| In the year 1999, mankind had
        made great technological advancements. Unfortunately, the desire to
        clone still existed. A top secret organization under the name of SEELE
        had discovered Lillith, the mother of all mankind as written in the Dead
        Sea Scrolls, and were performing experiments in an attempt to clone her.
        This project was known as Project E. God was angry over mankind
        violating the laws of nature and sent Adam down to warn them to stop
        their ways. SEELE sent a group of scientists to Antarctica in the
        Katsuragi Expedition, to find Adam and shrink him to pupa state so they
        could contain him and clone him as well. Unfortunately, they found him
        and when trying to shrink him, Adam exploded to the degree of subfusion
        nuclear bomb *in idiots terms: A really big bomb* and melted the polar
        ice caps. Scientists referred to this as the Second Impact (the meteor
        that wiped out the dinosaurs is believed to be the first.) In the
        following year, anywhere from half to three quarters of the world's
        population was wiped out. The earth's orbit was temporarily knocked off
        course, though SEELE did succeed in capturing Adam. Now it is 15 years
        later, 2015, and the angels have returned to make mankind pay for not
        listening 15 years ago. Another top secret UN organization, NERV, was
        setup to combat the angels. NERV developed the mysterious Evangelion
        robots *or at least we assume at first they are* to combat the great
        foes, each more dangerous and crafty than the next. Will mankind succeed
        and reach the higher evolutionary scale, or will the angels reunite with
        Adam and extract their penance. |      |
