Originally tested A10-negative, but her dad is an Eva tech, and one day on Take Your Daughter to Work Day, he snuck her into an Eva for shits and giggles. It synched up. She was then conscripted into the Eva program.

She draws excellently, but not ''good enough''.

She has to write out her god damn backstory herself.

Pilot training at the Nevada Evangelion facility concluded with the entire cohort of Pilot Cadets doing actual field trials; their first time actually in an Eva! Major Madison and Captain Langley watched as each of the pilot cadets ran an Eva through an obstacle course, in order to select their cadre of pilots for deployment. There are many terrible rolls, and many faceplams in the observation tower, but the pilots that actually have character sheets manage to acquit themselves well, as none of them Berserked, ejected, or had the Eva try to pull out the plug, and all of them looked like they might be able to hit the broad side of a barn with a little help. Therefore, Major Madison predictably chose the pilots with real character sheets to be her cadre. Five more pilots were chosen to join the Second Eva Division with Asuka, and the rest were assigned as backup pilots or remained at Nevada for further training.

The selected pilots met with Major Madison and were informed that they were being deployed to the UAS Boston, immediately, and to pack up. Those pilots with parents or guardians were allowed to see them before leaving. Michael Albright met with his handler, Asif, and commended Asif on his perfectly adequate job over the past 15 years. Asif reminded Michael to stay out of trouble. Ted Higgins

mom saw him off in a hurricane of ProudMomTears, and packed his bags for him. Thomas Guilliman met with his uncle Jebediah, and they had a very loud and very obnoxious prayer in the middle of the tarmac, which everyone tried their best to ignore. So blessed, Thomas set off as Gods

Warrior. Adelie's dad assured her that while he'd be on the ship with the rest of the Eva technicians, he would be there if she needed him, but otherwise he would let her do this on her own, and that he was so proud of his little girl.

With all the goodbyes said, the pilots boarded a VTOL and flew to Neo Boston, where the UAS Boston was harbored to begin its maiden voyage. While in the air, the pilots - and Major Madison - were informed that there would be a parade, because there has to be a parade for these kinds of things. With the Evas. Marching down Giulianni Memorial Highway towards the harbor. The pilots were nervous, but they had earlier demonstrated their ability to walk in a straight line. Major Madison and the bridge crew got to ride in a float.

Much to everyone's surprise, halfway through the parade several Russian-model Crusaders and one unknown Eva airdropped in along the parade route. They were identified as hostile and Madison ordered the pilots to attack. They were not deployed with weapons for the parade, so they only had their fists and whatever items were in their wing loadouts
:
Prog knives for everyone! Even when vastly outgunned and untrained in Eva combat, the pilots performed admirably. Four crusaders were destroyed, two surrendered, and the Eva was disabled and its pilot surrendered. The pilots were ordered to report to the UAS Boston immediately, and the cleanup was left to the UAS ground forces on site.

''"On one hand, I've never seen so many Berserk Evas in one day, and that terrifies me. On the other hand, Entry Plug Ejection technology has improved'' dramatically ''over the past 10 years.'' --Major Madison
