Ikari Gendo-san has received his punishment. [Very coldly, perhaps even enough to startle him.]
[Then she folds her hands in her lap, thinking of where to start. Perhaps the same way she explained it to Tsukasa? Right from the beginning?]
We do not know where they came from, but two beings were sent to populate Earth many years ago - the Angel Adam, and the Angel Lilith. They each created different creatures: Adam created Angels, each with a different form and ability, and Lilith created humanity. In the end, humanity won the right to populate Earth.
These facts were discovered in the new Dead Sea Scrolls, and one group of men discovered where Adam rested and attempted to free him. As a result, the Angels were also freed and began to seek vengeance. I was created by the man who headed NERV, a special force designed to defeat the Angels, and given the soul of the Angel Lilith to make me a more effective fighter.
[And to make her a living trigger for Instrumentality. But that's another story.]
