The Fort
The Fort is tasked with defending New
Tronic City, supporting Big Guy and Rusty, and the like. It seems to be
located on high ground above New Tronic City's harbor, in approximately
the same position as the Presidio of San Francisco. Quark Tower
The largest building in the Fort is a
gigantic hangar, with a defended landing field on top and
another couple of hangars, one used to contain captured enemy robots
and the other containing tanks and planes.
In this view of the top of the hangar, you can see
the Quark Tower in the background behind the gun emplacement. General
Thorton's office is at the top of the wing closest to the harbor.
General Thorton's office contains a desk with paper trays and
personal computer/communication screen, two flags (one the alternate
world circled star on three red and two white stripes, and one a
conventional US flag), a pretty neo-Gothic window overlooking the
landing field on top of the big Fort hangar, and a full set of samurai
armor. All this is seen in ep 1. In ep 108, we see that it also
contains a coffeemaker and supplies on a rolling tray table to his
right, a bomb on a shelf next to the armor, a tattered 13-star
American flag in a case on the wall, and a set of two straight Japanese
swords. There are also three framed pictures of leaves and a plain
white and brown Chinese vase. Not an ego wall guy, apparently; the
only reference to himself is a simple case hung on the wall which
contains a cavalry sword, four medals, and something I can't identify.
Over his desk there is another case containing a brace of pistols and
some other stuff. The general also has a blotter and pen set on his
desk and some kind of computer screen set into his wall -- perhaps for
climate control.
