"Isn't the Guardian Games podium lovely?" Eva asks. "Many people in the Tower came together to create it. That is where we will track the progress of your class across the event. The class banners will rise and fall depending on your place in the competition."

She smiles. "Even the Drifter took part. He was kind enough to donate his deposit technology. It only took a little convincing." She hands you a medal. "Bring this to him, and he will register your new class item. Then you can deposit this medal and begin the Games."
