Yet a scientist can hardly ignore the evidence of their own senses. Nor should they readily discard established knowledge because of a single observation, at least until they understood it a little bit better. The commander had been informed of what was going on, and he had instructed her to do her job and figure this out. Which meant her job was to observe. To catalogue.
This task was proving rather distracting given the overtly sexual nature of what was happening in the tank. They appeared to have paired off for some rather explicit sexual exploration of their transformed bodies. It wasn't hard to see why. Those curves demanded examination and "no" wasn't an option. Ritsuko unconsciously wet her lips. Sex appeal... Definitely enhanced to a level beyond normal human limits. Pheromonal? Possibly? She was able to retrieve a facemask easily enough, but given the number of them it might not be sufficient to fully block that kind of effect. Douse a waterproof hazard suit in enough high-pressure water, it would inevitably leak...
"There's only one way for me to figure this out," Ritsuko sighed. "Watching you girls enact the most bizarre porn I've personally had the opportunity to witness isn't exactly going to tell me a whole lot about anything."
Which led her to one conclusion, and only one conclusion. "Initiating extraction procedure," she said into her recorder. "I will retrieve a full-body hazard suit, isolate one of them and attempt a few experiments. After which, I will conclude with dissection to determine the extent of the transformation, and hopefully the cause."
The extraction itself went surprisingly smoothly. It wasn't all that difficult to locate one by itself, masturbating in the middle of the tank. Playing with its ridiculous, impossibly perfect breasts. Floating upside down in the tank with its eyes closed, immaculate legs kicking upwards in the LCL while its cute face seemed to be in a perpetual state of both surprise and bliss at once.
From there, it was up to her to take it through to the next room. Ritsuko had to do all of this herself. Only a select few people were ever permitted to know about the Ayanami project. Anyone else? That was a real risk. A terrifying risk. As for the clone itself, it didn't stop masturbating until its hands were taken away and put into restraints on the table. Not when the retrieval device scooped her out of the tank, not when she was remotely taken to the table, not right up until the moment her wrists and ankles were bound in place.
The clone was left squirming in place and even that ranked in the top ten most erotic sights Ritsuko had ever seen. It was as if someone had deliberately gone out of their way to sculpt the perfect feminine form. Perfect. Without flaw. Not her skin not her figure nor her face nor anything at all. The perfect sexual being. And there was a whole tank exactly like her in the very next room.
"Let's get this over with," Ritsuko sighed. She pulled on the helmet of her biosuit and walked right on inside. The air in the room was a carefully controlled condition, very deliberately maintained to have certain controlled amounts of chemicals. It was sterile. The remotest sign of any chemical release in the air would be detected immediately, and -
And nothing. Everything checked out. No unusual chemical release detected. Which didn't mean anything. Just because the equipment didn't see it didn't mean it wasn't there. It might mean they weren't calibrated to notice it. Extended analysis of tissue sample, blood sample and perhaps sweat sample would pick up something.
"First test," Ritsuko said for the benefit of the recording. "Response to stimuli, beginning with -"
"Hey, beautiful," the clone said. "Why don't you take off that big, heavy, ugly thing and party on down with me? I'll show you the time of your life, just you watch!"
"... Subject has demonstrated coherent speech ability," Ritsuko said. Well. That was interesting.
"Oh?" the subject said, giving her the most adorable pout. "'Subject'... Is that my name? Well. A pretty thing like you can call me whatever you want."
"Very well then," Ritsuko said, moving up towards the subject's head. Coherent thought? This might actually make things easier. There's almost certainly a connection to the transformation. Definitely something she could maybe learn from... "Tell me about yourself," she said. "What do you remember?"
"Oh, not much!" 'Subject' said in a rather playful tone of voice. "Not a lot of stuff you would be all that interested in. It's pretty boring, really. I mean, things like... The human race is going down 'cause you guys accidentally made yourselves sterile, then you went and pissed off... Lilith? That's what you call Mom? And she was looking for a way to make you all forget about this Instrumentality bullshit and start reproducing again, so she did a thing that made you not even notice that you'd left the top of the tank unsealed."
Well, that really was quite a lot to take in all at once. Ritsuko's mind began to race through the details. Lilith was responsible for this? Some active attempt to make humanity... Wait...
"What was that last part again?" she asked, but 'Subject' just sort of smiled up at her, giving her hips a bit of a seductive wiggle that, in spite of herself Ritsuko just couldn't take her eyes off. Then without warning her helmet was taken off...
"By the way," Subject said, easily slipping out of the fastened restraints and sitting up on the bed. Her hand gently stroked against Ritsuko's face, and she climaxed on the spot. "You were right about that pheromone thing, but it's not all we can do. Let's give you a little taste...."
- Rei arrives at base, with all eyes following her every single move.
- Shinji and Asuka have just finished a rough day of training, when the base suddenly enters lockdown.
- Ritsuko enters a world of pleasure unlike any she's imagined.
- Meanwhile, turns out Kaworu is also awake and massively endowed.
- Other people encounter a few escaped Rei clones.
- Something else
