Back in his room, Gideon stood for a long time, gazing out the window, pondering the recent events. A representative of the class... What does this really mean, and how will his fate unfold now? Was he now to be some kind of assistant to Lorance, obligated to track down his classmates and report on everything that comes to their minds, distract them from their activities, enforce discipline, and drive them to their studies? Some gloomy errand, why would he need it... Under other circumstances, he wouldn't even think about it. After all, he barely knows his classmates; why should he worry about them, they'll probably sort everything out themselves. Varya, a gangly girl whose character strangely contrasted with her imposing appearance, Leila, the serious and disciplined daughter of a military man, Vailis, who can talk anyone's ear off, Futaba, as if not of this world, but seemingly calm, Nirianna, quite friendly and cheerful - could any of them really cause trouble? And what about himself? What if he himself wants to relax and take a break from his worries, or, for example... conduct a field experiment?

That's right, he also has his own research, which he intended to delve into, if not completely, then at least with attention and seriousness. Where should he start... Perhaps he should start in order. He hung the breech-loading rifle on the wall for now and picked up the book he had brought with him. "Technologies of the Future." Trillium A. Seiso. The name was well known to him; he had encountered it many times - the number of references to him in the works of various scientists was simply overwhelming. Truly a great figure who changed the world with his discoveries.

Leaning back on the bed, Gideon settled in comfortably and opened the book.
