KAJI:“The committee... I mean, how do you
intend to explain this to Seele?”
FUYUTSUKI:“Unit 01 wasn't under our control.
This was an unexpected accident.”
IKARI:“Therefore Unit 01 will stay frozen until
the Committee gives us further orders.”
KAJI:“That's a very appropriate decision.
However,”
UrsusArctos: As seen at the start of the episode, the Committee near-immediately came to the conclusion (correctly!) that Gendo wanted this incident to happen and threaten their script. Of course, their trust in him is severely eroded after this, but I wonder how he managed to keep them off his back long enough, even with Eva-01 frozen.
