Inspiration: Lifelike - So Electric

Peter hops onto the elevator, going downward towards his unknown destination. As he got there, with Terminal by his side, make it to some sort of training ground. The setting Peter witnessed before him was unlike anything he had ever seen. Although, the scenery looked like something out of an abstract painting, it was a much different experience in real life. While Peter was still entranced by the area, Terminal calls Peter to focus on a small device. This device is, in Terminal's words, the Parsec Blaster. The device was of a small gun-like weapon - a blaster, if you will - It didn't resemble any real-world pistol and had a block-like build to it. Peter didn't know what to think of it, it sounds like a huge responsibility to carry such a gadget.

Terminal explains to Peter about the war against Man and Machine; the Votraxians, a race of intelligent, humanoid robots, are planning to take over the planet. The Votraxians are described to be powerful robots that not even the military could handle. Questioning the logic of having a child fight off a robot army, Peter focuses back to the Parsec Blaster to try to make any connections. Terminal continues to explain to Peter that it takes more than an army to defeat the Votraxians; the world needs smarter minds of many backgrounds, concluding that Peter is not the only chosen one. Peter was still uncertain of himself, but immediately accepted the weapon.

Just like a robot, heroes are made, not born. Terminal sets the stage for an obstacle course. It is a training session for Peter to familiarize himself with robots and other threats he'll encounter on his journey. Peter is nervous, but he'll succeed!
