Author's note:
For most of this chapter I had to write my own transcript because the wiki page left the transcript unfinished.

S14E12- Fight the Good Fight!
"Interesting episode." Jaune commented as he hit play.
Open to starry space.
"Another anthology episode?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.
Jaune nodded, "Yeah... what happened at the end of the last season ten episode?"
"Tucker and Church were going to spy on Carolina and Wash." Ruby explained.
Jaune nodded, "Oh right, thanks. I don't want to forget."
Vic: "Ya'know, Project de los Freelancer really nailed it when it came to building two armies worth of idiots. Some people say it's 'cause we had such convincing propaganda. BUT I'm pretty sure there's just that many stupid people in the universe."
"I thought they just took them and assigned them to an army." Jaune commented.
"Yeah, the ones with low test scores." Ruby added.
"They must have had to recruit from the pools of soldiers with low test scores." Weiss commented. "Conscription could be illegal."
"When has the law stopped the director?" Blake asked.
"I doubt he could hide forcing soldiers to join an army, but if they willingly volunteer..." Weiss trailed off meaningfully.
" Fight the Good Fight!" appeared on the screen.
"Hm. Reminds me of old Mantle propaganda." Weiss commented.
"Ugh Oobleck made me write an essay on one of those propaganda posters from the war." Jaune groaned. "Why do I always get the worst assignments?"
"Maybe because professor Oobleck believes you can handle it?" Pyrrha suggested.
"I think I'm just unlucky." Jaune shrugged. "He always notices if I start to fall asleep."
"I do not envy you." Ruby snorted. "Doctor Oobleck's class is second only to Professor Port's."
Cut to black. A film reel begins. A Project Freelancer operation document is shown: "INTERNAL MEMO

"They didn't do a good job with that black ink." Blake commented.
"It's like it was meant for blue team but now it's for red team." Ruby added.
"And look at the mission orders." Pyrrha grimaced.
