The Nisan Laser to Babel Tower (Xenogears) - am I bad at maths?

Not going to give a fancy explanation for this, I'll just cut right to the chase:

Here's the problem I have: 0.03 (0.026) is around 1/30th the speed of light (I have it as 670mil here). The problem is that our own speed charts have the highest range of that figure (0.11% SoL) at only 767269mph (Massively Hypersonic, for those curious), whereas I have that range of % at around 22x that (calced 'properly', it's still in the millions when it likely shouldn't be). Have I goofed? Or are our speed charts in need of reform?

EDIT: here's the cinematic, for those curious (timestamped).
