Ender's Game Page #3

Good.

You are to work as a team.

You will all make this

bunk room your home.

You will keep your home clean!

There are separate

showers for both sexes.

If you're found in an area not

designated to your gender,

I will personally neuter you!

Am I clear?

Sir, yes, sir!

Class is in five!

Follow the yellow lights!

Yellow, like your cowardly selves!

Sir, yes, sir!

Welcome to Battle School.

A great responsibility

rests upon each of you.

When the enemy first invaded,

we were not ready.

Millions of innocent

lives were lost.

That must never be

allowed to happen again.

We threw everything we

had at the invaders.

And in the midst of

that decisive battle,

a legendary hero emerged.

Eject! Eject!

Break away now! Hammer 3!

Hammer 2, break left!

Bend at left, 7 o'clock.

Hammer 2 is hit! Hammer 2 critical!

Hammer 1 has been hit!

We will never forget

what the enemy did.

But we defeated them.

And we will do so again.

Let the courage of Mazer Rackham

be your inspiration.

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine!

Put on your Battle Room suits!

That's the padded one with

the helmet and the weapon!

Do not attempt to fire the weapon!

Holster it!

Let's move it, Launchies!

You've got 10 minutes!

At ease.

This is the Battle Room.

In here, the floor has been designed

to create an Earth-like

gravitational pull.

Step through that gate

and you're in a zero-G environment.

Wiggin.

Get up here.

What do I do now, sir?

Go on in.

All right. Now, push off.

Whoa.

Pull yourself. Whoa!

Grab my hand.

No, no! Stop! Stop!

Nicely done!

These guys are still

trying to stay up,

the way they came in.

Like you said in the shuttle,

there is no up or down in space.

But we'll need some way

to orientate in here.

Maybe the enemy's gate is "down."

I like it.

Like they're a bug to be

crushed under our feet.

Exactly.

What do you think this does?

We'll have to find out.

Whoa!

Well, that's harmless.

What do you think it does

when it hits the suit?

Good question.

Shoot me in the leg.

We shoot each other.

Same time.

You ready?

In three...

two, one...

Whoa! My leg's frozen!

Mine too!

I can't bend my knee.

Shoot me in the chest.

Come on! I'm getting away!

This is amazing!

I can't move at all now.

You're out of your mind.

That's enough.

You're flappin' around

like a bunch of drunken ducks!

If you expect to compete

with the other teams at this school,

you've got a lot to learn.

Sergeant, explain the game.

Yes, sir.

You will train to compete

as a team against other teams.

You get one point for

a hit to a limb,

six for a torso hit,

which will immobilize

you completely.

But, if either side gets one cadet

through their enemy's gate unharmed,
