  1. <LawfulNice> Buccellati called a little while ago saying he was sending Christina to see you. She is the Ryan's Island native you picked out of the possible candidates, and who was nowhere to be seen yesterday.
  2. 06[15:09] * Karla_Ortega sits back and sighs, taking a breather from her work. Despite her new 'duties', she's determined to keep up with her original plans.
  3. 03[15:10] * HLeviathan1 (HLeviathan@Rizon-2956527F.ip.alltel.net) has joined #NervAtlantis
  4. [15:11] <HLeviathan1> ((did I miss anything))
  5. [15:11] <LawfulNice> Christina, you got out of the base yesterday to have a little fun instead of the endless tests. Buccellati, the base Commander, doesn't really mind, thankfully, but the others on-base probably wouldn't be as nice if he hadn't smoothed things over
  6. 03[15:12] * HLeviathan1 is now known as Dr_Ortega
  7. 03[15:13] * macrophage (~stuff@69C1B243.5FD8FC16.F17C8BAC.IP) has joined #NervAtlantis
  8. 03[15:13] * LawfulNice_ (~chatzilla@Rizon-8AD4ADF0.sctnpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #NervAtlantis
  9. 02[15:13] * Karla_Ortega (HLeviathan@Rizon-513883D5.ip.alltel.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  10. 03[15:13] * Dr_Ortega is now known as Karla_Ortega
  11. [15:14] <LawfulNice_> Okay, what was the last thing I said that people saw?
  12. [15:14] <Karla_Ortega> but the others on-base probably wouldn't be as nice if he hadn't smoothed things over
  13. [15:14] <LawfulNice_> You're being sent to meet the new Operations Director. You really haven't heard anything about her, other than her name and the fact that she'll be your new boss. You find yourself right outside of her office. Go.
  14. 02[15:15] * LawfulNice (~chatzilla@Rizon-1DC7BC73.sctnpa.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  15. 03[15:15] * LawfulNice_ is now known as LawfulNice
  16. [15:17] <@Blast> Oh shit are you playing now
  17. 06[15:18] * Christina_Northop sighs and figures she's about to get chewed out for skipping tests yesterday. She decides to push the door open and walk in without a word, closing the door quietly behind her.
  18. 06[15:19] * Karla_Ortega looks down from the ceiling, ending her stretch prematurely and looking at the girl.
  19. 01[15:20] <Christina_Northop> "...Hi."
  20. 06[15:21] * Karla_Ortega is in her early forties, though she looks very good for that. The first thing that stands out is that she is huge. Six feet six inches. The second thing that stands out is that she is in a low to the ground rugby-grade wheelchair. Her black hair ends right at the shoulder, and she levels grey eyes at the girl. She's in a black tanktop, still adjusting to the local climate, which shows off that the woman is quite fit. Must
  21. [15:21] <Karla_Ortega> "Christina Nortop?" Karla asks for confirmation.
  22. [15:23] <Karla_Ortega> Must be from using her upperbody alot.
  23. 06[15:27] * Christina_Northop Is short even for her age, and especially in comparison to Karla. She's wearing a white blouse and khaki shorts, but despite the well dressed apearence she still looks like trouble. Her hair is shoulder length but tied back in a pony tail and a pair of pale green eyes regard Karla with boredom. She's slightly tan having lived on the island. "Yeah. Chris is fine."
  24. 03[15:28] * Feldion is now known as Peter_Cullen
  25. [15:28] <Karla_Ortega> "Chris then," she nods.
  26. [15:29] <Karla_Ortega> "Have a seat" she motions to the girl. There is a comofortable chair on the opposite side of the desk. Must have belonged to the room's previous occupant.
  27. 06[15:30] * Christina_Northop she takes a seat infront of Karla
  28. [15:31] <Karla_Ortega> "Chris, tell me, how have you liked working for NERV thus far?"
  29. 06[15:32] * Christina_Northop she smirks somewhat. "My honest opinion?"
  30. [15:32] <Karla_Ortega> "Always," Karla says.
  31. 06[15:34] * Christina_Northop "Well..." she sits back and crosses her legs. "It sucks. All they do is run tests. All day, just tets, nothing different, just the same shit. I'm suprised those NERV guys didn't try sneaking out too..."
  32. 06[15:38] * Karla_Ortega shrugs "Understandable. I'll get to the point then," Karla says, "I am no longer here to simply do research. I, my Evangelions and my Subjects, are now going to be involved in the defense of Ryan's Island from extremely dangerous foes. Elizabeth Weston, one of my subjects, has been trained for personal combat for nearly a decade, and her unit was critically wounded"
  33. 03[15:39] * Peter_Cullen is now known as Feldion
  34. [15:39] <Karla_Ortega> "So you are here to decide whether you wish to stay in the program or not."
  35. 06[15:40] * Christina_Northop seems suprised by the choice, her first choice arriving at NERV. "...what would staying in mean? More tests?"
  36. [15:42] <Karla_Ortega> "Definately more tests," Karla doesn't bother to varnish it, "Also, physical conditioning, combat training, VR exercises, and of course, fighting giant monsters who want to kill you."
  37. 06[15:48] * Christina_Northop she falls silent for a few moments, considering what Karla just said. Combat training? Giant Monsters? That sounds pretty sweet. But more tests? Hm. I could always just sneak out again when I wanted to. Not much outside those walls for me anyway. Alright. "I'm in. But exactly how many more tets are we talking about here..."
  38. 06[15:49] * Karla_Ortega gives her a look of amused suspician, "Only the bare minimum neccessary to ensure your survival."
  39. 01[15:50] <Christina_Northop> "Alright then. Bare minimum sounds... standable."
  40. 03[15:50] * Feldion is now known as Peter_Cullen
  41. [15:52] <Karla_Ortega> "Last chance. I'd rather you back out now than change your mind later. We might not be able to afford to get another pilot up to speed."
  42. 06[15:54] * Christina_Northop she smiled. "From what I gathered on those tests, you're rather me be here regardless. Besides, if I change my mind later, it'll only be for a little bit. You probably know there's not much left for me back at home."
  43. 06[15:55] * Karla_Ortega nods and pats a manila folder on her desk. "I've been made aware of your situation. Where are you housed currently?"
  44. 01[15:56] <Christina_Northop> "With my parents. You're gonna change that right?"
  45. [15:57] <Karla_Ortega> "I can arrange that," she nods, "If you wish."
  46. 01[15:58] <Christina_Northop> "Thanks."
  47. [15:59] <Karla_Ortega> "You have two options. I can place you in a personal housing unit, or I can put you with someone else on the project."
  48. 01[16:02] <Christina_Northop> "I'll house with someone else. I could use the company."
  49. 03[16:02] * Peter_Cullen is now known as Feldion
  50. 06[16:03] * Karla_Ortega smiles knowingly, "You've been here longer than I have, any preferences?"
  51. 01[16:04] <Christina_Northop> "Suprise me."
  52. 02[16:04] * Firespitter (~Firemouth@85EB30D6.2FB87C71.434A441A.IP) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  53. [16:04] <Karla_Ortega> "Alright," she says, "Any questions for me?"
  54. [16:04] <LawfulNice> ((Surprise Me: The option that always leads to trolling))
  55. 01[16:07] <Christina_Northop> "What do you think about NERV?"
  56. [16:10] <LawfulNice> (("I think I own 20% of the stock.))
  57. 01[16:10] <Christina_Northop> ((lol))
  58. 06[16:11] * Karla_Ortega smirks at this. Oh. They'll get along fabulously. "Honestly? It's a shitty clusterfuck sometimes," her expression softens, "But I wouldn't trade my time at NERV for anything."
  59. 06[16:14] * Christina_Northop she smiled. "Didn't think you'd actually answer that one."
  60. [16:15] <Karla_Ortega> "Oho? Feel free to try me. Any other questions?"
  61. 01[16:16] <Christina_Northop> "None for now. I never got your name, by the way."
  62. [16:16] <Karla_Ortega> "My apologies. Doctor Karla Ortega."
  63. 06[16:21] * Christina_Northop "Alright then." she wlaks to the door." See you around Doc."
  64. [16:23] <Karla_Ortega> "Pack your things, Chris."
  65. 03[16:38] * Feldion is now known as Archivisto
  66. 03[16:39] * Archivisto is now known as Feldion
  67. [16:39] <Karla_Ortega> LN, how does my research and convincing of Chris' parents go?
  68. [16:39] <LawfulNice> Well, that depends on what you are convincing them of.
  69. [16:40] <LawfulNice> You can find their names and contact information easily enough.
  70. [16:41] <Karla_Ortega> And again, though a lawyer and a newspaper editor, do they have any affiliation with NERV?
  71. [16:42] <LawfulNice> Everyone has an affiliation with NERV one way or another.
  72. [16:42] <Karla_Ortega> And theres?
  73. [16:42] <Karla_Ortega> Also, how much can I find out about the initial release of Chris into NERV's care?
  74. [16:43] <LawfulNice> Her father has undoubtedly worked for NERV at some point, being a lawyer. Her mother is probably at every press conference.
  75. [16:44] <LawfulNice> They seemed almost relieved to give her up. She seems to have been a problem child, according to reports.
  76. [16:44] <Karla_Ortega> What sort of problems, namely? And how relieved were they?
  77. [16:44] <Karla_Ortega> I'm about to tell them their kid is now going to be fighting life or death battles.
  78. [16:45] <LawfulNice> Discipline problems, mostly.
  79. [16:46] <Karla_Ortega> Elaborate?
  80. [16:47] <LawfulNice> Christina_Northop, describe the kinds of problems you caused. (I don't want to overstep my bounds and decide important bits for you)
  81. 01[16:49] <Christina_Northop> (Teehee) Sneaking out after curfew, skipping class, stealing some stuff, smoking cigarettes, only cooperated with her parents if he benefited her or she actually wanted to do it...
  82. 01[16:50] <Christina_Northop> Uhhh minor vandalism, general insubordination.
  83. [16:52] <Karla_Ortega> K.
  84. [16:53] <Karla_Ortega> And I need a better idea about your parents feelings.
  85. 01[16:54] <Christina_Northop> After her brother died she's basically wanted nothing to do with her parents at all, and really didn
  86. 01[16:54] <Christina_Northop> *didn't before hand. Parent's are pretty much mutual on this, but would probably care if she was going to be a life or death situation.
  87. 01[16:55] <Christina_Northop> But it's not like they've ever stopped her from doing anything before.
  88. [16:55] <Karla_Ortega> Yeah, well, thats what we're looking at.
  89. [16:55] <Karla_Ortega> Welp. LN, I'm ready to have my little meeting.
  90. [16:56] <LawfulNice> With Christina's parents, or with... the bosses?
  91. [16:56] <Karla_Ortega> With the parents for now.
  92. 01[16:56] <Christina_Northop> Da boss
  93. [16:56] <Karla_Ortega> Also, any luck finding a fourth pilot player?
  94. [16:56] <Karla_Ortega> Because In game that's what Karla is doing. replacing her initial coice with one more suitable for the circumstnances.
  95. [16:57] <LawfulNice> Not yet.
  96. [16:58] <LawfulNice> Okay, time for MEET THE PARENTS, then.
  97. [16:59] <Karla_Ortega> Alright, Parent/Doctor conferance. Got to make myself presentable.
  98. [16:59] <LawfulNice> Will Karla be calling them, going to meet them, or asking them to come in?
  99. [16:59] <Karla_Ortega> That is, not just a tank top.
  100. [17:00] <Karla_Ortega> I
  101. [17:00] <Karla_Ortega> I'll call ahead first, the plan being to visit their home to discuss the matter.
  102. 03[17:00] * Feldion is now known as FeldionAFK
  103. [17:02] <LawfulNice> Okay. You set up a meeting time. They ask if Christina should be there.
  104. [17:05] <Karla_Ortega> I leave it to their discretion.
  105. [17:07] <LawfulNice> They'd prefer to have her there, then, since it effects her.
  106. [17:08] <Karla_Ortega> Very well.
  107. [17:08] <Karla_Ortega> We'll aim for around sunset, so its cooling off and there's that nice ocean breeze.
  108. [17:09] <LawfulNice> Christina, your parents tell you that they set up a meeting with Doctor Ortega about you. They expect you to be there.
  109. 01[17:09] <Christina_Northop> "Whatever." She will
  110. [17:09] <Karla_Ortega> I'll dress in a black ribbed turtleneck and long black pants. Leg braces on. I'm going to be walking for this one.
  111. [17:10] <LawfulNice> Oh my. Making quite the extra effort.
  112. 01[17:10] <Christina_Northop> Same outfit, but with jeans now.
  113. [17:10] <LawfulNice> Christina, just a bit after dinner, there's a knock on your front door.
  114. 06[17:11] * Christina_Northop knowing who it is she gets up from reading her book and opens the door. "Hey."
  115. 06[17:12] * Karla_Ortega is there, standing at full height, cane in hand. The cane is actually braced to her forearm to give her the stability she needs.
  116. [17:12] <Karla_Ortega> "Hello Chris. I'm here as promised."
  117. 06[17:13] * Christina_Northop "I thought... nevermind, come in." she yells into the house. "Sara! It's the doctor!"
  118. 06[17:14] * Karla_Ortega smirks. She calls her parents by their first names?
  119. [17:15] <LawfulNice> Sara: "Just one second!" Christina'a mother walks to the front of the house. She's dressed a skirt and a layered top. "Hello. You must be Doctor Ortega. I'm Sara Northop."
  120. [17:16] <LawfulNice> A man follows behind her, in a golf shirt and slacks. "Hi there. I'm Christina's father, Jack."
  121. 06[17:16] * Karla_Ortega inclines her head in recognition. "Yes, we spoke earlier."
  122. 06[17:18] * Karla_Ortega gives him simmilar recognition, "Hello, Mr. Northop."
  123. [17:19] <LawfulNice> Sara: "Come in, Doctor. Would you like a cup of coffee, or maybe some tea?"
  124. 06[17:19] * Karla_Ortega waits patiently in the doorway, waiting to be let in.
  125. [17:20] <Karla_Ortega> "Coffee would be fine, thank you." Karla enters, looking for a place to sit down. Walkings a bitch, regardless of its dramatic effect.
  126. [17:20] <LawfulNice> There's a sitting room just inside, with a couch and two chairs.
  127. 06[17:21] * Christina_Northop sits down on the couch
  128. 06[17:21] * Karla_Ortega takes one of the chairs.
  129. [17:21] <LawfulNice> Jack sits down in the other chair. "So, what did you want to talk to us about?"
  130. [17:22] <LawfulNice> Sara returns with a cup of coffee for you, Karla. She then sits down on the couch, away from Christina.
  131. [17:22] <Karla_Ortega> "I would like to discuss Chris' work with NERV."
  132. [17:23] <Karla_Ortega> "I'm the project head who selected her based on her exemplary scores."
  133. 02[17:24] * macrophage (~stuff@69C1B243.5FD8FC16.F17C8BAC.IP) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  134. [17:26] <LawfulNice> Jack says "Go on."
  135. [17:28] <Karla_Ortega> "Very well, in short the tenor of the project has changed due from one of pure research to one of military defense of Ryan's Island. I wanted to inform you of this change, and what it means for your daughter."
  136. [17:29] <LawfulNice> Sara: "Military defense? But she's only a child!"
  137. 01[17:29] <Christina_Northop> "Mom. Let her finish..."
  138. [17:31] <Karla_Ortega> "Yes. I am aware. As I said, she was chosen for her exemplary scores. She has not only the ability, but exceptional capacity to man one of the only weapons capable of actual defense of the Island."
  139. [17:32] <LawfulNice> Sara: "Is this about that trouble yesterday, with the navy training accident?"
  140. [17:33] <Karla_Ortega> "Yes."
  141. [17:35] <Karla_Ortega> "Less than a quarter of a ten-thousanth of a percent of children world wide are positive for the marker that makes the use of this weapon system possible. The children of Ryan's Island are an anomoly, with 2% of their population being positive. Your child is literally one in 100 million."
  142. [17:37] <Karla_Ortega> "I say this," Karla leans back, "To impress upon you about the importance of her actions. I have no excuses as to her age. The fact is, the oldest candidate we have is seventeen. The next oldest is going to be turning fifteen this year."
  143. [17:37] <LawfulNice> Jack: "And you want her to defend against... what?"
  144. [17:39] <Karla_Ortega> "Strictly speaking, that's classified," she lets it hang, "However, in short it is an enemy who requires specialized technology to even face it. NERV exists specifically for this purpose."
