Chapter 4
MEMORIES
Sister Carlotta is explaining to a Battle School commander the children she has
found. They want Achilles, but when she told them he commited murder they changed their minds. Then when she told them of
Bean, they wanted to wait a coulple years before taking him in.
-- -- -- --
Bean is remembering things from his past,
where he grew up, how he was raised, and who his father was. He remembers the ‘clean place’* the most, so he and
Sister Carlotta make a map, tracing through all the areas he has been, hopefully leading back to the clean place, or maybe
the janitors house. The janitor had stolen him from the clean place, so if Bean found the janitor, maybe he could find the
clean place. Bean sneaks away from Sister Carlotta and begins his search for the janitor out in the open world. When he finds
the janitor, Sister Carlotta pulls up with a cop who takes the janitor in for questioning. Then from this questioning,
they find out that Bean was raised in an Organ Farm, but the company running this Organ Farm is untraceable.
*The clean place is a place in Bean's
past that he remembers. Bean was born in this place, but he escaped and hid in a toilet tank for a little while until the
janitor caught him and took him home, raising him for a while.

Chapter 5
READY OR NOT
The commanders don't want to bring Bean to Battle School, but they do anyways.
-- -- -- --
When it was time for Bean to head off
to Battle
School, Sister Carlotta cried a fountain. She had assumed that he felt the same
way for her, even though he did not. When he did arrive on the shuttle, the kids all around him looked so large, so babied.
After takeoff, a man emerged from the cabin and introduced himself as Dimak, and immediately started quizzing them on space.
Unfortunately, he picked on Bean a great deal. Dimak made sure that every kid on the shuttle knew that bean was smarter than
them, but yet he was much smaller than them. His first time being in space, Bean felt nauseous. But, as he reoriented himself
to the new directions of space, he felt better. The teacher noticed this, and picked on Bean even more.

Chapter 6
ENDERS SHADOW
A commander asked a teacher why his evaluation report on Bean was so long. The
teacher only replied by saying that Bean is so interesting.
-- -- -- --
Bean and the rest of his launchies arrived
on the station, and Bean takes in everything he can as he boards. His mind is already whirring as he figures out how everything
on the station works. The first thing they do upon arrival is visit the gym. He is told that the gym monitors heartbeats,
and has planned the exercise program to best fit them in Battle School. Bean then asks if they
monitor heartbeats through their clothing, and if their clothing was removed they would not be tracked. The gym instructor
told him firmly that he was not to remove any piece of clothing because the gym was set at the perfect temperature to work
out. After the gym is free time, and Bean starts exploring. He finds the older kids’ classrooms, but before he can go
anywhere else, classes change and a girl named Petra Arkanian leads him back to the Game Room. The game room is a room filled
with games (obviously), and students can work on different talents by having fun. Bean notices that with his size, he could
crawl into the air vents, and so he does. He can travel from place to place by the air vents, but he would have to get to
the gym and start working on special muscles. Sister Carlotta finds and looks around the clean place, but finds
nothing of interest.
