Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning
After the gym and his morning swim, Ender decided to have his breakfast in the common room this morning. He was at least mildly curious as to the news of the day, and sometimes TV was just more simple than going through all of his newsfeeds.
So with a bowl of cereal in hand he sat down to catch the morning news. Jane had been snarking at him about recent developments back home - so the news from the 2170s, he was more than up to date on - which had put him into a certain historical frame of mind. Some of the riots going on in the Middle East bore a dangerously close resemblance to what was going on in Alai's neck of the woods, and...
...he would have continued to pontificate on that if the first thing that had turned up when he put on BBC News hadn't been a story about a cat.
A very important cat, apparently.
Ten minutes later, they were still talking about the cat, and Ender was starting wonder if the entire universe would turn into one giant cat macro one day.
