"DATA, could you do something about this? Antonio is driving me up the wall," Mrs. Andersen asked helplessly.
"Affirmative. Enter the Simulator Room. I will replicate Fontasia inside there."
"Really? What's this Simulator Room all about? Is it a real room?" Mrs. Andersen was incredulous, curious and sceptical all at the same time.
"Simulator Room is just below the command deck. There is a machine inside which could reflect the happenings on Fontasia using Virtual Reality(VR) technology. VR technology is a simple technology using mathematics concept of Matrices taught in elementary school. It uses direct mapping of real-world co-ordinates of atoms and recreate its images in another part of space. The only limitation is that an object in the parallel universe will be created with a fuzzy image," DATA explained.
"That's wonderful, let's do it," Mrs. Andersen was glad to have found a solution. Her head was beginning to spin after listening to DATA's explanation. She always get giddy when listening to technological explanations.
"Affirmative."
Antonio looked up at Mrs. Andersen and grinned widely displaying his adorable little pearl-white teeth.
Before the start of the robot competition, Mrs. Andersen and the kids went down to the second level immediately below the command deck. They came to a room with the label, 'Simulator Room', on the outside of the door. Once they got in, everyone sat down comfortably on a futuristic U-shape sofa, waiting expectantly, as if to catch a performance by a magician. This Simulator Room was a big, rectangular room with a kind of panel on the wall beside the main door. This wall panel had flickering lights on it and served as the control for the simulation system. On the ceiling was attached the simulator device, which was a thin, circular glass panel with six green leave-shaped patterns on it. These leaves were arranged in a regular pattern with their bases joined together. DATA stood next to the wall panel of lights and flashed her palm on a biometric sensor on the panel.
"Simulation system activated. Scene formation will begin in five minutes' time," DATA reported.
The simulator device on the ceiling began to spin slowly at first. It picked up speed rapidly and before long was spinning with a 'whirring' sound. After five minutes had elapsed, myriads of colourful lights streamed down from the spinning simulator device above. A three-dimensional scenery with mountains in the background and sparse vegetation slowly began to take shape. Fontasian landscape was rugged, rugged and still rugged. The flat plain behind the Temple of Azura where the robot competition was to be held was relatively free of vegetation except for the presence of a few tall trees that looked like coconut trees. On a remote mountain range visible from the Temple of Azura, an enclosed valley existed which was the roosting place for pterodactyls.
Pterodactyls are flying reptiles belonging to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods during Earth's evolution. Their appearances are characterised by elongated heads and wings consisting of a flap of skin supported by the very long fourth digit on each front leg. As this happened to be the breeding season for the flying reptiles, many eggs were laid in nests perched high up on trees.
Behind the Temple of Azura, a total of four robots stood motionless in a wide open field, accompanied by their respective owners, except Beebo. Military supreme commander, Zorak, was a hairy muscular male, no different from humankind. He had dark eyebrows, deep forehead and a goatee. He spoke with a bass. His attire resembled that of an ancient Roman war-general. Zorak was nearly bald except for a thick row of hair running through the centre of his head to his neck behind. He stood in front of the robots and looked awe-inspiring.
The Best Robot Competition was divided into four rounds. The robot that made it to the final round would be the winner. If there were more than one qualifying robot
