(Has an immediate mental image of Rei giving control of
Instrumentality to PenPen.

Contemplates the end result of millions of years of human
biological and social evolution and development being a
total focus on the care, feeding, and hugging of penguins.)

(Starts flashing on what would happen if Rei gave control
to OTHER characters.

Maya:  Wouldn't care as long as Sempai felt for her what
she feels for Sempai.

Ritsuko:  We'd all be Vulcans.

Asuka:  God help us.

Misato:  This actually would be pretty interesting.  It appears
the person in Control tries to fix the problems they see with 
the human condition.  So Shinji eliminates the Hedgehog
Dilemnia by eliminating all the barriers between humans.

But Misato doesn't have THAT problem, she has others.  Her
conflicted feelings about her father, her inability to
commit to Kaji romantically, her self-destructiveness... I
suspect the Brave New World Misato would create would be
VERY different indeed from what we've got now.  Or possibly
could even imagine.)
