TEXT: FATE:​ ​Apotheosis​ ​Drive​ ​X​ ​-​ ​Neon​ ​Genesis​ ​Cybertron 
   
  The​ ​Angel​ ​threat​ ​has​ ​been​ ​defeated​ ​in​ ​a​ ​surreal​ ​apotheostic​ ​haze.​ ​ ​Or​ ​so​ ​we​ ​thought.​ ​An 
  independent​ ​astronomy​ ​station​ ​saw​ ​it​ ​first.​ ​ ​A​ ​much,​ ​much​ ​bigger​ ​threat.​ ​ ​Titan​ ​Angels. 
   
  Draft​ ​1.1​ ​ ​April​ ​22,​ ​2013​ ​-​ ​Blue​ ​Tyson 
   
   
  SETTING 
   
  The​ ​near​ ​Evangelion​ ​future.​ ​ ​The​ ​humans​ ​have​ ​fought​ ​off​ ​the​ ​Angel​ ​threat.​ ​ ​Or​ ​so​ ​they​ ​thought. 
  Pragmatic​ ​reality​ ​intrudes​ ​on​ ​psychedelic​ ​reverie.​ ​ ​A​ ​not-quite​ ​finished​ ​project​ ​is​ ​scrambled​ ​into 
  action​ ​to​ ​try​ ​and​ ​stop​ ​the​ ​threat.​ ​ ​The​ ​only​ ​defense​ ​that​ ​can​ ​possibly​ ​work​ ​is​ ​a​ ​MegaTitan​ ​and 
  this​ ​weapon​ ​can​ ​only​ ​be​ ​piloted​ ​by​ ​a​ ​Titan.​ ​Three​ ​senior​ ​Titan​ ​pilots​ ​draw​ ​lots​ ​to​ ​fly​ ​the 
  prototype​ ​and​ ​Ayanami​ ​wins. 
   
  A​ ​cataclysmic​ ​conflict​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​a​ ​victory​ ​of​ ​a​ ​sort​ ​after​ ​a​ ​17​ ​second​ ​confrontation.​ ​ ​Along​ ​with​ ​the 
  loss​ ​of​ ​North​ ​Korea​ ​(which​ ​no-one​ ​ever​ ​noticed​ ​in​ ​anime​ ​anyway)​ ​and​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​MegaTitan. 
  A​ ​recovery​ ​team​ ​finds​ ​what​ ​is​ ​left​ ​of​ ​the​ ​pilot​ ​inside​ ​the​ ​scrap,​ ​in​ ​a​ ​coma,​ ​short​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​limbs. 
  At​ ​the​ ​same​ ​time,​ ​some​ ​sort​ ​of​ ​backlash​ ​effect​ ​leaves​ ​the​ ​other​ ​two​ ​pilots​ ​curled​ ​into​ ​foetal 
  balls,​ ​gibbering​ ​about​ ​horrors​ ​from​ ​beyond​ ​space​ ​and​ ​time.​ ​ ​Nothing​ ​can​ ​bring​ ​them​ ​out​ ​of​ ​it, 
  and​ ​only​ ​an​ ​abundance​ ​of​ ​stuffed​ ​penguins​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​calm​ ​their​ ​ravings. 
   
  With​ ​their​ ​only​ ​hope​ ​of​ ​operating​ ​MegaTitans​ ​about​ ​as​ ​competent​ ​for​ ​combat​ ​as​ ​fluffy​ ​pet 
  rabbits​ ​the​ ​military​ ​and​ ​civilian​ ​heads​ ​agree​ ​that​ ​the​ ​time​ ​has​ ​come.​ ​ ​The​ ​authorisation​ ​of​ ​the 
  reactivation​ ​of​ ​a​ ​secret​ ​Antarctic​ ​base.

  ADVENTURING 
   
  The​ ​Titan​ ​Angels​ ​will​ ​keep​ ​coming.​ ​ ​Probably​ ​getting​ ​worse.​ ​The​ ​third​ ​MegaTitan​ ​is​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a 
  hybrid​ ​that​ ​requires​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​other​ ​Autobots​ ​[or​ ​Decepticons​ ​if​ ​that​ ​is​ ​how​ ​you​ ​fly]​ ​to​ ​pilot​ ​it, 
  along​ ​with​ ​a​ ​team​ ​of​ ​humans.​ ​ ​Eventually​ ​the​ ​Project​ ​wants​ ​them​ ​to​ ​be​ ​human​ ​only​ ​for​ ​obvious 
  
  reasons.​ ​ ​Any​ ​humans​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​operate​ ​the​ ​Green​ ​or​ ​Orange​ ​MegaTitans​ ​will​ ​be​ ​brainfried​ ​after 
  a​ ​few​ ​minutes.​ ​ ​As​ ​in​ ​out​ ​of​ ​Fate​ ​Points. 
   
  So​ ​player​ ​characters​ ​could​ ​be​ ​Autobots​ ​etc.​ ​or​ ​the​ ​team​ ​of​ ​humans​ ​working​ ​on​ ​the​ ​new 
  MegaTitan​ ​-​ ​pilots,​ ​scientists,​ ​engineers,​ ​etc.​ ​ ​It​ ​will​ ​require​ ​a​ ​crew​ ​of​ ​several​ ​to​ ​fly​ ​it.​ ​ ​One​ ​robot, 
  several​ ​small​ ​people. 
   
  Are​ ​the​ ​rumours​ ​about​ ​the​ ​God​ ​Machine​ ​true?​ ​ ​Is​ ​there​ ​another​ ​level​ ​of​ ​Titan?​ ​ ​How​ ​big​ ​is​ ​it? 
  How​ ​does​ ​it​ ​work?​ ​ ​Joining?​ ​ ​A​ ​three​ ​level​ ​Matrioshka?​ ​ ​Other?
