automated robot is better than one that causes mental instability in its pilots and goes out of control like a whiny child."

Octie added, "And so is a musical superhero whose charged attack destroyed AT Fields as if the Angels didn't have them at all. She also blew up their corpses to save the trouble of removing them."

Misato angrily kicked a locker while yelling all thirteen bad words from SpongeBob SquarePants: Sailor Mouth. "They think they can defeat a single Angel?!? Well they're wrong! This is Octie's job, not theirs!"

At this point, Ritsuko said, "This hunk of junk can't penetrate AT fields! It doesn't have one or Octavia's AT Field-destroying charge attack!" But Shiro didn't listen. He pressed a button and Jet Alone started walking around...before going on a reckless rampage with a critical reactor.

Misato said, "Jet Alone is as badly behaved as the guy who created him! Turn him off!"

Shiro said, "I can't! It's broken my radio command circuit!"

Then Misato replied, "Fine. I'll catch it myself!" As she put on a radiation suit, Octavia was flying toward the robot with her bow, cello, and flying device. The robot tried to punch Octie, but she dodged the punches, sliced his arm off with her bow, and toppled him with a cello blow to the head. As JA fell to the floor, he struggled to get back up. "He's fallen and can't get up. Time to shut him down manually!"

Misato went inside the robot and tried to enter the passcode, "Hope", but it was rejected. Afterwards, a countdown to  a large explosion started. "T minus 10 seconds. T minus 9 seconds. T minus 8 seconds."

Octavia shouted, "GET OUT OF THERE MISATO! I'VE ALREADY DEFEATED HIM! HE DIDN'T PUT UP MUCH OF A FIGHT, BUT NOW HE'LL TAKE YOU WITH HIM!" Misato ignored her and started pushing JA's control rods back into the reactor. After hearing "T minus 2 seconds", Octie yelled "MISATO-SAHN!" before the control rods finally reinserted themselves and stopped the meltdown.

"T minus...*shutdown sound*" Then Misato emerged from the fallen robot unscathed. A relieved Octavia knew this rampage wasn't intentional. Misato also saw her as a family member, pleasing her.
