Mark.09 is taken over by this SEELE program, visualised by the logo appearing all over the entry plug. This occurs after the 12th Angel surrounds Eva-13, as Rei-Q is staring at the giant Rei face forming in the core.

Rei-Q does not seem to have expected this, and later winders why that the "link" is not being restored. Mysteriously though, she is still able to maintain (presumably radio) contact with Asuka. (But perhaps she is psychically broadcasting as she did with Shinji in the interrogation room).
Anyway, Mark.09, under the control of this program, tries to take over the Wunder. Of most note here is the fact that the program's "data" seem s to be transmitted via the "blue (core) goop" tendrils that Mark.09 morphs into. How is "data" transmitted through this substances?

Midori Unable to reject the Adams' Vessel!
Tama Unidentified data is infiltrating the main control system!
Aoba It's hijacking control of the ship!
The presence of the Logos makes it clear that the (now "deceased" Seele) are the source of the program.
Without even getting into the mechanics of all this, I this there are some basic questions we can ask about this program.
1. What is the purpose of the program? What are its "orders" or imperatives?
2. Why does the program activate when it does? Why not earlier or later?
3. If the program is capable of so much why is Rei-Q even in Mark.09 in the first place?
4. Is this a normal computer program, or is it something more? A type of angel/eva/entity?
I think this thread could go in a lot of directions, but I think basic questions about the purpose of the program are a good place to start.
