Update # 7 (301-350)

The teachers couldn't interpret their only shot at bean with the mind game, but it looked as if he was very scared or had some other relation to Achilles. Bean tried to recruit Nikolai, his best friend to be on the special team, but he refused, someone else from toon C would have to take his place.

Graff, Dimak, and Dap had made a meeting room in the entrance to one of the battle rooms. Bean went to find them, and because they were arguing when they heard his quiet knock, they thought he might have been listening for a long time. Bean wanted to have access to their supply areas. They first told him no, but he argued with them and was very close to being iced when they finally gave in. His reasoning was that since the other teams didn't have to follow any rules, that they shouldn't have to either, so they should be able to make something unique to fight with. He chose some dead line that was used for holding janitors working on the outside of the ship from falling away.

Graff was also being irresponsible, because he wouldn't protect Bean and Ender from the physical danger that they were in because of Bonzo. Bean noticed when several members of the Salamander Army were coming closer to Ender on their way back from practice. He had all of the toon leaders and seconds come stand around Ender to protect him. Then when they passed Rabbit Army's barracks, he knocked on the door and yelled, "Salamander's making a move against Ender." They rushed to help, and the Salamanders gave up for now. Bean had someone stay with Ender at all times, to make sure that he didn't leave without someone knowing. Then the next day at lunch, Ender said he didn't feel hungry, so he would stay.

At lunch Bean made this big speech about how you are to blame if you follow your commander's orders to do something illegal, but the commanders ate in a different room, so it was no help. By the time Bean made it to the bathroom after lunch, Ender had already killed Bonzo. The teachers didn't want anyone to know, so they didn't let anyone in there, but Bean made his way in pretending to not have seen what actually happened. Then after Ender made it to his room, he had the orders that they had a battle against two armies at once. This is when he used Bean's troop. First Bean used the rope to make it look as though he was flying around the star. Then they made a screen thing with their own frozen soldiers and maneuvered their way around to the other teams gate, and won the game. Ender was so depressed and tired that he didn't want to do anything, and wasn't even happy that they won. Then after the army returned to their barracks, all of the toon leaders and seconds had notes that they were transferred to be the commanders of other armies. After they made Ender go through killing someone and facing an impossible scenario of battle, they took away all of his leaders. Bean was assigned to command Rabbit Army. That is as far as I have got.
