	030	A:“Now, the rest of this meeting concerns only the committee.” B:“Ikari-kun, your presence here was appreciated.” The committeemen all vanish, along with the light on the floor. Only Keel and Ikari remain. Keel:“Ikari. There is no turning back.” Keel vanishes, as well. Ikari:“——— I know.”	thewayneiac: Hey, magic! Reichu: Or, rather, more of that lovely holographic technology that we first saw in the Command Room. In a sense, this usage of the technology is more impressive: It is able to generate creepy committee men that are indistinguishable from the real thing (aside from being tinted, but that was done on purpose). Apparently real-time translation technology has been developed, as well — or perhaps the fact that they all speak Japanese can simply be attributed to the Magic of Fiction. OMF: Keel's little informal parting here indicates that he may be closer to Gendo than the other members. (We'll see another private aside of theirs in #21', as well.) Gendo's good standing with Keel might go a ways towards explaining why the committee tolerates his actions later.
