It was a slow day as the White Fang Rally was cancelled due to the lack of something to show as their plan to steal Atlas Weapons Grade material was thwarted 

Blake was put at ease hearing the news that many of the Vale Branch was now under arrest while many have fled from their life in the Fang

Sienna was angry and was leading a formal investigation on the Vale Branch and condemned such radical actions as her statement that the White Fang is a reactionary force not a preemptive one

Funny enough Cinder was angry that her operations was getting busted one by one and was forced to delay the Breach Operation

Unfortunately for her Mt.Glenn was currently being used for the Hammer of Dawn tests

And it was constantly bombarded as a result

Cinder was now in full Meltdown after reports of their base in Mt

Cinder was now in full Meltdown after reports of their base in Mt.Glenn was now gone

But this action caused speculation among Atlas

First the mass disappearance, then massive destruction some idiots in Atlas are claiming it's the END times and causing Doomsday News to spread

Meanwhile in New Ephyra

C.O.G Capital Building

Anya: so are the tests running well?

She was speaking to a Monitor

Baird: yeah, the new targeting system is working better than ever, we can get accurate less destructive strikes using the Hammer.

Anya: yeah, I am still uncomfortable with those things.

Baird: I know your stance with the Hammer Anya but we need a way to instantly eliminate a Grimm Horde by how the natives here have been warning us.

Anya: I understand it's just I don't want a repeat on what the Old C.O.G did at Sera.

Baird: believe me JD won't even allow us to use the Hammer if he can help it.

Anya: he takes after his Father with that hard head of his.

Baird: I think he got some of that from you Madam President.

Anya: watch it Baird.

Baird: I know.

Anya: anything else?

Baird: oh a little birdy told me JD has.............*zzzzzt*

Anya: Baird?

Baird:.........*crrrkkkkk*

Nothing but Static was shown on the Monitor

Anya: F.O.B Diplomat what is going on?

Baird?

Anyone?

................zzzrttt..............

It was nothing for a few moments until the feed was re-established

Jaune: New Ephyra can you hear me?

Anya: JD? Do you read me?

Jaune: loud and clear Madam President.

Anya: Jaune.

Jaune: sorry mom, just a technical issue.

She sees Baird laying down on the floor in the Family Guy death pose

Anya: Jaune what happened?

Jaune: nothing, Uncle Baird was just running his mouth and I had to cut it short for efficiency's sake.

Then a voice came from the background that caused Anya to raise an eyebrow

Grace: Jaune the adjustments and improvements are all finished *yawn*

Jaune: okay Grace, take a break and get some shut eye we've been up all night

Jaune: okay Grace, take a break and get some shut eye we've been up all night.

Grace: *yawn* okay see you in the morning.

Anya: who was that?

Jaune: oh that's just engineer Grace Howard of the autonomous division. We are currently working on R&D on new weapons for the Gears.

Anya: oh? Why the First name basis?

Jaune: I'll take your questions under advisement. That is all we have to report along with our current engagement with the White Fang.

Nothing is out of the ordinary.

Out.

He cuts the feed as Anya just sat on her desk puzzled by JD's avoidance, she plans to make calls to the Old Delta Squad to get an idea as to what was happening with JD

After the talk Jaune went back to work as Baird recovered and got back up

Baird: seriously JD you really had to knock my ass out?

Jaune: if you keep spewing Bullshit, I will make it my job to put you back in line.

Baird: Oh I'll just tell you're mother about you're new assistant.

Jaune: and I'll tell Sam about you're search history.

Baird: you wouldn't dare.

Cole: alright alright let's chill. We still have our rounds to finish. You get some shut eye boss. You were up all night fixing that new suit we got.

Jaune: okay I'll drop it. But if I hear anything about this reaching Mom I'll personally Stuff you in a Torpedo Tube with a 300 Kilogram Explosive and with Oum as my Witness I will tear you apart limb from limb Do you Understand?

Baird: loud and clear sir.

He gave a salute in a mocking way

Jaune: dismissed lieutenant.

He then leaves to go to sleep 

It was a productive day as the Hammer of Dawn System was now fully functional and ready for use and the Exo Suit was improved and had all the kinks buffed out

The Vytal Festival was getting closer
