+Chapter II -- The New Cyber Kids
+
+'So, I'm standing there like an utter idiot, and all of a sudden the
+syringe flies across the room and into my shoulder!' Adir was telling
+several of his new coursemates, all huddled excitedly.
+
+'Into your *shoulder?*' Karin asked with silent awe. She always spoke
+silently.
+
+'Still have a nasty mark,' he answered, 'Look'. He lowered the thick
+green uniform to reveal a blackened old bruise. 'This is where it went
+in', he gestured just below the neck.
+
+'And I though I had it bad', said Dennis. 'I still think I had it bad.
+Bastards wouldn't let me out for a smoke. We sat there for hours'.
+
+'Well, you got in front of me in line. You have the bigger Personal
+Number.'
+
+'That's Time Length!' Sharon excitedly pitched in. 'Nothing's more
+important!'
+
+Adir found the whole concept of 'Time Length' *incredibly* stupid.
+
+'Alright, line up', Shani said from the now open classroom door, just
+enough for them to hear. Adir has yet to decide his stance on the whole
+constant shouting business, now that's it's over with.
+
+They lined up in front of the classroom, all fourty two of them.
+
+'One minute to attention', Shani said coldly. 'Look nice for the Course
+Commander'.
+
+'ONE MINUTE TO ATTENTION!' bellowed Roi. Well, maybe not entirely over
+with.
+
+After much more than a minute, the CC showed up.
+
+'Alright, alright', he chuckled. 'Come on, get inside'.
+
+It was 11AM and Adir was fiercly struggling to stay awake. The CC was
+vigoursly instructing them on Operating System Internals, and Adir
+realised that for the first time in all these months he is in real
+jepoardy of dozing off. He stood up -- joining most of his coursemates
+at this point.
+
+Much to his surprise, Re'em nudged his shoulder. He had fallen asleep.
+
+Adir suddenly felt a wave of despair. What else is he supposed to do?
+
+'Could I go?' he suddenly blurted out to the CC.
+
+The CC stopped mid-sentence, and everyone turned their fragile attention
+to him. The officer was so surprised he did not even seem about to scold
+him.
+
+'Go?' he asked, frowning with puzzlement.
+
+'Yea'.
+
+Silence fell, and eventually Adir realised the CC was expecting him to
+say something else.
+
+'Pee, I mean'.
+
+Yotam did not expect this from Adir, who had never piped up before.
+
+'Be a bit more professional next time, please', he said, and gestured at
+the door. Adir fuddled out with elation.
+
+'The key,' Yotam added.
+
+'Here man', mumbled Bar and tossed the keys at him. They hit his face
+and fell to his hands.
+
+The heavy metal door closed behind him. He stood at the small, empty
+space outside, overlooking the muddy nothing with the few benches in
+between. Everyone was still studying.
+
+He took a deep, exhausted breath. He felt the warm sun on his uniform.
+He stretched lazily, feeling some strength returning.
+
+Adir rounded the small classroom towards the restrooms, very slowly,
+humming to himself.
+
+He inserted the key in the door -- to his surprise, it was unlocked.
+
+A tall, red headed coursee opened the door. Behind him was another
+squat, dark haired soldier.
+
+'What?' he demanded.
+
+Adir saw his stripithings. Black and white. These must be the new Cyber
+coursees.
+
+Asocial as he was, even Adir picked up on the long lasting rivalry
+between the Computer Systems Infastructure Managers and the Cyber
+Security Defense Specialists. He could not understand why -- they do
+pretty much the same thing -- but this was a fact of this place,
+inherited one course cycle at a time. He did not buy into it, though. He
+would treat this person with utmost respect.
+
+'Pee', he answered diplomatically.
+
+The Cyberer sighed.
+
+'Don't make a mess', he reprimanded. 'We clean this up later'.
+
+'Everyone cleans this up later', he said. The Cyberer looked at him as
+one might a deranged, fuming chimpanzee.
+
+He 'ugh'd and left.
+
+By the time he got back around the classroom, everyone was outside. How
+long has it been?
+
+Naturally, he went to his desk for his three minutes of intense sleep.
+
+When he sat down in front of the computer, however, he did something
+else -- and was not quite sure why.
+
+'I don't understand why you would act like this', Commander Dan told
+him. 'You've been a good soldier so far. Where is this coming from?'
+
+Adir was vaguely aware of the situation. They were sitting around one of
+the tables outside, after Dan pulled him out from class. He suddenly
+felt cold.
+
+Adir did not answer, because he genuinly did not know what this is
+about. Why can't he hold on to thoughts lately?
+
+Dan did that thing where he sits and stares until Adir blurts something
+out to break the silence. Every single soldier ever trained for command
+used this tactic liberally, certain all the enlisted would break under
+their steely gaze.
+
+It never worked on Adir, and he quite liked seeing confusion creeping up
+their faces.
+
+Dan was a bit proud for that, though. 'You skipped out on the CC's
+lesson,' he continued, 'And now you write this nonsense on the course
+forum. You're one of the better soldiers here. Why?'
+
+Adir's poem burst out from the nothing, and he was supremely proud of
+it. It read thus:
+
+The New Cyberers / Pooshellu
+
+The Man Bar hands me the key,
+
+Methinks to meself, make water I shall
+
+And just when the hand reaches out for the trousers
+
+Into the room enter the new Cyberees.
+
+The first's eyes fall to my stripthings
+
+Purple is great, yet he did not see it thus
+
+His nose rising just shy of his brows
+
+'What, do you have a bathroom key too?' he asks
+
+The restrooms are for all coursees, says I
+
+Yet Cybereeno remains unimpressed
+
+*Do me a favor, he begs with a look of plea*
+
+Don't thrash the bathroom
+
+Wer'e cleaning them later.
+
+'I thought it was funny', he stated.
+
+'And you came here to laugh?', Dan inquired.
+
+He stared Adir down again. Adir mulled the question over.
+
+'I know things are difficult', Dan finally gave out, 'But get a grip.
+You've been given a great privelege. Act like it'. He left.
+
+The others were just pouring out, and as soon as Dan was out of sight
+many they flocked to Adir.
