Rei Ikari found school boring, honestly, but she and her brother had been required to go to school by the Japanese government. Surprisingly even her mother Yui had agreed, feeling she and Shinji needed socialization with kids their own age.
Sadly, most kids their age were idiots.
"Oh, Shinji, that was so cool," another upperclassman cooed as she nearly drapped herself over his desk. Both Ken and Toji were gawking, understandably, and she suspected Ken was trying to get a upskirt shot with his camera.
Ever since the news that she and Shinji were piloting Evangelion leaked, their classmates had gone a bit crazy. A LOT of older girls seemed to want to have Shinji's babies, and a few guys had even tried pestering her too. Thankfully her usual cool manner scared them off, but Shinji was too nice a guy to do that.
"Please leave the classroom, Miss Takagi," Rei told the pink haired girl sternly, "lunch break is nearly over."
The older girl sniffed but turned to leave. "See you later Shinji," Saya waved as she trotted off, her glasses gleaming.
"Thanks," Shinji sighed to Rei.
"No problem," Rei smiled at her brother then went back to her desk.
"Damn, I envy you," Ken sighed, adjusting his own glasses.
Toji made sure his girlfriend wasn't around as he muttered, "She sure is hot."
Rei ignored their banter as she sat down at her desk. Covertly she got out her NERV issue mobile device, which she had... modified extensively. I mean, when Rei first got it all it could do was run apps, video, music and work as a phone. Clearly, that was insufficient. So in her spare time she had added various functionality to it.
With a few pressed keys she brought up her virtual keyboard, then Rei proceeded to hack into the video feed coming out of Japan Heavy Industries. In moments she was monitoring the tests of Jet Alone in real time, even as she kept a eye on the teacher boringly droning on. She also tapped into twitter feeds and had them scrolling down one side.
"Now, before Second Impact," Miss Haruna sighed. "Before Second Impact I had a Chance to get married! I was good looking! I had PROSPECTS! Now look at me!" the older woman waved her arms wildly.
"Haruna's losing it again," Toji noted conversationally as the older woman ranted.
Rei watched as Jet Alone lumbered out of it's hangar. While more humanoid than early versions it still looked clumsy to her, unweildy. The large central body, required for the Nuclear power source, was also a obvious point of vulnerability. A proper sniper shot, heavy armor or no armor, would likely take it down.
Rei was vaguely impressed with the weapons that were being proposed, however. The pistol weapon probably wouldn't be much use, but the heavy rifle was a improvement over NERV issue rifles. And the bazooka prototype might be effective too. Watching Jet Alone heft each device she was also reasonably impressed with the hand and arm coordination the robot was managing.
'Cave Johnson here,' read one post, 'Our original plan was to have Jet Alone fight a Angel. However we couldn't corral one for the test. Damn uncooperative Angels. We're planning trials with a human pilot next, once we defeat the pesky AT Field problem.'
Rei frowned, wondering how they got the data on AT Fields. That was supposed to be confined to NERV and their military liasons and the Japanese government. Then again, it was always possible Naoko Akagi had spilled the beans, so to speak.
The next part of the test was a speed and mobility test. In essence Jet Alone would dodge through a set of buildings, as a improvised obstacle course. Rei watched attentitively as it dodged, heading away from the hangar, then... kept going.
At first Rei didn't realize anything was amiss. Then alarmed twitter comments from the staff began to appear, as did comments from the observers. It was supposed to stop, but it kept on going, walking through the ruins of Tokyo, on a course out of the city.
Rei shut down her device then pocketed it as she stood up, startling the teacher. "Excuse me," she said firmly, "but Shinji and I have to go."
"Wha...?| Shinji blinked.
Haruna looked at her, frowning as the older woman asked, "I agree, what's going on?"
"Ma'am," Rei met her eyes calmly, "I can assure you, NERV will be calling us out of class momentarily. I'm just trying to save time."
Haruna studied Rei for a moment, then nodded curtly, "All right, go. But don't think working for NERV grants you special privilages."
"Yes, ma'am," Rei agreed as she and Shinji hurried out.
"So," Shinji asked as they hurried down the hall, "what's going on?"
"I was watching the Jet Alone tests," Rei told him just as their phones rang, "it looks like it's gone out of control."
Gendo sounded harried as he said, "Rei, get out of class and head for the parking lot. We need to get you back to NERV immediately."
"Jet Alone's gone rogue," Rei confirmed as she heard their mother telling the same thing to Shinji in the background.
Gendo paused as he processed that. "I don't want to know how you found that out, do I?" he sighed. "Anyway, I have Aoba on his way to pick you up. We'll be deploying the Evangelions to try to stop Jet Alone."

"No way in hell!" Naoko Akagi blurted out, the older woman looking indignant as she tried to stare down Misato and Maya. "You are NOT using the Evangelions to destroy Jet Alone!"
Misato met the older woman's eyes, clearly not cowed by her in the least. "Your shut down codes aren't working," she said, "and you can't regain control, correct?"
Naoko pressed her lips together in annoyance. Something had gone wrong in Jet Alone, and it was marching towards Tokyo-2 at a steady, ground easting pace. The nuclear reactor was stable (thank goodness) but even without that going wrong Jet Alone would do serious damage crashing through buildings and stepping on people.
"Not yet," Naoko ground out, "but my team is working on it and I'm confident we'll figure out what happened."
"And we're not going to destroy it," Maya added, "just stop it."
"Actually, I think we've found out what happened," Shingo said as he lead a older, western looking lady. He nodded, "Carolyn, please tell them what you told me."
Carolyn looked tired, as one would expect from a woman who rode herd over Cave Johnson on a daily basis. She pushed her brown hair back from her face as she said, "When Cave and I were visiting a few months ago, you were having a problem with lack of RAM in the Jet Alone."
Impsatiently Naoko growled, "Yes, but we solved it with a re-purposed computer unit..." She trailed of, her face paling.
Grimly Maya Ibuki asked, "Where did the computer unit come from?"
"It was a reject from one of our projects," Carolyn admitted sheepishly, "it was intended to stimulate curiosity in a new AI we were developing." As everyone stared at her she quickly added, "All it's additional functions were shut down before being installed! All it should be functioning as is a added memory component."
Misato looked at Naoko, "Could that be...?"
"Possibly," Naoko admitted reluctantly, looking thoughtful. "The computer core I installed in Jet Alone isn't as advanced as the Magi, but it's adaptive. If it became aware on the unused capacity in the add-on part it's quite possible it reactivated it."
"So we have a giant robot with a curiosity bug rampaging across the countryside," Shingo summarized. He ran a hand over his face as he muttered, "I guess Mom was right, she always said I should have been a accountant..."
Everyone ignored that. Misato looked at Carolyn, "Any way you can remotely shut the unit down?" When she shook her head no Misato sighed, "Figures."
"I'll go run interference with Cave while you work," Carolyn said as she excused herself, "You do not want him getting involved with this."
"Got that right," Naoko sighed.
"So far it's still making it's way through the ruins of old Tokyo," Misato noted, "but it won't be long before it reaches populated areas. If it continues on a straight line course through the city..."
Kodama Horaki hurried from where she had been conferencing with their immediate superiors. "No luck on the emergency shutdown system either," the younger woman reported with sigh. The still crisply business suit clad woman said, "We double checked, it's on a direct course for Tokyo-2."
Shingo ran a hand through his now messy brown hair, then looked pleadingly at Misato. "Jet Alone is the life work of many of the people here," he said, "I beg you, stop it without destroying it."
"Shingo!" Naoko sqwalked.
"I have no intention of destroying it," Misato said as she pulled out her phone and dialed, "hell, we might end up buying it after all this plays out."

Shinji Ikari fidgeted as he sat in the Evangelion entry plug, the massive war machine hooked to the belly of the transport plane. He and Rei were flying over Japan on the way to old Tokyo, even as NERV negotiated with Japan Heavy Industries over their very deployment.
'I hope Misato is okay,' Shinji thought, hoping she was well out of the way of the action. Not that he expected his adopted big sister to stay out of trouble, but he could hope.
A video screen popped open in the Entry Plug and Rei appeared, her smile gentle. "Misato will be fine," she said, once again showing that odd perceptiveness she had towards him.
'Maybe it comes from our being twins?' Shinji wondered. "Yeah, I'm sure she isn't planning anything crazy," Shinji said, then paused as he thought about that. "Oh hell."
:Shit," Rei agreed, even as the announcement came that they were nearly at the drop site.
Deploying the Evangelions from the carrier planes was always interesting, but this time went better than most. They dropped near the hangar for Jet Alone with a mighty crash, then deployed power cables to tap into local power. As they did so Misato radioed them, her voice appearing in both their cockpits.
"I need you to pick me up," Misato ordered briskly, "there's a manual control system built into Jet Alone. You're going to stop it, get me on board, and I'll shut it down."
Shinji and Rei exchanged glances and Shinji sighed. "I KNEW I shouldn't have said that..." he sighed.
To be continued...
Notes: Yes, Rei has modified her mobile hone into the Mercury Computer pretty much. I'm upgrading the series technology to modern levels, as well factoring in the fact that Rei is the daughter of a genius like Yui Ikari.
That teacher is in fact the same Miss Haruna from the Sailor Moon anime. In canon she had issues about being unmarried. I figure after 15 years she's a bit bitter about it.
Yes, they installed the Curiosity Core from GlaDOS into Jet Alone.
