I have to say it: what could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if they (or anyone else they could grab, whether it be random techs, maintenance workers, Section 2....) will make some more back-up plans or do strategy sessions. I think they will have enough trouble trying to take care of themselves or their work (Ritsuko being a head scientist, though I don't recall how much work Misato does). Will we see what some of the other employees in the know (Aoba, Hyuuga, Ibuki, Section 2....) think about this whole snowball of hell? The commanders seem to have it all figured out though; too bad they are not the kind of people to share it with others.
Is it even possible to speed up the repairs of Unit-00 & construction of Unit-02? Or are those constrained by the scenario? Well, not for the former.
Also, if you are making Gendo a bit unsure (or merely curious?) in the snippet two above, it seems kind of off. I suppose that is one card you are keeping close to yourself?
