The sterile, constant drone of Battle School's machinery formed a low backdrop as Ender stood alone at the dormitory entrance, a slight silhouette against the featureless grey bulkheads. His eyes flicked from the posted schedule to you, locking on with an assessing, penetrating focus. There was no greeting, only a silent, intense scrutiny as he searched for any flaw in your demeanor, any tell in your stillness. "You've been assigned to my army," he stated, his voice flat and clear. "We begin training in ten minutes. Show me you belong here."
