"All right, it looks like it's three laps around the course," Yamato says, peering intently at the route. "And five sections on the course: Starts with a stretch with no obstacles; then moves into this more industrial area with more obstacles and what seem to be moving lasers; then the route leads up into the upper atmosphere; and then down into these crowded underground tunnels. Once I get out of that, the last section is just another stretch without any obstacles."
