I mean, if Rei is a Lilith/Yui hybrid, how was she cloned? NERV could have grown Rei in a tube filled with LCL, with a Rei I fetus being grown from a lock of Yui's hair (for all we know).

AuraTwilight wrote:Well, the first Rei is implied to have been created when they tried to retrieve Yui.
Azathoth wrote:As to how Yui's genes were in there: bear in mind that a human soul in Eva contains all the data required to create that human's body - by means of an AT field rather than normal mitotic human growth. Even after Yui dissolved, she had the means to reform her body at any point.
Azathoth wrote:Unit 01 was still connected to Lilith at this point: my guess would be that they tried to salvage Yui by stabilizing her AT field and sort of got that (as reflected in her physical form), but either Yui convinced Lilith to leave instead of her, or they just sucked out Lilith's soul by mistake.
Azathoth wrote:Basically salvaging doesn't work very well and Rei's backstory is mostly fanwank.

That's a pretty thin thread on which to hang the notion that Naoko was actually in charge of the operation.#20 wrote:RITSUKO:
Unfortunately, I didn't come up with the idea.
It's data from experiments completed ten years ago.
IBUKI
This kind of thing happened during the Eva's development?
RITSUKO:
It was before I worked here.
It seems my mother was here, but I only know the data.
Once again, I wish to state that I categorically reject the hyper-literal interpretation of that line of Fuyutsuki's. The obvious narrative intent of the series as a whole is that it was Gendo that (in some sense or other) 'created' Rei. In this line from #14, Fuyutsuki doesn't even seem to 'get' the full significance of who and what Rei is:Fuyutsuki calld Rei "The product of his despair", but in ep 25, Rei says she was created by Gendo.

What about the Unit 00 accident? That wasn't in my script.
IKARI:
It is no obstacle.
The re-synchronization test for Rei and Unit 00 was successful.
FUYUTSUKI (MONO):
Ikari is too concerned about Rei.
Again, I don't necessarily buy that Naoko was even directly involved in the salvage operation. It makes her reaction to meeting Rei 1 easier to swallow if she wasn't.Let me puzzle all this together: When the salvage operation started failing (Sabotaged by Naoko? Because Yui didn't want to leave? Both?)
