Editing Campaign:NERV Siberia (section)

===The Reveal===

After an accidental uncovering of a data-recording device hidden within the complex black boxes in Mephestophiles, the team discovered a long-ago message from one Dr. Klaus Eigenhart, the last will and testament of his Initiative and its opposition to SEELE. Mephy is apparently their creation and their last hope, sent to the Russians because they would neither destroy it nor refuse to use it and had no links with SEELE. A conversation with the EVA units themselves, as well as significant and disturbing mutations that may or may not mark the Apotheosis of the units, revealed even more information. SEELE possesses, through NERV, Lillith, the creator (accidentally) of humanity and one part of a great duality intended as an experiment by the First Ancestral Race. They do not, however, possess the Xenotech lance necessary to truly bind and keep her dormant, and she is beginning to awaken in response to the increase in Vrag activity. Unfortunately, Adam is neither dead nor as controlled as mankind might have wished, and is beginning to stir in his slumber in a great underground cave system near where Antarctica used to stand. Both Progenitors are beginning to stir and awaken, and the Pilots and their commanders are desperately trying to decide which to strike at first, the weakened Adam or the somewhat-bound Lillith. The situation was further complicated by Russia's possession of the Lance of Longinus, unveiled from the Tunguska crater years after the original blast incident, after it had deorbited into Siberia. Used quickly, the Lance could bind and stop Lillith without a struggle or an Impact event, but storming Tokyo-3 with an armed team of EVAs and a xenotech weapon of Godlike power could cause millions of deaths and provoke a world war. However, if Lillith is defeated, Adam may yet awake, leaving the team to face him in EVA Units without the Lance, which could be catastrophic even if they win. In the end, the team decided (along with their superiors) to strike at Adam while the Kermlin tries to convince the UN of the existence of SEELE and the necessity of binding Lillith without a fight. The team faces their greatest battles, but if they are strong enough, mankind may yet survive this mess...
