This was liable to be interesting-- or not, as Ender recognised their new professor's poise fairly easily for what it was. Still, this was something he knew how to deal with. He sat there, quietly.
On the one hand, this class was filled with friends. That was nice. On the other, Karla had no idea why she was in this course or what good it would ever do her.

"My name is Arnold J. Rimmer, acting Captain of the Jupiter Mining Corporation vessel Red Dwarf, and I have extensive experience not only surviving deep space, but doing so in the presence of the three most worthless, spineless, evil-minded goits ever assembled in this or any known universe."
He pointed to the first student he saw.
"You. Name, rank, and experience in deep space. Go."

He knew Rimmer's like. This might have explained why he sounded so agreeable.

She wasn't fidgety, just quiet and watching Rimmer warily.

"Very good, Wiggin. Are you considering deep space travel in the future?"
