	106	Misato's car on the road. Ashinoko and a city of high-rise buildings can be seen in the distance. Misato (OFF):“It's fine, it's fine. This is a time of emergency, and we need a working car now, right? And I am an international government official, after all. Everything will be O-K!”	Reichu: Our first glimpse of Tokyo-3, which is located in modern-day Hakone, its southern edge touching the top of Ashinoko (or Lake Ashi). thewayneiac: Lake Ashi is well known to Daikaijuu fans due to the fact that Godzilla fought Biolante there. Reichu: Misato's car is approaching the city from the south-west. The tall yellowish structures are not ordinary buildings, but Tokyo-3's light-condensing (or “mirror”) system, giant silicon-covered mirrors which are key to making the Geofront such a bright and sunny place. HeWhoPostsStuff: That being said, I wonder if any of the blissfully unaware citizens of Tokyo-3 ever wondered what the heck those giant mirrors were for… Reichu: Two words: Modern art. Sharp-kun: I have to say, I would be surprised if anyone in Tokyo-3 didn't know about the Geofront and the secret weapons systems. You've got whole buildings that are missile launchers. Surely they would also have tested the retracting ceiling buildings. I doubt it could be kept secret. Hexon.Arq: It's also a little peculiar how people don't seem very phazed beyond annoyance by “robot incidents”.
