My First Day in Tokyo-3

November 21, 2015 — partly cloudy.

So this is it. Tokyo-3. I was transferred here from the overly luxurious passenger ship they had me on, and for what? I half-expected some kind of proper welcome ceremony when I stepped off. Instead, a woman in a crumpled suit showed up drinking a beer and introduced herself as Misato Katsuragi — my so-called "legal guardian." Give me a break.

The city itself looks decent enough, but the whole place smells like a military base. NERV HQ is buried underground, a giant pyramid structure. I'll admit, it's impressive.

They told me there are two other pilots. One is Shinji Ikari — hasn't arrived yet. The other is Rei Ayanami — apparently the quiet type. Doesn't talk much. Honestly, from what I've heard, none of them sound like anything special.

But that's fine. I'm Asuka Langley Soryu. Pilot of Unit-02. I'll show every single one of them who the real ace is around here.

I just wish someone would at least acknowledge that.
