Argus Military Base

Daytime in Argus. At the Atlesian Military Base, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. Weiss Schnee is seen walking with Caroline Cordovin, Fresh Baked Cookies, and Saphron Cotta-Arc, who is holding her son Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck Guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.

Cordovin: Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending... (with disdain) Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart.

Weiss: (pretending) It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots. Isn't that right, FN?

FBC: (barely contained anger) ...Yes. Your family will be overjoyed to see you again my Lady.

Cordovin: Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps.

Weiss: (with an unenthusiastic smile) Absolutely...

Cordovin: I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part. (winks and walks away)

FBC: We shall do that.

Nubuck Guard 1: Allow me to assist you with your bag. (hups over to pick up Weiss' luggage) My, what a heavy bag!

Weiss: (keeping her grip on her luggage) That's alright!

Nubuck Guard 1: Nonsense!

Nubuck Guard 2: Allow me to assist as well!

Weiss: I can take care of it by myself!

FBC: Perhaps I may be of assistance?

As Cordovin walks away, she overhears Weiss, FBC, and the Nubuck Guards conversation. She stops in her tracks and gains a suspicious look on her face. Saphron notices this.

Saphron: (whispering to Adrian) Just like we practiced.

Adrian nods at his mother. The baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cries" as he fusses in his mother's arms.

Saphron: (pretending) Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!

Nubuck Guard 1: A crying child?

Nubuck Guard 2: We must console it!

The two guards hup over to Adrian as they perform weird poses to amuse him. Cordovin continues walking with an unamused look on her face. While they are distracted, Weiss quickly gets onto the airship with FBC carrying the luggage behind her.

Weiss: That was close.

Ruby: (over earpiece) Is everything okay?

Maria: (from inside Weiss' luggage) Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!

FBC: Well, you can't win against an entire army. Also, shhh!

Weiss: We're on board.

Forest Cliff

Elsewhere, Ruby Rose, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine, Rody Azuris and Qrow Branwen wait along the cliffside between the forest and the ocean.

Ruby: Alright, we'll all watch our scrolls. The second Weiss is out of range of the comm tower, that'll mean she's out of range of the radar too.

Yang: (over radio) And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off.

In The Forest

In another area, Yang Xiao Long is driving Bumblebee with Blake Belladonna and Donald Azuris sitting behind her. Blake has her Scroll out receiving instructions from Terra Cotta-Arc.
