Now here's the funny. People will KNOW that something is not right with
Project E. There will be conspiracy theories flying left and right. But tell
me, could any of those theories be as outlandish as the truth? Just imagine
if one of the conspiracy nuts talked with Kaji over a beer one night. Poor
dude's head would be jelly.

NGE fanfics are really cool for exploring series what-ifs. There was an
interesting one I read exploring the Evangelion world many years after Third
Impact failed. Among the interesting tidbits, the public figures within Nerv
and the associated organizations were put on trial for crimes against
humanity, Nuremburg style. Seele of course got off scott free because nobody
knew who they were but as for the others . . .

Aw hell, why summarize it? For those who are intrigued, here's a review with
a link to the story if you're interested. It's very good.
