Ender narrates about the alien Formics invading Earth 50 years earlier. Fighter planes fight alien spaceships. One plane crashes into the mothership, blowing it up. The narration continues, explaining how children were trained using video games to prevent another invasion. At school, Ender and Stilson play video games on tablets, while Graff and Gwen monitor on a video screen. Graff says Ender is "the one". Ender defeats Stilson, who angrily challenges him to a rematch. Ender turns him down. Graff and Gwen discuss Ender's strategy. Graff wants to see how Ender handles rejection, and Ender is called to the infirmary. An implant is seen on the back of Ender's neck.
ICONIC QUOTE:
"Fifty years ago an alien force known as the Formics attacked Earth. Tens of millions died. It was only through the sacrifice of our greatest commander that we avoided total annihilation. We've been preparing for them to come back ever since. The International Fleet decided that the world's smartest children are the planet's best hope. Raised on war games, their decisions are intuitive, decisive, fearless. I am one of those recruits."
(Ender Wiggins)
"I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears. I tell ya, he's the one."
(Colonel Hyrum Graff)
"He may be genius but we need someone who can be followed. A leader.
He can't win on his own."
(Major Gwen Anderson)
