{{quote|The way I avoided that with ''Nobody Dies'' is that I kept it in a close, but alternate version of the canon timeline. But that was the kind of story that I wanted to tell. You don't want to do that with the setting - this is closer to ''Aeon Natum Engel'' than ''Nobody Dies''. You're taking the ideas of ''Eva'' and putting them in a more hard scifi/''Half Life'' verse. I say go for it.

The fic itself picks up in 2041, [[Continuation|23 years after the Combine has been ousted from the planet]]. While humanity still haven't recovered completely, they harvested and reverse-engineered most of the leftover Combine technology for themselves. In these times, a certain Kaworu Nagisa transfers to Tokyo-2 after his old school takes issue of him having taken lessons from [[Gurren Lagann|Kamina]]. Shortly after his arrival, he gets into the middle of several incidents which seem to be connected to a mysterious classmate of his, Rei Ikari. And what's the deal with those [[Humongous Mecha]]s built illegally by the Artificial Evolution Laboratory?
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
** ''Valentine Shenanigans'', where Kaworu learns the hard way that most bishies have an [[Unwanted Harem]].
Originally entitled simply ''Ascension'', ''Strategic Cyborg Evangelion'' can be read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6313201/1 here].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Prologue]]: the fic's first chapter opens with what appears to be a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] ending with a [[Apocalypse How|class 5 apocalypse]] via [[Colony Drop]]. The G-Man's narration implies that it's actually Kaworu [[Dreaming of Times Gone By]].
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: the Confederate Navy's ''Nexus''-class escort carriers. One appears in the second season, [[Dynamic Entry|scrambling its fighter wing during atmospheric reentry]].
* [[All Planets Are Earthlike]]: ''heavily'' averted. It's specifically mentioned that Earth is the only planet where humans can survive without EVA equipment.
** Case in point is Proteus: while being a Goldilocks planet, it has an unbreathable nitrogen-helium-CO2 atmosphere, no surface water and slightly higher surface gravity. The former two however is being corrected via [[
*** [[Heavyworlder]] is also averted. Children born on Proteus are mentioned to have a noticeably higher risk of developing skeletal deformities as simply being born on a planet with 1.1g does not make a human adapted to it.
* [[Ancestral Weapon]]: {{spoiler|the Beretta Shephard gives to Asuka as birthday present is implied to be the very same gun he carried back in ''Opposing Force''}}.
Line 42 ⟶ 45:
** Ramiel: {{spoiler|since it couldn't shoot and use an AT-field at the same time, it launched several attack drones to do offense while he shifted to defense}}. Justified in that it was being remote-controlled by Bardiel.
** Gaghiel: {{spoiler|you're an aquatic creature and is fighting against a flying opponent who can simply go higher if you try to catch her? No problem, you've got a [[Breath Weapon]] for that}}.
** Israfel: {{spoiler|although he can split in two, he brought a few thousand [[Starfish Alien]] [[
* [[Death From Above]]: {{spoiler|Asuka's debut battle against Gaghiel plays out with the Angel swimming and the Eva ''flying''}}.
* [[Description Porn]]: the [[Meta Mecha|Type-F Broadside Assault System]] gets one when it first goes into battle.
Line 110 ⟶ 113:
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Rei's attitude towards Lilith
* [[Organization with Unlimited Funding]]: ''averted''. The AEL had to become a PMC to avoid getting bankrupt after Kaworu racked up such an impressive collateral damage against Shamshel.
* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: pretty heavily implied that the Confederacy of Man is actually this: authoritarian government plus a not-so-[[Secret Police]] composed of [[Political Officer|Political Officers]]
* [[Portal Network]]: there's one that links an unspecified number of systems together. It's pretty slow (less than a parsec per day) and can't operate in gravity wells (the Earth gate dodges that issue by being anchored inside the Earth-Moon [[wikipedia:Lagrangian point#L1|L1 Lagrangian point]]).
* [[President Evil]]: Keel
