The Sailor Senshi aren't going to ignore a call for help like that.
Indeed not. Usagi gave her word:
Prisoner Problems Part 10: The longest walk to an office ever
Taking a step closer to the pale skinned woman, Usagi looks down to her, a soft warm smile on her face. "Sailor Mercury warned us," She says plainly, "Which means that whatever this Truth-maker is doing, it's not perfect. I'll be able to see it as well." A hand slips up to the shorter woman's chin, pointing her face to Usagi, "I won't let them hurt you, or any of your clan."
Usagi's parents deserve to know where their daughter is going. But they do not have the right to stop her.
For the rest… yes to Makoto, Rei and Minako. No to Ami, Haruka and Michiru.
Plenty of firepower. Reliable backup. Minimal issues from curfew breaking.

I feel like this is the obvious choice, but also a rather balanced choice.

Ami is the smart girl on the outside, if we do get caught, she's the one who can get us out of it, or at least ruin Onogoro's day while we're getting out if she can't. Of the ones left behind, she's the one i'd consider taking the most due to her stellar performance against the Empty Faces.

Haruka and Michiru, much like myself, need sleep. After sleep, they'll be ready and willing to be the Brawn to Ami's Brains if we end up caught.

The only one I might consider leaving behind would be Minako, but more because having the most (currently) experienced Senshi on the outside could be very useful for ruining Onogoro's day. Buuut, she's got the worst reaction of the entire bunch if we push her back, and it's not like she wouldn't be helpful inside. We can tackle getting her a social life when shit is exploding a little less.

Rei offers Mysticism, Muscle, and Burnination, Makoto offers Martial Arts, a LOTTA muscle, and Electrocution. And it's not like anyone other than us gives a shit about their education, except maybe Sister Rose.

And the kids stay outside, munching popcorn 'cause they know what's gonna happen because the Senshi told 'em in the future so this is gonna be cool!

My logic is simple: if the ritual works, Ami and Rei have the best chance of figuring it out and reversing it.
 
"I… I have to be honest, Sailor Moon, I know that I have no right to ask this. Not after everything that you've done, not just for the government, but for yokai all across Japan. And I… I understand what you've told us, that you believe this attack is in part a trap designed to- to imprison you, to limit your powers, whether or not you expect it to succeed. But…" she pauses. "Unnati's warning only goes so far as to tell us the scale of this binding ritual, and the numbers they'd need for that alone mean that this attack is going to be powerful. We don't know what to expect. We're still improving our defenses, but I don't know if we can handle a full force attack by the Ministry- not that they've ever had cause to make one in a very long time. So I… no, we would… would very much appreciate any further aid you and your Senshi might be willing to offer. I'm sorry for asking for even more, after all you've done for us this week alone, let alone in the past two months… but we're desperate. I'm desperate."

I imagine there's some real frustration in that request.

Because MCAT really has grown into their own since that first meeting at the Police Station. Recruiting capable personnel, unlocking their own tech tree, gaining a positive reputation, bringing actual hope to youkai for the first time in forever. All with boundless gratitude for the Senshi, who have granted them the breathing room to develop properly instead of being compelled to perform drastic and inefficient measures just to survive.

Now MCAT's inherent foe and rival for "legitimacy of magical governance" is about to make their big move, and Onogoro apparently has something designed to hurt the Senshi specifically. Nothing would give Samui greater satisfaction than being able to say that it's MCAT's turn to take the lead and keep the Senshi safe from debilitating harm... and thus there is nothing more frustrating than the sober understanding that no, MCAT's not quite there yet.
 
Minako is our body double, right? Should we do anything with that? If it's not a completely foolish tactic it would make Minako feel especially useful, at least.

She might very well suggest it... but something like "bait the enemy into thinking you're Sailor Moon, when they cannot defeat Sailor Moon physically and are heavily relying on a magical god-binding ritual to subdue the Senshi" kind of implies a willingness to take a trap meant for Sailor Moon and spring it on Sailor Venus, leaving Sailor Moon free to act.

And we didn't vote for "Spring" or "Ignore" the trap.

Don't send the exhauated senshi. They'll be far more useful resting up in preparation for things going wrong. As is they're the most likely to actually be captured in the first place!

I do like Escape Plan as well, so I flipped a coin so I wasn't nullifying or splitting my vote.

Sadly, the two plans aren't different enough for me to make a cheeky third option titled Belay Plan or Escape Rope :V

My reasoning is that Ami is the one who would be able to analyze the ritual and undo it. Leaving her at home adds time.

Honestly I already forgot about the previous vote.
 
My only concern regarding "who do we send into the trap" (beyond the obvious) is our plans for the rest of the week. what were we doing on friday?
