Apparently the sysops on the SDF-3 have to allocate an appreciable proportion of the ship's available mainframe memory to Lisa Hunter's 'kill files'.

You didn't think all that computer time was just for Lang's AI experiments?

Yeah, it's SUPPOSED to be the Major from 'Ghost in the Shell', but the 'younger' look and the hair make this look like Minmei.
Terrified yet?

Could be worse; there's a 'First Contacts' fanfiction which has the Cylons cornering the Galactica after it's been worked over by the Allspark.
They are so dead. And the Colonials must have freak when that happen. And would not mind reading that one.

Another dull, boring day at the dimensional nexus known as Tokyo-3 Gateland, extradimensional multiversal crossroads.
Ho-hum.
At least until an Outbound expedition came running back through a new Gate, looking as if all the hounds of hell were hot on their heels.
“SHUT THE GATE! SHUT THE GATE!!! LOCK IT DOWN! SEAL IT UP! QUICK! BEFORE THEY DISCOVER IT !!!”
”What’s wrong!? What happened, Lieutenant?! Report!”
“We-we-we went through the Gate and discovered another Tokyo-3 analogue, just as the probes said, but when we went through, we found the place swarming with Ree!”
“Ree? What are Ree?”
“Rei Ayanami clones! Scads of them!”
“...So what? We have lots of Ayanamis here. The Ayanami Society handles them all the time-”
”You don’t understand! These aren’t Ayanamis! They’re -REE-!”
”-poor Mitchell, he got BEFRIENDED.”
“And that’s why you have to close the Gate! Oh please, seal the goddamn GATE!!!”
#“Sealing the Gate! Emergency shutdown! Emergency shutdown!”#
”Okay, you better have a damn good report to justify this.”
“I will. I will. Believe me, this isn’t a mistak-”
*Hee-eeyyy*

Very. The Ree are from Greg H. Landsman's "Evangelion: Nobody Dies" series which postulates what if Gendo and Yui ahd been caring, compassionate, mad-as-hatters scientists and parents who sent Shinji away to be safe, and allowed the Rei clones full sentience...which for what are essentially avatars of an eledritch alien being(Lillith) is damn dangerous.
We're not sure what 'befriending' entails exactly, but it seems to differ from person to person. In the past it has involved:
-Squeaky hammers
-Automobile damage
-Root vegetables
-Theft/violation of ocular virginity
Victims of befriending tend to suffer from PTSDs, and acquire the ability to navigate insanely narrow ventilation systems like the Ree, and several random levels of badassery as well...and Stockholm Syndrome apparently factors into it too.
Ree are also not to be allowed to learn about 'babies' or 'grandbabies' or anything touching on reproduction.
Ya, it sounds kind of bad, but it's the last part that has me really worried. Alpha 11 wrote:[
