Chapter 19
REBEL
Two commanders are discussing Colonel Graff's actions with giving Achilles to Beans Army. One says that Graff was playing
Russian Roulette with on empty chanmer, and then says that the other would be playing Russian Roulette as well, he just doesn't
know how many chambers are loaded.
-- -- -- --
As Bean's first act as commander, he made a speech in the commanders mess. He said that the scoreboard they kept in there
only turned themselves against each other, so he proposed to cover it and not pay any attention to it. The entire mess agreed.
When he arrived back at the barracks, he made another speech and met a new person into Battle School. Achilles. Bean laid
down the ground rules, made sure the Achilles knew he was boss, and treated him as any other launchy.

Chapter 20
TRIAL AND ERROR
Sister Carlotta called Colonel Graff and started yelling at him for brining Achilles up to Battle School. He said there
was nothing he could do, because he was sacked. But he didn't care anyways.
-- -- -- --
Bean called Achilles to his quarters, where they both crawled into the air vent to 'listen in on other commanders' plans',
While they were crawling, Achilles was thinking of way he could kill Bean, becuase being alone with him was what he wanted.
Bean told him to put on the deadline so Bean wouldn't be 'stuck' in the air vent. When Achilles put it on, though, he was
hoisted high into the air, where Bean and a few others from his army give him the option to confess all the murders he had
committed, or hang there until the air vent dehydrated him and he died. He chose to confess, and confess he did. He confessed all
the murders he committed, and when they were done Bean and the other children left him haging there.

Chapter 21
GUESSWORK
A commander is explaining to another that Bean had 'passed' Colonel Graff's test. Achilles had killed seven people, and
Bean would have been number eight. But he outsmarted Achilles, and turned him in to the authorities. They are also sending
Bean and nine other people to Command School.
-- -- -- --
Bean got his orders for leaving Battle School, so he told his army. Even though they lost all five games, they did what
he had wanted them to do. As Bean was leaving, he met the new commander of Rabbit Army. Nikolai. They had a brief conversation
before Bean boarded the ship that would take him away. On the ship, the nine other children had already formed their little
groups. instead of trying to join them, Bean spent his time reading up on how the world is today. Once he arrived at tactical
school, he sent a message to Demosthenes, who then wrote a letter having Battle School obsolved and all children sent home.
