Manta airships patrol the skies around the City of Atlas, keeping in communication with each other over radio. As Maria Calavera pilots the group’s stolen Manta toward the city, they receive radio contact.
Atlas Air Traffic Female: Manta 5-1. Welcome home. Please continue your approach to Atlas docking bay Omega-12. A security team will meet you there. Over.
Ruby and the others aboard Manta 5-1 look around at the large military air fleet surrounding the kingdom’s capital.
Ruby: I don’t understand. What’s happening here?
Qrow: I don’t know.
Jaune: But we are here. We got the lamp to Atlas, so I guess we land and get some answers?
Pyrrha: Hm, hopefully they're willing to talk.
Weiss: I’m not so sure. I’ve never seen our forces deployed so aggressively before. If we land in a stolen ship, there’s no way the security team will let us anywhere near Ironwood. They might even take me back to my father.
Blake gains a saddened look, while Ruby and Yang look at each other, uncertain of what to do.
Gojira: I won't let that happen Weiss.
Weiss smiles, then all of a sudden gets an idea, and suddenly looks up.
Weiss: Winter!
Weiss brings out her Scroll.
Weiss: *to Maria* Put some distance between us and the fleet.
Maria: You don’t have to tell me twice.
As Weiss walks to the back of the ship with Sora and a sleeping Miya, Maria steers the ship toward Mantle. As people wander the streets of Mantle, the group looks over the city through the Manta’s windows. They fly past a giant screen on the side of a skyscraper. Ironwood’s voice comes from the screen, catching Ruby,Yang, and Gojira's attention.
Ironwood: ...cannot express our appreciation enough. Many describe these as uncertain times, and while that may be the case for the rest of the world, I can tell you what is certain. The Kingdom of Atlas will remain strong, and it will remain safe. That is my promise.
Ruby and Yang look saddened, while Gojira seemed to be drifting off… as if he was getting a headache.
Yang: General Ironwood. He looks…
Ruby: Tired.
Qrow: James, what have you been doing?
Four Atlesian Knight-200s are seen walking down a street in Mantle, while civilians around them complain about their presence.
Civilian 1: Ugh, not these again.
Civilian 2: Why can’t they just leave us be?
A small drone floats along a sidewalk, while a pair of small children hide in an alley. One of the children picks up a rock and throws it at the drone, which spins around to look, prompting the children to hide against the wall. Weiss sadly stares out of Manta 5-1’s window with her Scroll in her palm. Her Scroll is set to call Winter, who does not answer.
Weiss: This isn’t right. None of this is right.
Gojira: You're telling me… have you tried calling Anna?
Weiss: You have her number?
Gojira: *sigh* no. It was on my old scroll, but it broke when I, you know, fell?
Weiss: *nervously twirls her hair* Oh sorry...
Once again, the stolen Manta receives contact over the radio.
