L.C.L. is the liquid that fills an Entry Plug once a pilot is on board. It is viscous and has an unpleasant odor similar to that of blood. Once inside an Entry Plug, the L.C.L. is electrically charged, altering its molecular configuration and turning its color from a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLTiPvFUBvk]murky orange[/url] to a clear translucent.

Some fans used to call the oxygenated liquid as 'Link Connect Liquid' but LCL is actually [url=http://wiki.evageeks.org/Lilith] Lilith's blood[/url] , a steady stream of it pouring down the cross, and it is the true source of the LCL used in Evangelion Entry Plugs. Indeed, the "LCL Production Plant" is really just a large artificial lake of LCL formed by it pooling on the level beneath Lilith's red cross. The LCL apparently flows out of the exit wound formed by the Spear of Longinus in Lilith's back (as there is no LCL flowing out of the front of its torso) though Nerv has been collecting LCL from Lilith since long before the Spear was recovered in 2015 (in Episode 12). Several production sketches reveal that there are actually tubes coming out of the back of Lilith's head, labeled "LCL tube A" etc., which may be another means of extracting it.
