Earth Skills

In the two weeks before the delinquents were sent to ground. Pike was tasked by the Council to prepare them with an Earth Skills crash-course. After realizing that the delinquents are unknowingly being sent to the ground, seeing their lack of interest in learning, and failing to persuade Chancellor Jaha to let him go with them, Pike takes graver measures. He hits Murphy, forcing the class to stand up for him. The key to survival on Earth, he says, is to never stop fighting, this is life or death, no one is coming to help any of you.
