Where are we?

To bring you all up to speed, the Genesis Corporation apparently slighted Braces in the past somehow and now he wants revenge.  (He hasn't really said how they did it, so your guess is as good as mine, and he probably won't say until the climactic duel that I'm hoping occurs between the giant robots.)

I had been under the impression that Braces' secret lair of evil and giant robots was somewhere in the city.  Guess I was wrong because it is apparently on a secluded dirt road at the back of an old farm being reclaimed by the forest.  (Well, that or tucked away in someone's backyard potting shed.)  All I can say is that that thing must have a basement with some sort of sliding panel that can be used for lowering giant boxes full of robot because frankly, if that robot is only as big as the door, it won't strike too much fear into the hearts of law abiding citizens, and TRAZE-R will probably just roll right over it, ending the fight as soon as it begins, if not before.  Another option is that Braces put the robot together himself in the shed (even though this doesn't hold any water because we saw him open the crate and say that the robot was made overseas), but that opens up the potential problem of said robot not being able to fit through the door, which means that it would have to break through the wall, and then he wouldn't be left with much of a lair (if the thing didn't collapse right off the bat because it's probably made of particle board).
 
Braces also might not be of this Earth either, since the satellite in question appears to be orbiting Jupiter or some other ringed planet and the last time I checked, that didn't include the Earth.  (This story just keeps getting better and better.  I mean, there were hints about extraterrestrial visitors in the previous story, but this one all but confirms it...or not.)
