What if Kaworu sacrifices his body so Rei can leave?

Rei: Damn fool, do I *look* like Orpheus to you? Fine - just don't make me need to turn around after I save you.

Cue Kaworu wiping out all of the SEELE council except Kihl, who he instead kidnaps for use as a human sacrifice to get Rei back...
Kaworu: You wanted Eternity, Kihl, and now you're going to get it. Be careful what you wish for. Into the Core with you!

...Finding a pilot is going to be somewhat difficult.
Asuka: You mean I get take the asshole who hurt Rei and drive him around like a giant meat puppet and make him do embarrassing things? Why would think I'm not onboard with this?

Aforesaid meat puppet might have objections to that? Of course, there's always Kaworu-hax. And if not that...
Who said anything about piloting it, really? By then, it won't be all that necessary, so just toss it in a hole without battery and be done with it.

...That's actually not a bad idea. I'd assumed we were either past Armisael, or that Kaworu was sufficiently out in the open as an Angel by now to use that power against Armisael directly, but if not...
Hmm... if we use Kyoko's notes on the safeguards she used for her contact experiment, we can get Kihl's soul (or enough of it) into the EVA, to trade for Rei's, while keeping a body. We use that and a brain scan to build a Kihl Lorenz dummy plug that gives enough control to remotely walk Unit-00 up to Armisael. We set Unit-00 to invert its own AT-field once Armisael fuses with it, then walk/crawl into a safe zone and self-destruct. Brilliant!

Hm. Rei shows that a half-souled entity can in fact synch with the other half of their soul...
...hm. What if scenario: Kyoko becomes the pilot of EVA-02 (after somehow getting stabilized enough).

Good idea. Let's put someone who is both suicidal and delusional in charge of a two hundred ton invincible murder machine.

Well, she just needs to be a meat puppet. Surely there are some drug cocktails that will keep her docile and sufficiently stable as well.

I'm sure that this idea would go over just swimmingly with the other pilots, Ritsuko, and Misato.

Heh. Two kinds of people...
Just as well as Rei's treatment went in canon, i.e. it never proved to be a problem where the other pilots etc were concerned.

That raises another interesting question: suppose which halves of Kyoko's soul wound up where after the Contact Experiment were reversed? The hostile, antisocial, resentful aspects of her personality get stuck in the EVA, while the side that loves her daughter more than anything is in Kyoko's human body? Ubermom!Kyoko will most likely agree to pilot to keep her little girl safe, but must meld minds with a worst/most dysfunctional version of herself in order to do so...
This whole setup assumes that it wasn't just the pain of having her soul split that left canon human Kyoko crazy the particular way she did, and that part of it was having the maternal aspects of her personality stripped away and imprisoned within the EVA. Perhaps reversed Kyoko would cling closely to Asuka and become even more affectionate to self-medicate the pain of her split soul?
EDIT:... Now I'm picturing this version of Kyoko being a lot like the Shinji Ikari Raising Project manga version of Kyoko, taken to extremes: loves her daughter like nothing else, but her elevator either doesn't quite go all the way to the top floor any more, or else skips a few levels on the way there these days

Is that an M3 Lee? Jesus, I knew they were crappy tanks, but not THIS crappy.
