You get out of the mines and see Amity Coloseum arriving as well as some military transports

Ruby and Jaune are fangirling on the Ace Ops

After some small talk, Clover go talk to James who just arrived

Ruby: What do you guys wanna do when we get back to Atlas? Sigh seeing? Oh what should we visit first?

Blake: How about our beds

Ruby: Oh come on guys! This is a great time to go exploring. We haven't done it in soooo long...

Weiss: Ruby. We just explored a whole continent. On foot. Before flying to this one

"Well. Yeah... But it was only the boring parts..."

Yang: We almost died

Ruby: Pfff

Everyone leave, she looks at you with puppy eyes

y/n: 3 times

She looks down

"But. I remember I owe you a pack of cookies"

Her eyes brighten again

"How about this. We go walking through Atlas a bit, I buy you cookies, and we come back to train"

"Let's do this!!!"

Ironwood: Can I get the teams leader, Qrow and y/n over here. There's something I'd like to discuss with you

You walk to him

Qrow: New problems in Mantle?

"*sigh* More of the same, unfortunately"

He show us an hologram with his scroll. It's the face of the man that was in the transport with upon your arrival, and there's a photo of him lying on the ground, visibly dead

"Someone in Mantle is taking out public leader who speaks against Atlas. Specifically, people who speak out against me. It didn't look like a pattern at first, but this is the third murder of its kind last week..."

Jaune: Wait a minute. That's the guy who road with us after we were arrested

Ruby, putting her hands on her mouth: He... died...

Qrow: Your opposition in Mantle dropping dead isn't exactly a good look for you, uh?

Ironwood: Not really worried about my public image. But it is causing unrest, I think someone's trying to frame me. And, by extention, Atlas. And it's working...

Jaune: Well, if it wasn't for the embargo making everybody so mad people probably wouldn't be so quick to blame you for everything else

Wow Jaune calm down

"*clear throat* Sir"

He's realize what he said and fear what James will do

James: No. No. You're right. Things in Mantle have been... hard to manage lately. I'm not blind to its issue, in fact that's what I wanted to talk to you about

He turns

"With the launch of the mobile communications tower. And, tensions down in Mantle. I think there's a lot of good your teams can do here"

He receives a call

".....What? Already? Here?........ No. It's fine. Let him land. I'll deal with him myself"

Qrow: More, Mantle problems?

You see a weird airship landing

"No. This one's an Atlas problem"
