→‎Adding BGI in little places first: added hint at Iron Demon to Ch. 2
(so much for symmetry: here's a fourth point that's too important to leave out (it's always been in the Overview); also, clarity on the glider)

We know that it would be too disconnected to only have BGI appear in their own level and nowhere else, so first we show BGI observing Konoko from a distance, gradually making it more obvious that a third party is watching her. Think of this as a ramp-up to the BGI level.

1. The DeLorean at the start of Chapter 4 is a nice subtle way to start off, and is already done. Next, we make it a little more obvious….
1. This isn't strictly BGI-related, but in Chapter 2, the engine room was intended to have a bunch of working machines, and the OBANs are still there for some kind of assembly line machine, just not the geometry for its parts (right?). We could restore/recreate this in order to depict the construction of an Iron Demon. This connects Musashi Manufacturing to the building of BGI's giant robot. Depicting parts of the Iron Demon being manufactured before final assembly is also a golden opportunity to place feet – those signature big feet – on an assembly line. Players won't get the connection the first time around, but after playing through the Deadly Brain fight and hearing the "feet" line, they might realize on their second playthrough the significance of the feet in the manufacturing area.


2. In the opening to Chapter 6, when Konoko is outside TCTF HQ on her bike, we show that she is being watched, perhaps altering the cutscene camera work to emphasize our addition to the scene. Another car, or something else?

3. One more appearance, and the least subtle, before BGI finally gets in-your-face with Konoko. In Chapter 7, as Konoko is making her way around the large Atmospheric Conversion Center, there is a brief new cutscene where she thinks she sees movement on a level above her — she is being watched from a distance, but she is unable to see who the figure is (probably a ninja, but not the master ninja, as a Daodan host showing up would be too distracting for Konoko).

This last hint at a third party's involvement is noticed by Konoko herself, so she becomes aware that she is being monitored.
