Rwby and others react to the future

Strings

A cartoonish series of animated infographics pops up next to Penny as she talks, illustrating the effects of Ruby's Semblance. However, Ruby looks dumbfounded.

Ruby: I, uh, what?

Penny: You can use your Semblance on all of us.

The infographic disappears in a burst of stars. Ruby still looks stunned.

"Ok that's a lot to take in but I'm glad I'm learning more about my semblance," Ruby said

"I'm glad I could help," penny said

Blake: (gestures at her, amused) Did... Penny just figure that out before you did?

Ruby: Blake, she knew you were a Faunus before I did

Elsewhere in the complex, General James Ironwood meets with Arthur Watts. He enters the room, adjusting his mechanical left arm and straightening his tie.

Ironwood: Apologies for the delay, today has been... busy. Have you made any progress?

He circles a workstation to where Watts is working. A revolving wireframe of Penny is displayed on one screen, and a recorded video feed of her standoff with Cinder plays on another. Lines of code scroll across the screen as he types.

"Great know we have watts to deal with again" yang said

"He seems to be trying to hack into me," penny said

"Oh no if he can do that they can get the relic of creation," Weiss said

"Don't worry it will take him a long time to get into my systems" penny said

"That's good but it'll happen eventually right?" Ruby asked

"Who knows maybe he can't hack into her," yang said

"I agree with yang let's have some hope," Blake said

"Of course, you're agreeing with her," Weiss said

"Hmm should I tell Weiss about what happens in the future," zen thinks

Ironwood: I'd hate for us to have to try motivating you... Again.

The general claps his hands on Watts' shoulders in a threatening gesture, causing the latter's eyes to widen in surprise, pausing his work momentarily.

Watts: Given what we're after, I've got all the motivation I need. Sadly it doesn't make taking down Pietro's magical science project any less cumbersome.

Ironwood releases his grip on Watts' shoulders as he continues typing.

Ironwood: Oh, I trust you can come up with something.

Watts: Oh, the trust is palpable.

"Good At least we know he only using him but watts is smart he thinks of a way out," qrow said

"It not good that I'm working with him it'll only end in disaster," ironwood said

A wide shot reveals four Atlesian soldiers standing in a firing stance, their guns levelled at Watts. A red security alert pops up on Watts' screen, and he pulls up a map of the military complex.

Watts: Speaking of the man, are you aware that dear Dr Polendina is gallivanting around your military compound?

Ironwood leans down to inspect the screen. A window with text reading "DR. POLENDINA'S CREDENTIALS IN USE" can be seen.

Watts: Unless, of course, someone else is using his credentials.

The general let out a frustrated growl.
