Bridge
Isabel: Captain we are holding steady in orbit of the remains of the Forward Unto Dawn.
Cutter: good, let's see if we can salvage it. Have the Fabricators update our databases on what we find there.
Isabel: Spartan Red Team is still clearing it, and found nothing else on the ship.
Cutter: and how are we on our forces?
Isabel: a lot of marines got wounded during the evacuation, it's a good thing our medics were able to keep them alive long enough to be treated properly.
But so far we only lost 20 men during the battle.
Cutter: understood, but a loss is still a loss. Have the Men and Women rested and have the ship on stand by alert.
And what of Commander Arc?
Isabel: he's rested up but the sprain in his ankle is still there, but he opted to return to active duty despite that.
Cutter: same old same old.
Meanwhile
Brig
The UNSC has began grilling those who remained loyal to the Deposed General Ironwood
Clover: let us out of here!
Forge: not so fun when you're not the ones in power huh?
Johnson: let them waste their breathe Forge, men like them are a dime a dozen.
Clover: aren't you guys soldiers!?
Forge: yeah, so what?
Harriet: we were just following orders.
Elm: you should understand that!
Johnson got fed up and went near the glass
Johnson: following orders when they make sense is what a soldier does, not blindly follow order when they are idiotic like a bunch of brain dead machines isn't.
Ironwood: you don't understand! We had no choice!
Then more people entered the Brig
It was Jaune and his friends along with Qrow, Robyn, Vine and Marrow
Harriet: you damn traitors!
Jaune: shut it Atlasian Scum!
Weiss and Winter felt somewhat offended
Ironwood: who do you think you are!? Wait.... you are Jaune Arc that Nikos told us was responsible for killing the Wyvern at Beacon.
Oscar-Ozpin: and the same one who lead the Force that saved the people of Mantle and Atlas.
Ironwood: Ozpin?
Then a hologram popped up as it show the many displaced civilians with the UNSC soldiers tending to them
Jaune: you see that, all of those people are the ones you condemned to the Grimm by choosing to save only Atlas.
Clover, Harriet and Elm looked at the massive amount of people who could have died if they wen through with their plan
The Gravity of their orders was finally brought to light and they began contemplating the people they could have killed by doing their job
Forge: good soldiers follow orders.
Johnson: hogwash Machines follow orders, Soldiers decide what they do on the battlefield.
Then they replayed Ironwood's Ultimatum to team RWBY
Clover looked at the General as he was a stranger
Ironwood: I did.........
Jaune: SHUT UP!!!!!
that scared his friends, to think their once goofy friend raising his voice especially to one of authority is so surreal
Jaune: a Soldier stands his ground and save lives. You simply wanted to cut and run, do you know who else does that? Cowards, Criminals, Bandits and Thieves.
Ironwood wanted to retort until a Fearsome Glare from both Jaune and Oscar-Ozpin shuts him up
Jaune: Let me explain what's happening here, YOU are a Criminal.
I watched you Condemn an Entire City filled with Men, Women and Children to their Death without giving them a chance or even consider saving some of them.
I was authorized to END YOU. And the only reason why you are still alive is because I am allowing it SO SHUT. YOU'RE. MOUTH.
Qrow: So you gonna punch him over and over until he gets some sense back into him?
Robyn Elbowed Qrow hard to shut him up while Jaune ignored the Man Child
he then turned to Oscar-Ozpin
Jaune: My men have saved the people, but they need a place to stay. I have planned a Reclamation Campaign in Vale. I need to contact Miss Goodwitch and coordinate an assault to retake the Kingdom.
Qrow: I'll save you the trouble, I got her on speed dial but without a working CCT we...
Jaune: our communication devices can work with out it.
Pyrrha: Jaune! You can't be serious of going into battle with you're injuries! You haven't fully recovered!
Then Isabel appeared surprising everyone
Nora: ooh glowing lady.
Isabel: she is right Commander, you are in no shape to fight. You need 2 more weeks of bed rest to be fully functional.
Jaune: The Mark...
Isabel: sorry sir, the extensive damage to the Mark III have taken it's toll on the working servos of the suit. It will take 4 days to fully repair, diagnose and re-arm it.
Then a large Lumbering Spartan walked in with arms crossed
Cal: you are not going anywhere Commander.
Jaune: technically I out rank you Spartan.
Cal: and technically I'm fully functional to operate in my missions.
Jaune: *tch!*
Yang: yeah Jauney boy, you need some rest. We all can handle this.
Jaune: I don't trust you guys do.
Weiss: and what is that supposed to mean?
Jaune: even though I don't agree with General Batt Shit insane. I agree that he went ape shit because you guys have been lying to him behind his back.
Ruby: we couldn't just tell him that Salem is immortal, he would have flipped out!
Jaune: oh? and Him finding out during the Assault was any better?
Penny: the General was pushed to the edge with everything that happened.
Jaune: doesn't excuse his actions.
Penny: No it doesn't.
Cal: Commander, do I need to haul your ass to bed?
Jaune: I need to just do some tasks and I'll go back. Okay Mom?
No one could see it but Cal blushed underneath her Helmet
Blake: you became sassy.
Jaune: yeah missed you too emo.
Blake: I'm not an emo.
Johnson: the amount of black on you speaks other wise.
Qrow: alright I'll give you Glynda's Number.
Ruby: so we're going back to Beacon?
Oscar-Ozpin: it appears so Miss Rose.
