As it stood, he needed to have someone who could give him useful information put into place as the boy's slave. That meant that he couldn't exactly use the redhead, as she didn't have the experience to figure out what was going on, which was like the lack of intense education hard sciences that Katsuragi had. The best advantage that he could think of for someone who would be a useful... agent was someone who would know what to look for, and what they would be seeing, which would likely mean that he'd need a scientist. Ibuki was a possible choice, until he realized that she was also likely to sympathize with the boy, and didn't have a broad scope of experience.
Of course, Gendo thought it rather poetic that the person who had thought of the scheme was also the one he was choosing to be the agent, as he couldn't think of anyone better for the position. He might be losing the immediate access to experience and knowledge that Ritsuko Akagi embodied, but no one could doubt that she'd know what to look for. Getting scientists to interpret her observations wasn't the problem, but getting someone to give the younger Saotome as a slave who would be available in the time frame he could work with was a difficulty. Fortunately, she already had a lot of what he needed in the agent, like a natural loyalty to him, and a willingness to... pass on comments that the others liked.
Besides, she was certainly an attractive woman, and he knew that a lot of boys would love to have their own personal slave look like her. A leggy and older woman was certainly something to be proud to own, what with the 'kinky' aspect to it, and the fact that at least some would find it empowering to be in charge of someone who was older than them, even if it was only legally. Having a smart, lovely, and healthy slave woman would certainly be a distraction for any male of that age, save for those whose romantic interests lay elsewhere, which would help to keep the owner in question from looking too closely at what his new slave would be doing.
The cigarette smoking would likely have to go though, as she would need to be around heavy exercise, and he doubted that either Saotome smoked.
On the other hand, he was toying with making her 'full use'. Being able to enjoy that shapely body was certainly something that a teenaged boy could jump on, no pun intended. It would certainly give him something to be distracted by, which would be even more effective if the 'slave' persona would be set to actively desire encounters of that sort with her owner.
Not that he had any problems with doing that. He had no commitments with the good doctor, and her desires were merely tools for him to manipulate her into what he wanted her to do. In fact, he was certain that the boy would find her to be useful as well, even if he only used her medical skills for first aid. However, Gendo had no qualms about giving this boy his chief scientist, as they could both benefit from it. And if the 'Janus Technique' had some side effects, then he would simply have to deal with them as they came up.
Should the side effects be bad enough, he'd just dispose of her, perhaps just abandoning her to the boy's care, once he got what he needed.
In the mean time, he had to set up things for putting his plan into action, while:
