"Next up," Richard muttered as he hovered steadily over the testing range, "plasma time."
He angled downward—both palms glowing faint cyan as the dual plasma projectors powered up with a high-pitched charge. Target silhouettes popped up from recessed floor panels, spaced out across the steel floor like a kill gallery.
{ Plasma projectors online. Charging sequence complete. Fire at will, Sir. }
"Let’s see what you can do."
He pointed his hands down and fired.
Twin beams of searing plasma erupted from his palms—white-blue, vicious, and screaming with ionized energy. They struck the targets with explosive bursts of heat and light, reducing each one to molten slag within seconds. Steel warped and hissed. The air shimmered from the residual heat trails.
"Ho-ho-ho," Richard cackled mid-air. "I am Ironman—without the lawsuit!"
He swept sideways, spinning once in the air, and fired another barrage. The Prometheus armor auto-compensated for his erratic movement, plasma trails carving arcs of white-hot death through the dummy line.

"Well done, Sir," she said. "Accuracy remains at 96.7 percent. Do you wish to proceed to dynamic combat testing?"
