Argus...

It is daytime in the city. At the Atlesian Military Base, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. Weiss Schnee is walking with Caroline Cordovin and Saphron Cotta-Arc, who is holding her son Adrian in her arms. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck Guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.
    
"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..." Cordovin said, with disdain. "Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart."

"It was..." Weiss said, pretending to leave. "...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."

"Absolutely..." Weiss said, with an unenthusiastic smile.

"I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part." Cordovin said, winking and she walks away.

"Allow me to assist you with your bag." Nubuck Guard 1 said, while he jumps over to pick up Weiss' luggage. "My, what a heavy bag!"

"That's alright!" Weiss said, keeping her grip on her luggage.

"Nonsense!"

"Allow me to assist as well!" Nubuck Guard 2 said.

"I can take care of it by myself!" Weiss said, angrily.

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.

"Just like we practiced." Saphron said, whispering to Adrian.

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!" Saphron said, pretending to be upset over her baby.

"A crying child?" Nubuck Guard 1 asked.

"We must console it!" Nubuck Guard 2 said.

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.

"That was close." Weiss said.

"Is everything okay?" Ruby asked, over the earpiece.

"Call me heavy..." Maria said, from inside Weiss' luggage. "It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!"

"We're on board." Weiss said.

Elsewhere, Ruby Rose, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine, and Qrow Branwen wait along the cliffside between the forest and the ocean.

"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." Ruby said.

"And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off." Yang said, over the radio.

In another area, Yang Xiao Long is driving Bumblebee with Blake Belladonna sitting behind her. Jared Shay is riding on his hoverboard he got from the time he hung out with Doc Brown and Marty McFly. Blake has her Scroll out receiving instructions from Terra Cotta-Arc.

"Okay, remember: one, the radar box is seperate 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." Terra said.
