Low angle shot of the overbearing captain and his first officer. He speaks with undisguised sarcasm.
CAPTAIN (ON):“...apparently, that was my mistake.”

UrsusArctos: If I'm not mistaken, these two grumpy officers are a direct reference to Captain Mayfield and Executive Officer Holland of the USS Abraham in Nadia. They're never named, however, and have different voice actors.
Kendrix: The “proud obstructionist old fashioned soldiers who want to solve everything with guns” are of course a common Sci-Fi trope (In Nadia you also see many examples of the military only making problems), but they’re also here to create a wider, realistic world where other organizations/the older order would have a response to the advent of unprecedented things like the Evangelions – the average joe soldier would not understand why there needs to be a weapon with an AT field.
