For some reason or another, Thanos left this city-center largely intact. His soldiers destroyed all the public transit lines in and out of the city and cratered the suburbs to leave the city core standing on a secluded island. From there they went in, building to building taking prisoners. Every single advanced science research center remaining completely untouched and all of the local workers were forced to continue working - though with a new agenda.<br/>Producing the right technological aids was crucial to his work in America, and Tokyo was the leader in cutting-edge technology. <br/>There were also whispers of teams being deployed to all of the active volcanoes in the entire Pacific Rim... though as to why Thanos was scouting those areas, none could even guess. </div>[/quote]
