SEELE's member for Japan and an accomplished scientist, engineer and metaphysical biologist in his own right, Doctor Ikari Yutada is the father of Ikari Yui and thus the grandfather of Ikari Shinji, Ikari Rei and the Ayanami sisters. He is also a man of great importance, as there is a strong possibility he worked on or had some knowledge of the operations of the Eternity Drive.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ikari was trapped in Japan when the war began and has gone into hiding. Both Japanese security forces and UN agents have spent a great deal of effort ever since, trying to find him and use him for their own ends.
Naturally, retrieving the good doctor is in the Federation's best interests. He had some dealings with Vercingetorix- the 'old' one- and so naturally, Vercingetorix has been quick to request a mission to retrieve him.
However, this will be a sensitive mission. Evading enemy UN agents is one thing, but staying away from Japanese security forces is another; if the team is discovered by either side, then the repercussions could be massive.

He searches around and finds a wardrobe; the look of it suggests things were abandoned in a hurry, and some clothes are still here, fading and rotting away. Clothes belonging to his father and to his mother. He searches around a little and finds an old diary of Gendo's. He flicks through it and quickly realises the diary begins a month before his birth, and an overwhelming number of the pages are focused on Shinji, and the tone is warm and loving. There are pictures of baby Shinji being held by his father, who looks proud. Shinji is overcome with grief. |

Charm: Convince Kikkawa that Shinji is really Shinji |
Success (5 DoS). Kikkawa immediately begins going "The Federation wouldn't send a fucking Eva pilot out like this", because he's -smart- but not -genre savvy-. San instantly steps up and points out that Kikkawa's smart enough to realise that if he really -is- Shinji, then that means the Federation couldn't -stop him-, so no one else is. She also says that Kikkawa is famous for being able to appraise people accurately at a look, so if he really looks at Shinji properly, and weighs him up, then Kikkawa would be able to tell. Finally she says that Kikkawa's too prudent, even if Shinji -were- a fake, to hide the information from Yutada… And Kikkawa's clever enough to be taping all of this so Yutada can say 'yes' or 'no.' Having been subtly but fully buttered up by San's apparently logical but gently charming approach, he admits that they make a good point and he will, for now, assume Shinji is who he says he is. |

Intimidate: Coerce his way in to see Kikkawa at the Pink Oyster |
Success (3 DoS). Shinji walks into the club, his shoulders back, his head high. He is -ice cold- and he looks and feels like Gendo at his best, especially since Shinji grew up at some point and is now pushing 5'11, meaning he stands out a hell of a lot. The club is… Seedy. It is luridly lit and a mix of gambling and the negotiation side of sex services is taking place as scantily clad girls (and some boys) ply potential clients with drinks and compliments. Parts of the club start to fall silent as Shinji passes, and some heavies sense trouble and begin to float towards him. He ignores them- San at his side- and goes up to the tallest heavy he can find, who is next to the bar… Then promptly turns, ignores him, turns to the bartender and orders a drink. As the bartender scrambles to get it, Shinji takes it, drains it and goes "Tell Kikkawa he has something he needs to hear. If he's not here, tell him anyway. I don't care how you do it." The Heavy scowls, leans in over Shinji, who finally shoots the man a chilling look. The Heavy hesitates, takes a few steps back, then vanishes inside the backstage. A few minutes later the Heavy emerges, awkwardly telling Shinji "The boss will see you. Go in ahead." … Shinji, San and (although they don't know it) Raphael are escorted into the behind of the club. Raphael quickly realises the place is filled with discrete backdoor exits, and it's obvious that despite everything, no sex happens on the premises- instead there's easy access to nearby hotels, some squalid, some splendid, for the act itself to happen, which helps keeps everything a little more grey inside the Oyster. They're brought to a sumptuous office- a desk made of beautiful dark red tropical wood, thick glorious rugs of dragons, tigers and phoenixes, wall banners, cabinets full of liquor and jewelry, couches of leather and velvet… But no Kikkawa. Not in person. Kikkawa isn't dumb enough to do that; he's speaking to you through a videoconference television. He appears to be in a limousine at the moment. Kikkawa is a thin, rake-tall man, with overly long arms and a narrow pinched face terminating in an overly long and pointed nose. He has tight black hair cropped close to the scalp and fine teeth. He has the ascetic look of a man who always appears ill, but in reality he is in perfect health. When he speaks he speaks in gentle, polite tones that bear no overt aggression, nothing except curiosity. "My men told me you forced your way in with nothing but dagger-looks and rock-like posture, just to speak to me. I'm honoured to meet such a very brave individual. You must have something very important to tell me." Shinji repeats the number Yutada used to call Kikkawa. Kikkawa doesn't look surprised or shocked; he says "What is that supposed to mean to me?" To which Shinji says "It's the number Yutada's been calling you on." Instantly Kikkawa's expression darkens. He says "That is not a careful answer… What is the meaning of this?" … Shinji straight up tells Kikkawa that he is Shinji Ikari, Yui's son, who is Yutada's daughter, and that he's here to find his grandfather and take him to safety. Shinji doesn't care about anything that gets in his way, but he says it in a careless tone instead of a tryhard tone, so it sounds pretty manly. (Cut to San's action) |

SPECIAL SUMMARY |
Acrobatics (Raphael): Failure+Driven, Flux success |
After San persuades Kikkawa, Shinji lays out their general actions of today and says he wants to help but only after a face-to-face meeting. Kikkawa says he will arrange a meeting tomorrow, and says that in Ueno Park, some of the cherry blossoms are sporadically blooming; if your story checks out, he will meet you there with Yutada. If the story does not then you will at least have lovely scenery in which to waste your time. San gives him the number to her burner phone, then they leave. Raphael hangs back to eavesdrop. Once they leave, the guards turn to Kikkawa for orders. Kikkawa basically tells them to double security and also, close up early tonight; he doesn't feel like tonight is going to be a good one. After that, Kikkawa closes up. The guards loiter around for awhile, and begin chatting about what just happened. Many of their comments are admiring, either talking about how manly Shinji was or the many things they'd do to San if given the chance. THe guards nearly shut the door on Raphael, but luckily a guard jams their foot in the door and Raphael is able to barely sneak out. |
