Chapter 7
EXPLORATION
Two commanders are talking about the time it takes launchies leaving the mess hall
and arriving in the barracks. One student took 21 minutes getting back, although they do not know who it is due to the fact
that their system does not track people like that.
-- -- -- --
Bean and his launchies now get to set
up their desks. However, Bean cheats the system and sets up two. He sets up the one in his bunk and the one for the bunk above
him. Their teacher, Dimak, told them that for free time they could play the fantasy game, although Bean knows that by playing
that staff on Battle School could tell more about Bean, stuff that he doesn’t want them to know. After getting familiar
with their desks, their group goes on a tour of the station. Their tour consisted of mostly things that Bean had already seen,
but he enjoyed it anyways. Their tour ended with the gym, where they all had a good workout. At the gym, Bean began doing
exercises that he knew he would need for crawling around f in the vents. Then it was free time. Bean revisited the Game Room
and met Bonzo Madrid,
an enemy of Wiggin. Madrid gladly explained all of Enders’ bad points,
but Bean didn’t care. He just wanted to find some information about Ender, to become more like him. That night before
lights-out, Bean signed on as his second name, Poke, and wrote a journal that he knew would give the commanders the idea that
he was trying to turn Battle School into
the streets he came from.
Colonel Graff sent Sister Carlotta an
email asking for everything that she knew about Achilles. When she talked to him, she explained to Graff that Bean only did
things to make other people think the way he wanted them to.

Chapter 8
GOOD STUDENT
The commanders are talking about Beans' good grades. He only looks through things
once, but he gets perfects on all his tests. They think that he is collecting information about the teachers without giving
the teachers anything about him.
-- -- -- --
Bean has made a secret spot on his desk
where the teachers could not find it unless they knew what they were looking for. Using this, he signed on as other people
and got detailed maps and emergency procedures for the station and stored them in this folded he created. Doing this, he learned
a lot more about the station than he would have found out normally, like the station had 3 wheels. One day, Dimak came in
and talked to Bean about why he was studying different subjects than he was taking. Bean plays it safe and gives him enough
information to lead his attention somewhere else, so his studies stay safe. In this process, Bean explains to Dimak all the
problems that the IF has with their system. Later, Dimak told everyone to change the password on their desks because there
was someone signing on as someone else. Nikolai comes over and talks to Bean about it, so Bean explains everything he found
out to him.

Chapter 9
GARDEN OF SOPHIA
Commanders are fearing that Bean will plan a revolution on Battle School. They
contemplate icing him, but they don't.
-- -- -- --
Sister Carlotta has met with an old Russian
Scientist named Anton. Anton learned too much about something that he shouldn’t know, so authorities placed a device
in his head that restricted him telling other people about the things he discovered. However, when he and Sister Carlotta
talk, they use references to code their talk so the implant wouldn’t give him a panic attack and end their conversation.
Unfortunately, the guards eventually figured their code out and gave Anton a panic attack. Sister Carlotta did learn that
Bean was genetically altered to be super smart. The downside to this, though, was that he would have a short life and die
in his twenties.
