Weiss P.O.V.

At the Atlesian Military Base in Argus, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. I'm walking with Cordovin and Saphron, who's holding Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck Guards. I drag a large luggage case behind me as Cordovin smiles.

"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... Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart." I decide to play along.

"It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots."

"Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps." I put on a fake enthusiastic smile.

"Absolutely..."

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

She winks and walks away as a Nubuck Guard hups over to pick up Weiss's luggage.

"Allow me to assist you with your bag. My, what a heavy bag!" I keep my grip on my luggage.

"That's alright!"

"Nonsense!"

"Allow me to assist as well!"

"I can take care of it by myself!"

As Cordovin walks away, she stops in her tracks and gains a suspicious look on her face. Saphron notices this.

Saphron whispers to Adrian, "Just like we practiced." Adrian nods at his mother. The baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian 'cries' as he fusses in his mother's arms. "Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!"

"A crying child?"

"We must console it!"

The two Nubuck 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, I quickly get onto the airship with the luggage behind me.

"That was close."

M/N speaks over the earpiece, "Is everything okay?"

Maria calls from inside Weiss' luggage.

"Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!" I nod.

"We're on board."

Third Person P.O.V.

Elsewhere, Ruby, Pyrrha, Nora, Coco, Velvet, Cinder, Emerald, M/N, Qrow, Oscar, and Neo wait along the cliffside between the forest and the ocean.

Ruby nods.

"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."

Y/N speaks over the radio, "And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off."

============================================================

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

"Okay, remember: one, the radar box is separate 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."
