Team RWBY, Y/n, Qrow, Oscar, and Maria are seen standing outside of the gates to the Atlesian Military base. Yang puts her hands on the bars of the gate to speak to the guards.

Yang: Come on! You didn't even hear us out!

Gaurd 1: Our orders are clear: The Mistral-Atlas border is closed!

Gaurd 2: Please!

Gaurd 1: Have a good day!

Yang: But--

Both Gaurds: A good day!!

Qrow: Hey, if you don't wanna believe that I'm friends with Ironwood--

Both Guards: General Ironwood!

Qrow: Yeah, General Ironwood, then fine. But look, we have Weiss Schnee with us and we're trying to get her home safely.

Weiss looks down with reluctance upon hearing Qrow say that. The two guards look to each other before turning their attention back to the group.

Both Guards: Approach!

Weiss shares a look with Blake, who just shrugs. She then looks at you. You smile. She quickly looks away. Weiss then walks up to the gate and the two guards step up and bend down to inspect her. After a moment, both gaurds stand straight back up.

Both Guards: Very well!

Guard 2: You may speak with our commanding officer!

Guard 1: We will fetch her at once!

The two guards turn around in sync, and say "Hup hup hup" and "Atlas Atlas Atlas" as they run to get their superior.

Blake: They were... kind of--

Ruby: Super wierd? Uh, yeah.

Maria: Hmm...

Oscar: What's wrong?

Maria: Well, I... may know this commanding officer...

Ruby: That's good, isn't it? If she's your friend, then maybe she'd be more willing to help us.

Maria: I wouldn't exactly call us... "friends".

Weiss: Acquaitances?

Maria: Not quite.

Blake: Colleagues?

Maria: Warmer.

Yang: Enemies?

Maria: That's the one!

Y/n: Wait, what?

Maria: Oh, yes. I come through here about once every ten years to get my eyes checked up in Atlas. You bring outside cashews on one flight, and suddenly you're placed on the additional screening list for life!

Qrow: You've gotta be kidding me...

Maria: Now, now, let's not give up hope yet. (beat) Maybe she's dead!

Suddenly, the gates open up quickly, and the two guards return.

Guard 1: Introducing!

Guard 2: Special operative!

Both Guards: Caroline Cordovin!

Footsteps can be heard approaching, before the camera lowers down to reveal a short-statured elderly woman around Maria's age wearing the standard Atlesian officer uniform. Cordovin steps forward and glares at Maria.

Cordovin: Witch.

Maria: She-devil.

Cordovin: Hm. I've seen you've chosen larger contraband to smuggle this time.
