Yet again, no one said a word as the Viewing starts. All of the Audience Members that didn't know what happened in the Battle of Sera, are interested to see the fate of Hannah (Apollo) and Alex (Strider), with Cordovin and Harriet having smiles on their faces. They can't wait to see what happens to those two.
The Viewing starts off with the Interior of the Main Command Center. We can see the One-Five Members and Onyx Guard manning the Consoles as Jaune walks over to Loomis, who is looking at the view of the Airbase from the Window.
Jaune: Colonel Loomis, I respectfully request you reconsider court-martialing Hannah and Alex.
Loomis: The actions of One-Five Members 150055 and 150050 were a clear Act of Treachery and disregard for my Command. If punishment isn't swift, their defiance may inspire others to follow suit.
Jaune: Sir, the Men and Women are with you. It's just that some of them feel you're putting their Lives in danger needlessly.
Loomis: All the more reason to send a clear Message that I am in charge, and insubordination will not be tolerated. The truth is, these Arcadians have had a difficult time respecting my Command since the beginning. I've seen it before. You Arcadians are just defective. They aren't able to succumb to Authority, given your People gave them a right to choose or make a stand, something many Militaries do not approve. You're right, Major. I don't think I can Court-Martial them. It will only be a waste of time, and that's something we don't have.
Jeanne: The only reason why your Soldiers are disobeying your orders and not respecting your Command, is how you lead it.
She looks over to the Students from the 4 Kingdoms, Jeanne doesn't give a damn if the Beacon Students don't listen to what she will say, Jeanne will only care about those that listen and understand her.
Jeanne: When it comes to Leadership, sometimes there are two things to take into Factor. 1: The Public's opinion, and 2: How you treat your Soldiers. First up, People want results, and you will have to get said results by any means necessary, or else risk failure. Sometimes you have to follow what the People want, even if it will cost you your life, and sometimes, those consequences if seen by many, will be disastrous. And number 2, I will make this short. You need to earn your Soldier's respect, they will respect you by Order of Authority. But in combat, that's a different Story. Cause if you don't respect them, at the end of the day, no one will follow you. And many of those Soldiers who are suppose to respect you or follow you, will want you out.
Many of the Students took note of what Jeanne said, with Cordovin scoffing at the respect part. She doesn't need to earn their respect, her Rank is doing it for her.
He turns around, facing Jaune and walks up to him.
Loomis: I'm afraid they'll need to be disposed of. Prepare a Squad for execution.
Jaune: What? But-but, Sir-
Loomis: You heard me, Major!
All of the One-Five Members and Onyx Guard looked at each other in surprise by this order.
Loomis: Have it done immediately, or I'll do it myself.
The minute he said that, everyone, minus that of the One-Five, had a shocked reaction to the order. While the One-Five and a few of the Arcadians are glaring at Loomis.
Nora: Wait, he's going to have you guys executed?!
Jeanne: He has authority to do so since he is the Colonel and has command of the Battalion. Along with the fact that there is no other Officer higher than him, Loomis can issue the Command without problem.
