NERV has been infiltrated by Yeerks, the survivors of Second Impact. SEELE would probably be made up of voluntary controllers-All of the old men and the Yeerks want ultimate power.
Idea - Behind some of the ominous slabs are some Yeerks themselves. After all, while they can just speak through their host, the host and parasite can often have differing opinions - and if both parties of SEELE fail to work together, it may well be their undoing. And not all of the SEELE members are hosts, and not all of the Yeerk hosts are actual members of SEELE.
Perhaps the only human member who is an actual host acting in harmony with his parasite is Chairman Keel?
Ah, I dunno. But to me, SEELE has always seemed more interesting when the faces behind the faceless slabs have diversity and, more importantly, conflict with one another - not about their goals, of course, but about how to go about them. Will the unspoken racial tension split the secret society down the middle? Can Yeerks and humans work together to achieve ultimate power and transcendence?
Or will Gendo Ikari and his sluglike partner-in-crime fuck it all up?
Heh, another idea. The Yeerk inside Gendo's head? Is actually Yui. The human who played host to her was of no importance to either Gendo or his wife...
This would change his motives quite significantly, and would provide an interesting twist to the whole thing...
