Context: A dangerous crisis is happening, and the boss man has just received
partial report on the entire incident, but enough to be informed what's going
on. The full report is waiting on some labatory analysis of leftovers from
previous incident in the crisis.

After the subordinate who reported leaves, his aide says:

> ともあれ解析待ちかな～

I'm assuming this is ともあれ/解析/待ち/かな～ and the aide is wondering if they should
wait for the full (complete) report. Am I right here? The big boss answers:

> あぁ
>
> 対策をして挑まないと同じ轍を踏むことになる

I'm guessing that Aaa, is less him saying they should wait but more
exasperation because he thinks they need to start making countermeasures now
or the same thing will happen again.

Of course it could be a confirmation and mean "Yes, we need to prepare
properly or else things will take the same course."

question
translation
What does ともあれ解析-待ちかな～ mean?
待ち after a suru-verb/noun works as a suffix that forms a no-adjective. It
means "waiting for ～".

>   * 開店待ちの行列
>   * 今【いま】何【なに】待ち【まち】？  
>  (informal) What are we waiting for?
>

So ともあれ解析待ちかな means "Anyway, I guess we have to wait for the (full) analysis."
かな (and か) means "I wonder if" or "I guess" depending on the intonation, but
when かな is written like this, you have to guess from the context. あぁ here
simply means "Yeah (we have to wait)".
