One More Update to Go (351-400)

Bean went to talk to Ender, and tried to sympathize with him. Bean learns that Ender is going to Command School, and skipping Tactical and Pre-Command. Bean made a speech at his first meal at the Commander's mess hall. He said that they should have the teachers disconnect the score boards, because that just turned the kids against themselves, when the only thing that they would really have to fight were the Formics, or Buggers. They finally agreed and the score boards were taken down. Then Bean returned to the barracks of his newly acquired army and tried to relate to them a little.

Then a member of his army showed him the other new person that they had gotten. It was Achilles. Bean was very scared, but had a plan that would hopefully work. He talked to him like he didn't know that Achilles had killed Poke, so he hoped that Achilles wouldn't kill him too quickly. Sister Carlotta was very mad and scared that Graff had allowed Achilles to go to Battle School. When talking to Sister Carlotta, Graff finds out that Achilles is a serial killer and has killed at least 4 people. Bean called Achilles into his quarters, and showed him what he and Ender had supposedly done. He took him into the air vents and lead him too a small unlit room where he told him to put the dead line around him. He did and then Bean gave his gang the word and they pulled the cord lifting him off the ground. They gave Achilles the choice to either die of dehydration, or confess to killing everyone that he had killed. He chose the latter, and they recorded it and gave it to the teachers. He had actually killed 7 people in his life, and would now get Bean whenever they met again. Bean got transferred to Tactical School, and said good bye to his army that he had for only 8 days. They hadn't won any of their five games, but he learned what he needed to and then he left into space.
