MISATO:“It was a silver lining that
Commander Ikari wasn't here.”
RITSUKO:“If he'd been here, you'd have been fired
before he ever saw these.”
UrsusArctos: This does make me wonder who they'd bring in to replace Misato if they did fire her. The bridge bunnies seem too low in the command hierarchy and too preoccupied with their own technical stuff. Gendo and Fuyutsuki are often away on their own sinister business, which means that the only two people that she obviously answers to and who are shown to have direct authority over Eva operations can't be trusted to keep an eye on things.
