50 page update: Number Three (pgs. 101-150)

Bean asked if the heart monitor was in their clothing, but didn't get a sufficient answer. He figured out how hard he must work to get his heart rate up, then they had supper. He couldn't finish it all, so he tried to throw it away, but the dietitionist caught him and told him that he better eat it all the next meal they had. Then since he had some extra time he thought that he would explore. He went up several levels, and then got to some of the older kids dorms. Petra took him back down to his area, but then he ran away and went to the game room. He saw an airvent and tried to fit inside, and he learned that he could even though it was only 15 centimeters in depth.

He then went back to his room, and the teachers figured out that he had left. They didn't tell him, because they wanted to figure his personality and reasons out on their own. Then after their nap, the leader gave them a tour, but Bean already had seen almost all of it on his own, so it didn't interest him. When ever the bigger kids saw him they said that he reminded them of Ender Wiggin, so he wanted to find out who Ender was. In the game room, he found Bonzo Madrid, a kid that hated Ender, and asked him about him. He purposely doesn't play "The Game" on the desk, because he knows if he does they will find out something about him. He had a dream about some ants, that got squished, but when the foot came off, it was actually Achilles and his whole gang.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Sister Carlotta, the person that took him in in Rotterdam, was trying to figure out how he was so smart, and where he came from. The clean room that he talked about was actually an organ farm for babies, and the person that took him in at first was the janitor for the farm. Then she asked the IF, Interstellar Fleet, leader if they had done any human genome modification projects recently, but she didn't get a good answer.

Bean gets the highest grades of anyone on all of his tests. Then the IF leaders are concerned about what Bean is studying, so they look into it. Bean, hacks into their computer system, by using other kids passwords, so he won't get caught. He uses their accounts to get a better map of the Space Station. There are levels that everyone else doesn't know about, that he wants to explore. Then Dimak, his adult leader, suddenly tells everyone to change their passwords and to let no one see what their new ones are. Then he talks to Bean about how his life is going here, and that he should make a social network if he ever wants to become an officer.
