Asset:

Evangelion Unit-00

Status: Offline / Sync Lockout

Core Signature: Autonomous Static Pulse

Report Summary:

Evangelion Unit-00 has remained inoperative following the termination of Pilot Ayanami (Iteration: 03). All restart procedures have failed. The core resists external access. Insertion of dummy plugs yields no reaction. MAGI now records Unit-00 as exhibiting pre-reactive sentience drift.

Aberrant Core Behavior:

  • At 02:44 JST, core pulsed at 8.6Hz for 92 seconds—uncued and unconnected.
  • Pulse patterns exhibit strong correlation with human parasomnia: specifically REM-state terror loops.
  • Environmental data shows localized temperature drop (6.7°C) inside the plug cavity. No cause registered.
  • Electromagnetic residue in the entry system resembled LCL activation sequence, though no plug was inserted.

MAGI Interpretation: Unit-00 is experiencing recursive neural storms. Signal output parallels the EEG of a human suffering from persistent nightmare disorder—except this loop is self-generating. There is no pilot. No trigger. And yet... the system screams internally.

Personal Observations:

It's not just the signal. The feeling inside the cage has changed. The techs won’t go near it without radiation shielding, even though the core reads stable.

I stood at the glass and felt it—like a low whisper behind the metal. Like someone dreaming too loud.

Something in there is remembering.

And it’s trying to claw its way out of memory.

Action Directives:

  • Cease all reactivation attempts indefinitely.
  • Initiate MAGI spectral ghost logging. Passive only—no interaction protocols.
  • Isolate Unit-00 behind LCL sealants and keep submerged in reserve fluid tank. Do not move without command override.
  • Seal Cage-00 access to everyone except Dr. Akagi and Commander Ikari. Classify all telemetry as psych-hazardous.

Update Log:

  • UPDATE 01 — [TIME REDACTED]: Unit-00’s optical sensors (ocular systems) are open. Power cables are detached. No startup sequence was initiated. Core still reads as dormant, but the visual impression is unmistakable: the eyes are following movement in the cage. The MAGI flagged this event with the same alarm code as "foreign intelligence breach."
  • UPDATE 02 — [TIME REDACTED]: Unit-00 is now functioning nominally. Core synchronization protocols returned to baseline. Dummy plug compatibility restored. LCL harmonics within standard parameters. However, no activation orders were issued from command. The unit “woke up” on its own.
  • NOTE: Technician Maya Ibuki was reported missing the same morning Unit-00 regained functionality. Last confirmed location: adjacent control booth for Cage-00. Security footage for that timestamp has been corrupted. Personnel search ongoing. No sign of struggle.
