Big Boss and Miller would have to be pretty stupid to not call an evacuation order in case the UN inspectors turned out to be a trap. I know I'd make sure I would have evacuated non-essential personnel as well as most weaponry from Mother Base in case it turned out the UN inspectors were not actually that and were gunning us down. That includes ZEKE as well, especially seeing how Big Boss, per Huey's suggestion, trained against ZEKE specifically in preparation of an event where it got hijacked again.

We at least know Strangelove will be in MGSV thanks to that podcast. Kaz and Huey are obviously confirmed fro the Phantom Pain, and Chico and Paz are already confirmed for Ground Zeroes. That only leaves Amanda and Cecile as MIA for now. Hopefully they at least receive a mention. Good point, but then again we don't know at this point if XOF's ambush on Mother Base and the UN inspection mentioned in the trailer are the same thing; technically they could be two separate events as we are yet to find out how much actually happens during Ground Zero portion of MGS5. I guess XOF could technically take MSF by suprise some time after the inspection with the help of their "trojan horse" Skullface referred in the Ground Zeroes trailer. Then again as you stated Mother Base isn't that easy to destroy and neither are Metal Gears, so there is pretty high change Zeke survived XOF's raid.

I didn't know Strangelove was confirmed to be in it, glad to know that even though her survival might not be that suprising. Anyways her appearance probably means we also find out if the theory of her being Otacons mother is true or not. Kaz and Huey obviously survive destruction of Mother Base, but Paz and Chico might not, as there are know clear confirmation about them appearing after Ground Zeroes. As for Amanda and Cecile, those two are big question mark. I kinda fear theres a change we don't even hear from them again, as they are the most likeliest two to not even be aboard Mother Base during XOF's attack, as Amanda could have gone back to fight for the revolution with her Sandinistas and Cecile could have returned to Paris, as Big Boss promised to arrange her transport back home and her being civillian it really would only make sense for her to leave after how hairy Big Boss predicted things were going to get after Peace Walker.
