Of course it could just have been in a lot of pain from a screwed up wire
somewhere. Although I think that the references made in relation to the
incident may very well be clues, I also consider that they might very well
be misleading clues.

It does appear that Naoko's contribution to NERV are the MAGI and that her
personality is the only thing that has endured her untimely demise.
