Washington: "The facility is clear."

Carolina: "Find anything?"

Washington: "Nothing we didn't already know."

Carolina: "Figured as much. This place was a dead end."

"Didn't they stop here because the reds wanted to take a break?" Nora frowned.

Jaune shrugged, "I think so, but they stayed to investigate."

"It feels like they're grasping at any lead they can find." Weiss commented.

"The Director hid himself well." Blake added.

Washington: "Sorry, boss."

Carolina: "The structure we're going to next, you're positive our target was there?"

Washington: "I know what I saw, that's why it's on our list."

Carolina: "But I know what I saw, and it doesn't make any sense."

Washington: "All the more reason to investigate."

Carolina: "Alright then. Let's go. Let's go find C.T."

"C.T." Nora gasped. "They're gonna find me!"

"Or the insurrectionist leader." Jaune countered. "The C.T. from season seven was either him or Connie with a voice changer."

"It's him, he stole her armor." Blake stated, completely sure of herself. "He could have killed her too."

"They really seemed to love each other." Ruby pouted. "I don't think he'd kill her."

"How did he get her armor?" Blake asked. "Either way, something happened. And from what we saw in season seven, he's not the best."

"Yeah he's not, but still." Ruby frowned. "C.T. is a mystery, first it's just some guy trying to get an artifact. We still don't know why he wanted it. Then C.T. turns out to be a girl! And she's in love with the guy who who sounds like the original C.T."

"They're the same person!" Nora waved her hands in a flourish.

"We've seen them both in the same room at the same time." Jaune pointed out.

"Oh yeah, and that's the rule." Nora relented, "They're not the same person."

Camera pans towards the sky before fading into a new location

" LONGSHORE SHIPYARDS (FOB), MANY YEARS AGO..." appeared on the screen.

The camera follows a seagull as it lands on a submerged Wyoming.

"Is that a body?" Pyrrha gasped.

"I think they're alive, if they were dead they wouldn't be standing." Ruby pointed out.

The seagull is sniped.

Ruby flinched, "birdie no!"

"That was needlessly graphic." Weiss grinaced with Ruby

Malcolm Hargrove: "(voice over) To the Director of Project Freelancer, Dr. Leonard Church."

"Oh hey it's the chairman." Jaune noted.

Weiss chuckled, "I liked him in season six, he was just as frustrated as I was with the Director's responses."

"Yeah he sounded like he cared about his job." Ruby nodded. "But he did kind of free the Meta and Wash to send after the Epsilon unit."
