Editing Campaign:NERV Boston (section)

===Eva Dance-off===

After the tragic loss of Nerv Nevada's Evas and the N2 mine dropped on Albany when the angel Israfel attacked, the morale of humanity was shaken, realizing that even Evangelions could be killed. Commander Ramsey knew that something needed to be done to lift the world's spirits and restore their belief in Nerv. He called the other Nerv branches, and his proposal was accepted: the Inter-Nerv Evangelion Dance Competition. Each branch would send its finest dancers and their Evangelions to compete on worldwide television. This was met with mixed excitement and facepalm.

Thorbjorn and David began their training out in the wastelands. Thorbjorn had a bit of trouble, since neither he nor Unit 12 were very graceful, but what he lacked in talent he made up for in spirit. David, however, had stumbled upon something marvelous. Evidently, Unit 13 had been a dancer in its previous life, as he found himself doing breakdancing moves that he never knew existed. However, they weren't the only ones making preparations. Rashiid did not feel this competition was a good idea, but he'd be damned if he was going to lose. He began sending Section 2 agents to spy on the other Nerv branches to see how they were preparing. When he got the report that Germany was creating Eva scale outfits, he ordered Solomon to bling out the Evas however he could. Not having enough time to make 100 foot clothing, he was able to give the Evas neon, glowing running lights. This finally gained Evan's interest, and though he was hesitant to dance, he wanted to support his fellow pilots. At his behest, and since he wasn't using them anyway, Solomon replaced Unit 10's wing docks with giant speaker stacks. A mean streak had struck Evan, though, and he secretly called Nerv Germany and reminded them that Thorbjorn could be easily distracted by food. They promised to reward him for his intel.

When the time came, everyone gathered at the [[Campaign: Monolith|Monolith]] in Russia, where Evangelion scale lighting systems and fireworks greeted all the Nerv branches. There was to be an individual ladder tournament and a group dance competition to follow. Japan was clearly out of their element, as one pilot attempted to mosh while the other tried Kabuki dance. The Russian pilots did rather well, one of whom bested Thorbjorn, and by far had the best sportsmanship. The Germans, however, brought all 5 of their Evas to the dance off, and had clearly halted all other training except dance. They would stop at nothing and do anything necessary to win, but in the end, David came out on top, Unit 13's talent and his sheer force of will beating the bells and whistles of the Germans. He won an Eva-sized medallion, proclaiming that he was the "KING OF DANCE."

After the ladder competition, Rashiid noticed that Unit 10 was wearing a gold necklace that read "EVAN." When he interrogated Evan about this, Evan told him of his communication with the Germans. Ramsey panicked, knowing that his bad feelings regarding the huge object under the tarp in the German camp would turn out to be spot on. Solomon rigged a mechanism to deliver a steady stream of candy to Thorbjorn whilst in the entry plug, and Rashiid's security forces emptied every candy machine they could find. All this was set up in the nick of time for the group dance competition, and they all took their places. When Boston came out to dance, the Germans unraveled their tarp to reveal a gargantuan cake. Thorbjorn was able to resist, but only due to his candy injection system.

In the end, Boston won the group competition as well, Evan's speaker system and dramatic pose supplementing the smooth moves of David and Thorbjorn. Thorbjorn cut the cake and served it to the other Evangelions in celebration. All of Nerv cheered, and the world cheered with them. Nerv Moscow never recovered from the debt they incurred hosting the dance party, neither did they ever regret hosting it.

''"I agree that this is wrong on [pause] more levels than I understand. However, the fact remains that Commander Ramsey, in his [pause] infinite wisdom, has seen fit to have us participate in the Inter-Nerv Eva Dance Competition. It is my job to trust and follow his orders, even his crazy ones, to the best of my ability."'' -Colonel Rashiid.
