The volume shows RNJR, Qrow, and Nikki we're walking down a stone brick tunnel with translucent lanterns.
Qrow: the city of Mistral...
Nora: ugh! It's about time! Whose idea was it to walk again?
Ren: well, we did face many obstacles. Broken airships, destroyed settlements...
Jaune: oh, and, you know, all those people and monsters that tried to murder us.
Ruby: pfft, we were fine. (Looking at Qrow with a smile) only one of us almost died.
Qrow: (looking at Ruby, smiling back) hey.
Nikki: so, love, will we see the school soon?
Jaune: yeah, how much farther to Haven Academy?
Qrow: almost there. But I figured I'd take you kids on the scenic route.
The group approaches a pair of large, wooden double doors, which Qrow opens, flooding the tunnel with sunlight. Ruby runs out onto a massive platform that doubles as an elevator, stopping at the railing to gaze out over the city in wide-eyed awe. Below them, large crowds of people are going about their day - walking around, talking and buying merchandise legally and illegally.
Ruby: wow. This... is... awesome!
Nikki: it's quite the view. (Grabs Ember from flying off)
Qrow: it's certainly something.
Ruby: (noticing a kiosk selling weapons) oh my gosh, look at all the weapons!
Qrow: vendors here'll sell you just about anything... whether they should or not.
Jaune: they really made the most out of these mountains.
Qrow: every inch. Stay away from the lower levels. The higher up you go, the nicer it gets.
Nora: and we are going up! (Pointing upward)
Nikki couldn't help but feel something was off. She didn't know what, but a voice in the back of her head was telling her that something's going on here.
*VALI and WEISS*
With the two firends, Vali was resting against the cargo while the ship was flying over an enormous lake.
Weiss: so, how much farther?
Pilot: we're in the home stretch now.
Vali: you're certain?
Pilot: yep. No more stops from here to Mistral. Sorry for the long trip. Keeping us off the radar's been harder than I thought. Lots of air traffic around northern Anima.
Weiss: it's fine. I... just hope we haven't been a burden.
Pilot: (chuckles) you and your money are more than welcome on this ship, kid.
The ship's radio suddenly picks up a transmission.
Pilot: (looking at it) what the...?
He reaches over and adjusts a slider, evening out the wavelengths on the screen.
Weiss: is everything okay?
Pilot: I don't know. We're still over Lake Matsu. Shouldn't be picking up broadcasts this far from Mistral. Someone must be close.
Mistral Pilot: (panics) mayday, mayday! We are a small passenger flight, and our Huntress is down! We aren't equipped to deal with this!
Pilot: oh man.
