The opening shows the still-horrified faces of Team RWBY upon seeing their guide for the week.
Weiss: Professor Oobleck?
Oobleck: (Talking fast, per the norm, as he paces in front of the students.) Yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, girls, seeing as you've opted to shadow a Huntsman on what is now essentially a reconnaissance mission. I can assure you, we will not be establishing a single base of operations; rather, we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland and making camp in any defendable locations we may stumble upon. I packed all of our essentials myself, plotted our air course, and readied the airship. And... (Zooms up right to Weiss' face.) It's Doctor Oobleck. I didn't earn the PhD for fun, thank you very much! (Quickly backs away.)
Donald: ("He REALLY needs to cut back on the caffeine.")
Weiss looks over at Blake Belladonna, who is equally disturbed.
Weiss: Uh...
Oobleck: Come now, children; according to my schedule, we are already three minutes behind! (Then, as an afterthought to clarify:) ...schedule! (He zips off to the airship docked farther ahead in a second.)
Ruby: (Positive and upbeat before suddenly becoming as depressed as her team halfway through.) Well, alright, then! Looks like we're going to save the world with Doctor Oooobleck- okay yeah when you say it out loud it sounds worse.
Rody: It doesn't matter how you say it, it's worse either way.
Nora: (off-screen) Save the world?
Ruby's team turns around to see Nora and Team JNPR approaching.
Nora: (being dramatic) You're going on world-saving missions without us? I'm hurt... sad! (Stomach rumbles) Maybe a little hungry? That last one's not your fault, though, Ren...
Lie Ren, for his part, simply crosses his arms and turns away.
Jaune: Sounds exciting. Where ya going?
Ruby: Oh, just outside the kingdom...
Nora: Hey! So are we!
Pyrrha: Ren and Nora wanted to shadow the sheriff of a nearby village.
Ren: We set out tomorrow.
Neptune: (off-screen) Then you can party with us tonight! (Neptune Vasilias and Sun Wukong approach the two groups.) We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. We get junior badges.
Jaune is awestruck.
Sun: We normally go to the city with you guys, which means stuff's always exploding and junk, so we thought this might be a better way to check out the kingdom when it's, you know... normal.
Ruby: Well-
Oobleck appears from the airship to call to Team RWBY and RD, who are embarrassed:
Oobleck: Four minutes, everyone! (Goes back inside as their friends smile awkwardly at their friends.)
Ruby: Well, uh... (Throws a thumbs-up.) Wish us luck! (With that, the friends disband, either back to Beacon Academy or towards their mission.)
The Skies Above Vale
Cut to the airship flying over buildings and streets amid deafening turbines.
Yang: (To Oobleck) I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter.
Oobleck: I admit I fancy myself more of an intellectual, but I can assure you, as a Huntsman, I've had my fair share of tussles.
Ruby: (Tilting her head in confusion) Like the mushroom?
