Ruby  gazes out the window of the police airship as it flies over Mantle, then turns and looks at Nora chewing at the bolas restraining her wrists, while everyone else sits silently, Charlie suddenly woke up scaring everybody.

Yang: (grab his arm) Charlie, it's alright.

Charlie:(weakly) what happened?...

Qrow: we were captured.

Charlie:(weakly) I... can... get us out...(he try's to get up but falls back, yang caught him)

Yang: hey, you okay?

Charlie:(weakly) I... don't... know.. I feel... so weak... and... tired( tries to stop time) I can't even... stop time....

Yang: you should rest.

Ruby: Where do you think they're taking us?

Qrow: I'm gonna go with jail.

Jaune : I still can't believe that fishing pole guy took us out like it was nothing.

Weiss: Welcome to Atlas. Those were Ironwood's Ace Operatives.

An unfamiliar man sitting with the group finally speaks up.

Forest: Hmm? You guys had a run-in with the Ace-Ops? Ironwood must really have a bone to pick with you.

Weiss: (rolling her eyes) They're not that big of a deal.

Yang: well, they must be since they literarily (looks at Charlie)took down the strongest person here.

Forest: The Ace-Ops are the elite-of-elite military Huntsmen and Ironwood's personal attack dogs.

Nora: So they got you too, huh?

Forest: Pfft! I wouldn't let myself get caught by them. I'm here because I've been speaking out against Atlas' exploitation of Mantle, and General Ironwood is trying to silence me.

Pilot: You threw a brick at her ship!

Forest: (proudly) It's worth it if it gets people talking about our cause!

Charlie:(weakly) I... hate... it... here...

The pilot sighs in annoyance.

Blake: "Our cause"?

Forest: Yes, the fight for better conditions in Mantle! Lead by the charismatic, talented, lovely Robyn Hill and her Happy Huntresses!

The main pilot presses a button, causing the window between the cab and the back of the ship to begin slowly closing. Forest notices this, stands up and begins frantically shouting to the window so the guards can hear him.

Forest: They were all top Atlas Academy graduates, who could've signed up for the military, but Robyn and the Huntresses chose to stay in Mantle. She's gunning for a seat on the Kingdom's council, and when she gets it, she's gonna put an end to Ironwood's tyranny!

Oscar : Happy... Huntresses?

Yang: Is that their real name?

Weiss: Don't you think "tyranny's" a little dramatic?

Forest: Easy to say for a Schnee heiress, living comfortably up in Atlas.
