Ironwood: This is the worst-case scenario!

He slams his hand on the desk as he watched a recording of Penny with her weapons out. More people are dead, Penny has been framed and somehow Jacque Schnee is sitting at the council.

Clover: That was the second shipment that was hit today. Looks like Robyn went from Full-time hero to full-time Vigilante.

Mag: The problem is a bit more complicated.

Ironwood: We have been told our provision is held off until we fix this situation. The amity project is stalled.

Ruby: But we're so close there is some way we have to finish the tower.

Winter: There is.... declaring martial law.

Ironwood looked out the window thinking about it.

Sou: Please tell me you aren't actually thinking about it.

Ironwood: What's more important? Establishing communications or appeasing a few city blocks.

Oka stares at Ironwood seeing a familiar man in his place.

(Oka: He's starting to remind me of Tarrlok.)

Nora: Don't make it sound trivial when you know it isn't. You keep talking about how we need more time but you're not the one having to struggle.

Ironwood: We have all had to make sacrifice for the great or good. Mantle has had to bear a lot but-

Sou started to go dark and glare.

Nora: They're bearing all of it! The longer this waiting game goes on the harder each day gets for people down there and now you want to send more soldiers. You can't force people to fall in line. You're trading all these problems for the grimm.

Mag placed his hand on Sou's shoulder and calmed him down. Sage watched her Aunt Nora standing up to the general. Ironwood sat down and thought about it.

Ruby: Please General. Squeezing Mantle this way. 

Sou: That's what Salem wants. We can't give that to her. Tyrian framing you is step one. But her other worker...That's a different problem.

Sou looked at Oka seeing him looking down.

Clover: Right, the reason why we called you in here. Are you sure this was the man you three saw and this is the woman you and Oka fought.

Winter: Tyrian Callows and Korra. Tyrian was accused of murders across anima and Korra was the reason Vale had it's first earthquake.

Ruby: They both work for Salem and he's here.

Qrow: If we have any doubts that Atlas was there next target. I think those are officially out the windows.

Ruby: But now we have a suspect. We can tell the people.

Mag: That would cause panic Ruby. We don't know where he is.

Nora: I am so sick of secrets! If we just told people about amity about Salem-

Ironwood had enough.

Ironwood: We can't!

Everyone looked at Ironwood.

Ironwood: If we talk about Amity Salem forces who we know are here will be working to sabotage. If we tell them about Salem, then we risk Grimm coming here before we can reunite remnant. We have to finish the tower! I want Robyn Hill in custody we can offer her a deal if she can get Mantle to work with us.

Clover: We'll figure it out.

Ironwood: Anyone who isn't working on that needs work on the Tyrian case. I want to know who he's working with where he's hiding what's he planning and how that video of Penny got in my kingdom.
