This may be a really stupid question, but I have to ask it 
nonetheless. In episode 2, there's a part where Gendou is talking to 
several men around a holographic 'table', at the head of which is Lorenz 
Kihl; they talk about investments and the HCP, after a fashion. Is this 
SEELE, or somebody else? It's just that from what I've seen and read, SEELE 
members are usually shown as anonymous monoliths. There were only four/five 
of them, which is something that gave me pause, 'cause SEELE has twelve 
members. It's just that I find it odd that if that is part of SEELE, that 
they would then use the monoliths, since the audience already know who 
(some of) them are. 
        Thanks in advance to anyone who takes pity on me! ^_^
