The view is of a shot of Beacon Academy the next day following the Beacon Dance, then cuts to inside Ozpin's office, with General James Ironwood and Glynda Goodwitch keeping the headmaster company.

Ironwood angrily growls at Ozpin.

"They were here…"

As he loses his temper, he raises his voice.

"Ozpin, they were here!"

Ironwood angrily slams his fist against Ozpin's desk.

Glynda rolls her eyes, annoyed with the angry tin man.

"We're very much aware of that! Thank you, James."

Ironwood replies snappily.

"Fantastic! You're aware! Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and continue to ignore what's right in front of us?!"

An alert sound plays, signifying that someone has arrived on the elevator.

Ozpin calmly calls to the elevator.

"Come in."

Ruby Rose steps out and into the room.

Ruby rocks back and forth on her heels, looking at the floor.

"Sorry it took so long. Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here."

Pausing before quickly explaining herself.

"It wasn't me."

Ozpin says calmly.

"Thank you for coming, Ruby. How are you feeling?"

Ruby answers awkwardly.

"Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't O-for-three."

Everyone stares silently.

Ruby looks at the floor again.

"Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it."

Ironwood address the nervous Ruby.

"Ruby, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you did last night is exactly what being a Huntress is all about. You recognized a threat. You took action. And you did the very best you could."

Ruby looks up at him.

"Thank you, sir."

Ozpin continues the conversation.

"Now, the general here has already informed us of the events that... transpired last night, but now that you've rested, we were wondering if you had anything to add."

Glynda asks a couple questions.

"Was anyone else with her? Did she look familiar to you at all?"

Ruby thinks for a second.

"I... I don't know. She was wearing a mask, and she never said anything to me. But I know she fought with glass. I don't think that was her Semblance, though. Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked."

Glynda thinks before replying. 

"Save for the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought the night we met Ruby."

Ironwood comments, very annoyed.

"Embedding Dust into clothing is an age-old technique. It could have been anyone."

Ruby sees a chance and takes it.

"Wait. You think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?"
