Some people come to Academy because they need to, some come because they are needed. How far a person will go for a second chance can be as revealing as a light in the darkness. A candle ground underfoot along the way tells a darker, but no less important, tale. Which will you choose to remember when your own book is signed and closed?
"I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
I've been hanging onto nothing
When nothing could be worse than hanging on"
— Ruth Moody, "Heaven When We're Home"

Part 1: New to the neighborhood

Benjamin needs a new coat, a roommate, a clue or two, and maybe someone should inventory the rocks in his head. It's all good for something at Whateley Academy.
A/N: Thanks go out to Wasamon, Domoviye, and Amethyst for help with the Student Orientation.
"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed."

Shadowing an office-bound employee should be child's play for an AI capable of tapping any electronic device the employee touches. Colombine has two weeks to learn the high-stakes game said employee is playing. How Benjamin plans to cash in his chips and who's looking over his shoulder remain a mystery.

Just before midnight, January 6, 2017,
Elmendorf Air Force Base
"We are on standby for take-off. The seatbelt light is on. Passengers, please return to your seats if you haven't already."
Benjamin was still dead to the world, and if it weren't for his seatbelt, he would have slid out of his seat by now. Colombine amused herself by sabotaging Kota Kobayakawa's attempts to call out on his phone despite security restrictions. The various numbers he'd tried to reach could be extended into a useful exercise in social network analysis. Once they were clear of the air base and Anchorage, she let him try his luck with the extensive cell coverage in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

So Not A Date
(A Parents Day Incident)
by
null0trooper
Parents Day! A Whateley tradition devised to show families how their little monsters are settling in amidst the many challenges of an enriching academic environment. In some cases, the message is "See? Our buildings are still standing. Do you think you could do as well with that kid of yours for what you're paying?"
Benjamin Keeling's only visiting on a job. It's only a coincidence that he's visiting today, and it's not like he's checking up on anyone. Nope!
