{{C.DTemplate|DN="ORBITAL RAIN - CONTROL INTERFACE|PA=-|H=100|S=100|EC=-|D=You 'stretch' your mechanical legs by taking a few steps out of the alcove your robot is stored in. You hear a loud thump with each step due to the weight of your robot.

You decide to test the weapon system, something you designed especially for this competition.

"Engage battle routines," you say.

'''<System:''' Engaging battle routines... Activating recall device... '''>'''

Essentially, all your weapons are stored in a pocket dimension back inside your labratory. Your robot is equipped with a recall device that lets you summon anything in this pocket dimension, no matter where you are. It causes some things to consume more energy than they otherwise should but it also allows you to have a large array of weapons at your disposal at any given time. You can also dismiss weapons when you are done with them for maximum mobility and sending them away burns up a neglible amount of energy.

'''<System:''' Battle routines set. System is now fully operational. '''>'''

"Machine gun," you say with a grin.

You turn your view to the arm of your robot as the recall device activates. A glowing green outline of a machine gun appears in your robot's hand, and in a flash of green energy it has materialized into a real machine gun. In a matter of a few seconds you went from having no weapons to having a machine gun.

You'd give it a test fire but not only would that burn energy but the mayor decided that anyone shooting in the staging area is automatically disqualified.

"Dismiss," you say, and in the same momentary green flash the machine gun is gone.

A series of chimes tells you that it is time, and before the chimes have even stopped you're already on your way toward the elevators that lead up to the arena.

"Competitors #11, and #25, you have five minutes to proceed to the arena. I repeat. #11 and #25 to the arena in five minutes."

You're there in less than half that time.
