Ozpin, Joshua and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office. Joshua has been reading his Bible and sitting still in a corner for so long they forgot he was there.

Glynda: Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels.

Ozpin: Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man.But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore. Come in.

Ironwood: Ozpin!

Ozpin stands at attention.

Ozpin: Hello, General.

Ironwood: Please, drop the formalities. It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met.

Glynda: Oh, James! (Gives a personable wave and then drops all pleasantries.) I'll be outside.

Ironwood: Well, she hasn't changed a bit.

Ozpin speaks for a bit

Ozpin: (Takes a drink and sets down his mug.) We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression.

Joshua then speaks up

Joshua: Then I perhaps suggest a press conference so the people know why you are here. Better them know up front than them find out and experience negative emotions.

Ironwood: Who are you and where did you come from?

Ozpin: James this is Joshua Graham, the new counselor.

Joshua: I apologize for startling you. Good day.

Ironwood: Peculiar fellow.

Joshua leaves and heads to the library

In the Beacon Academy library, Team RWBY are shown playing Remnant: The Game.

Ruby: Hmmmmm.... All right... All right! (Points at Yang.) Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!

Yang: Bring it on!

Ruby: I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!  Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!

Yang: You fiend!

Ruby: And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn.

Yang: (Yang raises a card.) Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!

Ruby: Whaaat?!

Yang: Giant Nevermore!  If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!

Ruby: But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!

Yang: That's just a chance I'm willing to take.

Team JNPR are shown as Yang and Ruby banter on about the game. Ren and Pyrrha are studying, and Nora's snot bubble inflates and deflates as she sleeps.

Ruby: Nooooo!!! My fearless soldiers!

Yang: Eh, most of them were probably androids.

Ruby: Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged.

Yang: Not until I draw my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trade Route!

Ruby: Bah!

Nora: (snores and talks in her sleep) Oh. Have pancakes.

Yang: Oh, and what's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?

Pyrrha clears her throat and then confiscates a comic book Jeane is reading, trading it for a textbook.

Ruby: Bah! Bah, I say!
