NERV was caught unprepared, they didnt realize that the war was not yet over. As all the fence perimeter of NERV falls under the hands of a special elite force of the Japanese Army, they soon realized that the last and most vicious enemy werent the angels but their fellow humans. Makoto Hyuga said "and we are all fellow human beings!" (Japanese: onaji ningen na no ni) All the post has fallen and NERV was slowly finding herself fighting a helpless battle, with Shinji nowhere to be found, Asuka still in a state of shock and the EVA-00 gone (it self-destructed on episode 23 along with the 2nd clone of Rei, In this episode Rei shed her first tears and said "Am I crying ? I want to be one with Shinji??" (Japanese: naite-ite-iru no wa watashi ? Ikari kun to issho ni naritai ?) and before she self-destructed to save Shinji she saw the warm smiling face of Gendou). Note: The first Rei was killed by the mother of Dr. Ritsuko Akagi but notice that in the movie, when she was strangling Rei-1, it wasnt Rei that was reflected in her eyes but that of Kaworu
