Fifty Pages IV

I don't think that I am supposed to post as long of summaries as I have been, so I will try to make it a bit shorter. So as I left off, the leaders were just beginning to realize how outrageously smart Bean is. They wonder why he doesn't play that fantasy game. He doesn't want to be analyzed. They ask what he is doing when he is "reading," and he tells them that he is analyzing the things that he reads. He also told Dimak that by reading the books, he figured out that it doesn't make any sense to fight defensively, and if the humans were smart they would have made some strong troops and left immediately after our victory, so that the buggers wouldn't have time to prepare for another battle, because they would have only received the news a little bit before they were attacked again.

Back on Earth, Sister Carlotta dug deeper into what Bean's origins might have been, and she discovered that he probably was an experiment, in which a gene had simply been turned on, but he probably wouldn't live very long. Bean crept into the vents one night and went to the teachers quarters, to find what he could. He got some one's password, and overheard Dimak and the other boss talking about someone that might be an alien or other species of primate, living on the station.

He hacked into their computers and made an account for himself. They figured it out, but thought that it would be better if they let him think that he wasn't caught. They could then maybe learn more about him through his actions with his account. He then learned that if he wanted to ever be very important that he would have to act and form social networks like Ender Wiggin. He started to look at every kids actions and descriptions on the computer. He then talked to some of Ender's friends to learn more about him, so that he could have a place. He couldn't fathom why lots of kids valued Ender so much that they would die for him. Sorry again, because I rambled too much this time as well, but this time I at least tried harder to be brief.
