General POV

The Union Navy is seen slowly gliding into the Beacon Lagoon...or at least 3 surface ships were, the USS Missouri BB-01, the FGS Bismarck BB-02, and the JS Nagato BB-03. Under the waves however was the USS Jose Rizal SSN-01 acting as a little surprise should anything go wrong...but Andy wasn't there. 

As the Missouri tied itself up General Ironwood, Ozpin, and Glynda were there to greet Alex, Hana, and Bismarck....alongside a battalion of Atlesian troops and mechs to answer the overwhelming amount of Union Marines and Crewmen. 

Ozpin: "Welcome to Beacon you 3, we welcome you all with open arms." he said. 

Alex: "It's great to be here." he said, trying desperately not to fight Ironwood, "May we unload our ships?" 

Ironwood: "By all means, make yourselves at home." he said, welcomingly.

Alex looked at Hana who nodded and blew a whistle attached to a chain around her neck. 

Hana: "All troops, disembark!" she ordered. 

In near perfect unison the Marines marched down the gangway with bags, boxes, crates, etc. They had been given permission to present and show off their military might after all. 

Ozpin: "Walk with us." he said, "We have much to discuss, including the absence of 2 of you." 

Alex: "They're just running a little late with something." he shrugged. 

Bismarck: "It's nothing too fancy." she added. 

With Andy and Amelia they were finishing the fitting out of the ship from last chapter it was already fully formed it just needed all its furnishings and internal systems to be installed which meant life support, medical equipment, navigational systems, furnishings in the bridge, and a few final tweaks with the engines. 

Andy: "Ok, all systems look ready." he said, admiring his handiwork.

Amelia: "Yup, scanners, limiters, shields, weapons, and ventilation seem to be in order." she reported, "All that's left now is the engines." 

Andy: "Right and the wave motion gun is having some problems?" he asked. 

Amelia: "Just needs a bit of refining is all, no pressure." she shrugged, tapping on a tablet. 

Andy nodded and continued working to wire everything up properly, as he ducked under a console Amelia just started staring at him. 

Amelia: 'God Hana's gonna be so jealous!' she sang in her head. 

Andy: "Anything the matter? I can only hear myself right now." he called out. 

Amelia: "N-nothing, just that you uh.....don't have a screwdriver." she said, tossing him one. 

Andy: "Thanks I guess...?" he said, unsurely catching the tool, "Guess I'll tighten the screws again..." 

Andy went back to work as did Amelia. 

With RWBY and JNPR they were gawking at the ships in port, especially Ruby who, while bummed that Andy wasn't present, was happily shooting around Missouri's Main Guns. 

Ruby: "Look at this sis!" she yelled from inside B Turret's middle gun, "I can fit my head in it!"

Yang: "I don't think that's a smart move sis!" she yelled, turning to a sailor, "Is that ok?" 

Union Sailor 1: "I think it is...I dunno." she shrugged, "The guys certainly think it is." 

Yang: "What do you mean by that?" she asked.
