Dummy System

Item from Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno / Gainax

A system that pilots an Evangelion using a dead girl's thought patterns — removing the need for a living child's consent and reducing the Eva to a barely controlled berserker.

Also known as: Dummy System, Dummy Plug, Auto-Pilot System

What They Know

• Autopilot system using modified Entry Plugs that emulate a pilot's thought patterns
• Primary version based on Rei Ayanami's patterns — Mass Production Evas use Kaworu's
• Locks out the actual pilot's controls when activated — Eva fights with bestial aggression
• Gendo activated it to force Unit-01 to destroy the Bardiel-infected Unit-03 with Toji inside
• Developed and maintained by Ritsuko Akagi using data from the Dummy Plug Plant
• Represents NERV's willingness to remove pilot agency entirely when convenient
