Razor Squad was following the trail of the gunship Crane took to Beacon. It was currently night time, and Apollo was taking position in the forest on top of a tree. He was observing the conversation between Crane and the natives from Remnant. A voice was heard over the communications in his helmet.

Scar: "Apollo. Anything yet?"

Apollo touched a button on the right side of his helmet near where his ear would be.

Apollo: "Not yet boss."

Scar: "It should be any minute now. Keep your eyes peeled."

Apollo: "Copy."

Apollo took his finger off of the transmit button on his helmet, and continued to look at the window of Ozpin's tower. A few minutes went by before Apollo spotted Cross walking toward the window. A normal person wouldn't be able to tell, but Cross made a few gestures that gave the squad the go ahead.

Apollo: "Squad lead, we've got confirmation."

Scar: "Copy that. Razors, form up and move out!"

Apollo jumped down from the trees and came into formation with the squad. They began running toward the edge of the cliff. Once they got to the base of the cliff, they began mounting an attachment to the underside of their blasters. As Star was attaching his module, he decided to ask a question about the mission.

Star: "Um, I know we're here to find out what these natives' intentions really are. But how exactly are we going about doing that again?"

Scar: "You need to pay better attention in the briefings. One of their ships landed here after Crane dropped that old drunk off. Our plan is to infiltrate it, download whatever data we can from their computers, and get out undetected. With any luck, all of these people will be asleep or preoccupied to notice us."

Apollo added onto the conversation with another question while equipping his gear.

Apollo: "And what if they do notice us sir?"

Shark: "We ice 'em."

Scar: "Set blasters to stun only. Use high level stun. Hopefully, they won't remember what happened."

Everyone finished putting on the grappling modules that latched onto the bottom of the guns.

Scar: "Alright team, let's go over our objectives one more time. Apollo, I want you in sniper position on one of the roofs. Try the dining area. You point out any potential problems or threats."

Apollo: "Copy that."

Scar: "Shark, you're going to stun anyone that sees us. You're fast, strong, and clever. Do whatever you can to keep our mission secret."

Shark: "Got it."

Scar: "Star, you're going to help me hack into their ship. Two people can get it done faster than one. After we have the data, regroup at the drop site."

Star: "Heard you loud and clear."

Scar: "Alright, let's move out. Fire cables!"

The team fired their cables and began to ascend to the top of the cliff. Once they reached the top, Apollo was the first to get up off the ground.

Apollo: "Coast is clear boss. Getting into position."

Scar: "Just don't get spotted."

Apollo: "Yeah yeah."

Scar: "Alright. Star and Shark, let's move."

Shark: "Forming on your lead sir."

The three clones started running toward Ironwood's ship. They ran for a few minutes before Scar suddenly threw himself against a tree and began to rapidly signal for his team to take cover. They waited for a few seconds before Scar peeked his head around the tree. He pushed the transmit button on his helmet and began to contact Apollo.

Scar: "Apollo, I've got my eyes on two guards near the ship. Can you take them down?"

Apollo: "A DC-17M sniper attachment firing stun bolts from over fifty yards away? Sure, no problem."

Scar: "Just get it done."

On cue, 2 circular blue lights came down from the area Apollo was at and hit the guards. They were engulfed in a bright light before they fell to the ground unconscious from the blasts. Scar signaled Star and Shark to start moving forward again. They ran for a few seconds before finally reaching the ship. Star peeked up the ramp of the ship and looked back at Scar.

Star: "Coast is clear boss. Want me to start working on the terminal?"

Scar: "Scan for any traps first. We don't need any uninvited guests blowing this whole operation."

Star: "Got it."

Star pulled a GPS-looking device out of his belt and pushed a few buttons as the screen lit up red. A progress bar appeared on the screen, and eventually it turned green.

Star: "We're not getting caught today sir. I'll begin working on the terminal."

Scar: "Let's get going. Shark, stay out here and make sure we have a clear escape route."

Shark: "Copy."

Scar and Star entered the ship and began hacking into its database. They bypassed the rather annoying security lockouts and anti-hijacking tests. Then they had to flood the cloud security with garbage data to block up the processes. Once they were done, they accessed the local data storage mainframe and began to copy everything from the local database and whatever local data was used on the cloud servers.

Star: "Beginning the download now sir. It'll be done in less than a minute. This computer sure was easy to hack."

Scar: "Don't get cocky. We still have to wipe the computer's and cloud's memory of the external access, not to mention delete the security footage from any cameras in here."

Star: "Wiping the data wouldn't be a good idea sir. That would leave a trace of something happening during the period of the missing data. We should upload fake data to the memory core instead. Since we have their recognition codes now, the system should read the fake memory as legitimate. As for the download records, deleting those wouldn't have any lasting effects."

Scar: "Get to it then."

Apollo contacted Scar through his helmet once again.

Apollo: "Sir, we've got a problem. Everyone has just left the tower."

Scar pressed the transmit button to respond to Apollo.

Scar: "Are any of them coming this way?"

Apollo: "No sir. My guess is that the occupant is still in the tower."

Scar: "Keep your eyes peeled. Scar out."

Scar took his finger off of the transmit button and put his hand on Star's shoulder.

Scar: "Star, it's time to go. How much longer?"

Star: "Just finishing up now boss. Uploading falsified archive data, and......done!"

The duo ran out of the ship and Shark soon followed them. Scar activated his communications on his helmet and signaled for Apollo to head back to the drop point.

Scar: "Razors, double time it back to the extraction point!"
