Cordovin: "Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending..."

She pauses with distain on her face and in her tone.

Cordovin: "Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart."

Weiss walks with the walking talking Napoleon complex on the Atlas military base. Along with Saphron carrying Adrian following shortly behind.

Weiss: (pretending) "It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots."

Cordovin: "Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps."

Her facade almost falls as she tries her best to keep up the act.

Weiss: "Absolutely..."

Cordovin: "I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part."

She winks and walks away.

Nubuck Guard 1: "Allow me to assist you with your bag."

He hups over to pick up Weiss' luggage only to struggle slightly.

Nubuck Guard 1: "My, what a heavy bag!"

Weiss pulls back trying to keep her grip on her luggage

Weiss: "That's alright!"

Nubuck Guard 1: "Nonsense!"

Nubuck Guard 2: "Allow me to assist as well!"

Weiss: "I can take care of it by myself!"

As Cordovin walks away, she overhears Weiss and the Nubuck Guards conversation. She stops in her tracks and gains a suspicious look on her face. Saphron notices this.

Saphron: (whispering to Adrian) "Just like we practiced."

Adrian nods to his mother and suddenly bursts out into loud cries and wails. He thrashes about exaggeratedly and rolls around in his mother's arms for added effect.

Saphron: (pretending) "Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!"

Nubuck Guard 1: "A crying child?"

Nubuck Guard 2: "We must console it!"

The two guards hup over to Adrian as they perform weird poses to amuse him. Cordovin continues walking with an unamused look on her face. While they are distracted, Weiss quickly gets onto the airship with the luggage behind her.

Weiss: "That was close."

Ruby: (over earpiece) "Is everything okay?"

Maria: (from inside Weiss' luggage) "Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!"

Weiss: "We're on board."

Meanwhile Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Oscar, (Y/n), and Qrow wait along the cliffside at the edge of the woods overlooking the Ocean.

Ruby: "Alright, we'll all watch our scrolls. The second Weiss is out of range of the comm tower, that'll mean she's out of range of the radar too."

Yang: (over radio) "And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off."

In another area, Yang is driving Bumblebee with Blake sitting behind her. Blake has her Scroll out receiving instructions from Terra.

Terra: "Okay, remember: one, the radar box is seperate from the rest of the communications equipment. So if you disconnect it properly, it won't take out comms for the rest of the city. Two, this conversation never happened."
