White House
Oval Office

"Mr. President, here is the new design for the new ships for the Space Force." SecDef. Sarah
Pines said. As she gives the president design schematics

"How long will it take for these ships to be completed?" Pres. Harling said.

"If we start now, we can have the first 3 ships in service by next week." She said.

"Well, that's fast." Harling said as he look into the new ships.

"You can thank the holographic materializer that Raytheon made." She said.
(A/N: if you want to know what is a holographic materializer is, its like a 3D printer but instead it materializes the figure you want to make. )

"Why did the Space Force proposed to build only 6 ships?" He said.

"Well, to keep the budget as it is. If they were to increase the number of ships in the class it would be beyond the budget." Sarah said.

"Ok." Harling said. "So, how was the negotiations in Vale?"

"Everything worked well, but some problems arose, Atlesian general Ironwood is pissed by the Weapons Technology Export Ban." She said. "He was also mad that he can't have anything we have."

"What a crybaby." the president said. "Any more you want to say to me?"

"Yes, the Arkbird is finally finished. We can launch it with the mass drive at the Kennedy Space Center or we can just launch it now to space." She said

"We can't risk the Arkbird crashing down on to a populated area if we lauch it now." He said. "Move it to Kennedy and laucnh it with the mass drive."

"Yes sir."

"Oh, and one thing, keep me updated on the Space Force's battlecruisers." He said, she nods and left.

Kingdom of Atlas
Council Room

Days had passed since the U.S. arrived.

By now, everyone in Remnant knew who the new arrivals were. Even the more news-savvy individuals of the criminal underworld knew. What made it more interesting is that they are located where Grimm presence are numerous

When the news broke out that they was another continent far away, there was quite a lot of controversy regarding the subject. The Vale Council was wary, but understanding of their situation. They had not yet proven to be hostile; after all, they did assist in the evacuation of Beacon and most of Vale despite being in a completely foreign land. The Valean people also trusted them, their presence in Patch extremely diminishing criminal activity.

A noticeable trend wherever an American base was located. That is not to say that they would build a base on Patch, oh no.
