"Any serious questions?" Dr Akagi asked.
"Two spring to mind," Shinji asked seriously. "One, how do I use the bathroom in here, since I'll basically be drinking LCL every time I swallow and two, how much do I get paid?"
"The LCL continually circulates and filters itself, so no worries there and for the second… I have no idea," She admitted.
"Are you really asking for money to protect the human race?" one of the techs demanded.
"So you aren't paid?" Shinji asked. "You are working for free?"
"I have student loans…" the tech trailed off and buried her head in her work.
"Yeah," Shinji said. "So, if I am risking my life fighting Angels I'd like to be able to afford to get drunk and laid in my off hours, preferably with my own place, even if it is low rent."
"We can discuss it after the battle," Misato suggested.
"I have a have a much stronger bargaining position before the battle," Shinji pointed out.
Gendo and Fuyutsuki exchanged glances.
