Three Months since RWBY's Return

Scarlet Council Room

Crimson Pov

Bloody paperwork. I should stop bitching about it but I can't help it. Old habits. Waiting for everyone to show up and doing paperwork is just me distracting myself. Been a rough few months. Yang coming back messed me up far more than I expected. I rather be gunned than by twelve shotguns than do that again. The fallout from my drunken state has settled at least. Neo is a bit wary at times and that hurts a lot. Reinheit acts like nothing has happened. Well, at least I don't drink anymore and I think it'll be better in the long run. I should go and visit Cinder soon. Been Very Stressed Lately. Now where the hell is everyone!? Duke is off to my left like the loyal Ravager he is. Glad someone is on time!

The doors open and I 'm finally freed from doing paperwork! Hurraah!! Everyone of importance was invited to this meeting. Broadside with a dozen officers from both regiments and their armored companies. Vanders with his airship captains. Winter only brings a trio of her officers with Lilliana having just a pair. For once Blank brings someone else besides Dakotah! Her Scorcher captain I believe. Brave sod was the first to try on the Firebat Power Armor and is still the only one to use it. All the rest use a rather slimmed down one. They got no sense of style. Everyone gets seated and its finally time. Now its time to figure out how to deal with the upcoming Summit in Vale and Salem.

Crimson: "Hell. It's about damn time. You all had me waiting."

Blank: "Oh relax! Takes time to get people together! Had to wait for elevators!"

Broadside: "Well if you don't have him in his damn armor then maybe we all or at least half of us can FIT IN THE FUCKING ELEVATOR!"

Blank: "Lose some weight then."

Winter: "Hmmm. But I prefer something...To hold on to and cuddle with though."

Vanders: "I hate you. Keep that shit out of here!"

Crimson: "For once. I agree. Now enough bullshit and lets get to business."

Broadside: "Yes Chief! The Army is more or less ready. We're just finishing training on the newest Siege Company. In terms of manpower, we are currently at three thousand Grunts and another five hundred in our armored companies. Those three thousand are split into the 1st and 2nd Regiments."

Winter: "The City Guard are around five hundred and thanks to some Grunt Veterans, they aren't slacking. We can hold the city till you all get back from killing Salem. We are also training the populace so we can form ad-hoc militias. We learned from Atlas. No repeats."

Lilliana: "Defense structures are just finishing. Bunkers and the such. We also have all the materials ready for making Bunkers and anything else we may need in our perceived siege on Salem. Ammo and Fuel stockpiles are full and we have additional being gathered. We have enough shells and missiles to besieged her for a week. We finally got those Hercules Transports you Terrans use now. Got enough space for everything."
