Chapter 39:
In the daytime in Argus. At the Atlesian Military Base, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. Weiss Schnee is seen walking with Caroline Cordovin and Saphron Cotta-Arc, who is holding her son Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.
Cordovin, very happily, “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…” with disdain, “Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart.”
Weiss, pretending: “It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots.”
Cordovin looks back, “Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps.”
Weiss, with an unenthusiastic smile: “Absolutely…”
“I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part.” Cordovin winks and walks away.
Nubuck Guard 1: “Allow me to assist you with your bag.” He hups over to pick up Weiss' luggage) “My, what a heavy bag!”
Weiss, keeping her grip on her luggage, “That's alright!”
Nubuck Guard 1: “Nonsense!”
Nubuck Guard 2: “Allow me to assist as well!”
Weiss, pulling from them, “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 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.
Saphron poorly pretends, “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 lets out a relieved breath, “That was close.”
Ruby, over earpiece, “Is everything okay?”
Maria shouts from inside Weiss' luggage, “Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!”
Weiss holds her ear, “We're on board.”

Elsewhere, Ruby Rose, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine, and Qrow Branwen wait along the cliffside between the forest and the ocean.
Ruby holds her right ear, “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 speaks over radio, “And that's when Blake steps in. We’re all heading up the mountain.”
Lucifer says over the coms, “We’re coming up to the fork of the road. You two remember not to make unnecessary noise until I’ve started. You’ll know when the distraction is happening.”
Yang questions the team, “Are we sure Lucifer’s the good choice for this?”
Lucifer groans, “They already know me, so best we let them know as little of us as we could. Besides, knowing Indigo, this will be an easy distraction.”
