The first time we played the sleeping game, we were at our house. The four of us were in our sleeping bags in the living room and Kyle started to tell a really terrifying story about a skinny alien that comes through the window and cuts you up in your bed.

Chapter 14 The opening conversation is almost a battle of words between and, the head of Command School. They discuss what Ender still needs to be told. Ender hates Eros from the moment they land. Everything feels odd, and he is surrounded by strangers. He is isolated as he gets individual tutoring from teachers. Because of this isolation, Ender throws himself into his studies, learning quickly and well. His favorite activity is to play on the simulator, essentially 'the most perfect videogame he had ever played.'

Ender starts in control of just one fighter ship, but he is soon allowed to 'command' a four-fighter squadron. The computer starts giving him specific objectives.

Ender notices that after he uses a tactic against it, the computer uses it back against him in a matter of minutes, learning like an enemy would. Ender learns to spread his focus over the entire group of ships, as a real commander would.

Finally, after a year of Command School, Ender seems to have exhausted the simulator's abilities. Also, he wants something like toon leaders who can think for themselves. After making this request, the next day there is an old man sitting cross-legged on his floor. Ender waits for him to speak, but he does not speak even when addressed. His door is locked, so he does his morning exercises. One time the man grabs him but then retreats, so Ender ignores him. When Ender's guard is down, the old man grabs him violently and tells him that he should never turn his back on the enemy.

This man will be his teacher and his enemy, because 'there is no teacher but the enemy.' As the man lets him go, Ender kicks him, and they fight. They hurt each other, and when Ender finally asks the old man his name, his new teacher says: '.' Mazer is now too old to command (he was kept alive via a relativity maneuver, aging eight years while the Earth passed fifty years), but he can teach. They watch videos from the First and Second Invasions and discuss them. Mazer points out tactics and strategies that Ender never noticed before, and 'for the first time, Ender had found a living mind he could admire.'

Ender is curious about how Mazer won against the buggers by targeting just one ship. Mazer is not sure, but he thinks that the buggers' instantaneous mind-speak is not really a conversation at all. It seems that one bugger, the Queen, controls all of the others. When Mazer destroyed the Queen ship, all of the other buggers were destroyed along with her. 'Every ship acts like part of a single organism.'

Mazer also guesses that the First Invasion was exploratory, but the Second was a colonizing trip, and this is why they brought a queen. They closely examine the video, and Ender eventually can discern which ship is the Queen's.

They are the only two people who ever could. Mazer also notes that since Eros was originally a bugger colony, which is why Ender feels so uncomfortable in his surroundings there. Much of the technology that the Fleet uses now comes from things that they found on Eros, such as gravity manipulation and the use of stellar energy to black out planets. Mazer also guesses that the buggers killed the first humans they saw without realizing that they were killing intelligent life, thinking that the outlying humans were worthless because none was a 'queen.'

In this respect, human ships have an advantage in that each one is commanded by intelligent life. Moreover, the humans' weapons have an enormous range, except for old versions of their newest weapon, called Little Doctor (or Dr. Device, which came about because of its scientific name, 'Molecular Detachment Device,' or M.D.

The Little Doctor splits apart molecules and causes a chain reaction in a spherical area, though it gets weaker as the radius increases and picks up strength when it hits new molecules. Device can penetrate the buggers' shields. In the simulator room, Ender starts training as a commander of squadron leaders, much like with his old toon leaders. He puts on the headphones and hears 'Salaam,' indicating 's presence., Petra, Dink,,, Hot Soup,,, and 'all the best students that Ender had fought with or fought against, everyone that Ender had trusted in Battle School' are all there to work with him. They practiced together for three weeks before the 'battles' began, and Ender grew to know and understand them, their strengths and weaknesses, perfectly. They learned to trust each other completely.

They had the almost instantaneous reactions of a bugger fleet, but they also clearly had the advantage because his subordinates could still make their own decisions. Mazer says that from now on, he will be controlling the simulation of the enemy ships--he warns Ender that he will grind him down to the breaking point to make sure that Ender will not fail later. In the first battle, the enemy outnumbers Ender's group two to one, but they are grouped together tightly, so the Dr. Device easily wins. The enemy quickly learns not to group the ships together again, while Ender learns from his own mistakes. Over several more battles, the squadron leaders' trust in Ender as their commander grows, though their friendship with him gradually disappears, and they grow closer to each other while growing apart from him. 'Ender was their teacher and commander, as distant from them as Mazer was from him, and as demanding.'
