"What's your nation's flag stand for?" Pyrrha asked.
"The stripes represent the thirteen colonies, which is how the United States originally started out," Kendra said.
"And the stars represent the fifty states of the Union," Allen added.
"And the colors, what do they symbolize?" Ren asked.
"Red is for hardiness and valor," Jacob said.
"White is for purity and innocence," Robert said.
"And blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice," Ricky said.
"This flag of yours does seem promising," Ozpin said.
As soon as the flag slowly starts to raise up the poll, the U.S. soldiers including Keaton, Alex, Cassandra, and Steel began to salute to the flag and Team GRMA and Team CFDT all put their right hands over their hearts while the United States anthem, The Star Spangled Banner began to play on the PA system.
O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
After the anthem finished playing and the flag was raised, the soldiers stopped saluting and the Terran teams put their hands down.
"You seem pretty patriotic with all that," Ironwood said.
"Like you wouldn't believe," Steel said.
"There are some people back home that don't think so unfortunately," Alex said.
"Now that's out of the way, let's show you the HQ we've been working on," Cassandra said.
Everyone starts to make their way to the new organization's building.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the new building for the new organization.
"It looks impressive," Ironwood said.
"It is still under construction and they said it will be finished in a couple weeks," Ozpin said.
"Mind if you show me around?" Ironwood asked.
"No, not at all. Please follow us," Keaton said.
A few minutes after walking inside, everyone was walking down the hall, giving the Atlesian General the tour.
"So how are things back at Atlas?" Kelly asked.
"Sometimes stressful. Most of the time the citizens of Atlas were mainly talking about Earth's militaries all over Remnant and their reactions are mixed," Ironwood explained.
"Mixed?" Yang asked.
"Some like Robyn thought of the Terrans as a great help, while others like Jacques and the most of the wealthy in Atlas thought of them as a threat and say that Atlas is far greater," Ironwood said.
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me," Ricky said.
"Well, what did you expect? That's pretty much a norm coming from him," Blake said.
"True enough," Keaton said.
They all reached Lab 3 and Ironwood looked around the lab for a moment and glanced at the Merlot Industries android and supplies before speaking.
"This lab is impressive and I see you have one of Merlot's androids and some of his supplies," he said.
"We're going through that stuff so we can hopefully get a lead to find the bastard," Steel said.
"Yeah, he did manage to get a hold on the teleporting Dust," Cassandra said.
"And?" Ironwood asked.
"So far nothing," Alex said.
"But we're still investigating," Keaton said.
"So what do you want us to do?" Jaune asked.
"Just give us some time to think on what to do. Until then, just attend your classes," Glynda said.
Meanwhile in the conference hall, Salem and Cinder sit alone at the table while Mercury and Emerald wait by the door. Cinder is breathing heavily and slightly wincing in pain while Salem has her right hand casually held out.
"Do you feel it? Don't fight it, girl. It can sense you trepidation," Salem said. "You must make it dread you."
A soft clicking sound makes Cinder turn toward the door. All is black but for a slowly moving forward yellow glow. It reveals to be a small, spherical body that is covered with bone-like plates, along with red tentacles ending in white, bony spikes and a single eye. This Grimm is identified as a Seer.

Emerald and Mercury backed away fearfully as the Seer enters the room. It glides its way over to Salem at the head of the table. Once the Seer Grimm reaches her side. she leans closer to it.
"Have our numbers find this man and bring him here unharmed," Salem said.
The jellyfish-like Grimm glides out of the room as Cinder watches then turns back to Salem. Emerald and Mercury walked up to Cinder's side.
"Contact the others. They have an additional assignment," Salem said. "They are to find a man that could provide the help we need."
Cinder taps on to Emerald's arm as Emerald then leans in towards her as she rasps in her ear.
"She's asking who?" Emerald said.
"A scientist by the name of Dr. Merlot," Salem replied.
