		Angelwatch team, activate! 
 Edit:  Wait, wait.  I thought that was supposed to be a volcano in Hawaii.  I am now confused.

		It's Japan. Hot springs, beaches, and active volcanos all go hand-in-hand here. At least, in some areas.

		Well, thats why Geologists call that particular tectonic interface "the Ring of Fire"...Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!

		I figured out why I was confused.  Neon Exodus Evangelion used a Hawaiian volcano, and my recall pulled up the wrong story.-- Bob

		Tokyo is the Center of the Universe, remember?
 I never got that far in NXE (just the first season), but I do recall that it relocated NERV to "Worcester-3." Why Worcester of all places
 would've been rebuilt twice is beyond me, though, was that ever explained?

		IF it's written by EPU at that point in time... it starts in Worcester.''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat

		No, seriously, how'd they explain NERV setting up camp there? UF, I guess it makes sense once you concede that that was where the Wedge Rats were alldirected to. Or that that's where q was, and therefore CLULESS...stupid Timey Wimey Ball that I never managed to figure out.

		You're mixing up the 'verses. NXE isn't in the UF 'verse, it's separate. Why Worcester? Never explained.-- Bob

		Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that it more or less made sense in the UF-verse, but not in the NXE-verse as far as I could tell. Not even ahandwave like the canon's Black Egg? *shakes head*
 
 This is the problem with the Rule of Cool -- it's always very dependent on the writer's sense of "cool."

I don't frequent Eyrie's boards... what pray tell is Gryphon's Law? "I do it because I CAN?"

It originally was Belasarius' Law, from Donald Belasarius, the television producer who made "Quantum Leap." His original quote, when confronted 
by people deconstructing his shows, was, "It's just a television show; try not to think too much about it."
