After HK-47 pledged his loyalty to Adam Taurus, the Assassin Droid quickly becomes the White Fang's secret weapon. Through raids and assassinations, HK-47 launches a campaign of terror for the White Fang. One day, a group of people entered Adam Taurus's camp. HK-47 quickly warns of the impending arrival. 

HK-47: Analysis: There are three meatbags approaching the camp. They don't appear to be Faunus. Query: Shall I kill them, Master?

Adam: Not yet, HK. First let's see what these humans have to say for themselves.

Soon enough, three people entered the room. Cinder Fall along with Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black stood before Adam Taurus. 

HK-47: Statement: You three stand in the presence of Adam Taurus of the White Fang. For now, my master will be entertaining your arrival. If you try anything, I will have fun exterminating you. 

Mercury: You really think a worn down bucket of bolts like you could take us down? 

HK-47: Objection: Worn down? Listen, you worthless organic meatbag! One word from my master and I will pull you apart limb from limb! Commentary: I say we blast these three meatbags and feed them to the Grimm. 

Adam: Stand down, HK. 

HK-47: Commentary: Very well, Master. Charging weapons just in case.

Adam soon approached the three humans in his tent. After a brief moment of silence, Cinder began to speak to Adam. 

Cinder: Adam Taurus of the White Fang. Your reputation proceeds you. This robot must be the White Fang's secret weapon. 

Adam: What are you here for? Talk before I have HK deal with you. 

Cinder: We believe the White Fang can be of services to us. 

Upon hearing this, Adam took note of Cinder's words. To hear a human regard the White Fang like a hired gang annoyed him. 

Adam: So let me get this straight. You could've gone to anyone for help. You could've made a deal with a gang leader, paid off some Huntsman that strayed from their righteous path. But instead, you choose to seek an audience with me. 

Cinder: You're the one we need. Your skill. Your ability to lead those beneath you. You're an exceptionally valuable man, Adam. And we put a lot of thought into....

Adam: Then you're clearly not thinking straight! If you truly understood me, then you'd know that coming here was a mistake. The White Fang is not an organization for hire. We're a force of revolution! 

Emerald and Mercury looked at each other while HK-47 observed them. He kept his Blaster Rifle ready. 

Cinder: I believe our plan will be beneficial for all parties involved. I have...an associate in Vale. He and I are working on a revolution of our own. But we can't do it without your forces. What we need....

Adam: What you need is to leave. You're asking my men to die for your cause. A human cause. That is not an idea I am willing to entertain. 

Adam then placed his hand on the hilt of his sword while HK-47 aimed his Blaster Rifle at he trio. 

HK-47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters are warming up, meatbags. 

Cinder: Very well. 

Cinder gave a bow as she along with Emerald and Mercury left Adam's tent. As they were walking away, HK-47 turned to Adam. 

HK-47: Query: Why did you let those meatbags go, Master? 

Adam gestured HK-47 to quiet down as the two exited the tent and watched the three leave. Soon enough, the two were approached by a black haired young woman wearing a bow. 

???: What was that about? 

Adam: Nothing, Blake. We need to finish preparing. The train will be here at dawn. 

Blake followed Adam and HK-47 in Adam's tent. In her time at the White Fang, she was uneasy about HK-47. His eagerness for violence and killing made Blake question HK-47's role in the White Fang. Despite this, she still followed Adam. 

Adam: If we strike at dawn, the security won't be able to mount a proper defense against us. 

HK-47: Agreement: Yes. Very efficient, Master. The meatbags on the train won't stand a chance

Blake remained silent as she listened to Adam's plans. She took note of HK-47's responses. After that, Blake turned to Adam.

Blake: Let me know when we're ready. I'll go rest. 

Blake then left the tent to rest. As she left the tent, HK-47 turned to Adam. 

HK-47: Observation: It seems that one might be trouble. I understand your relationship with this meatbag....

Adam: Blake. Her name is Blake. 

HK-47: Correction: Blake. It's become clear to me that Blake is not like you, Master. She does not have the willingness to kill whoever stands in the way. I'm afraid she's been corrupted by pacifism. 

Adam: Blake's devotion to our cause is not in question, HK. She may not understand our methods now, but she will one day.

HK-47: Statement: Very well, Master. I simply wished to make my observations known. It is in my experience through my many masters that they are often undone by those closest to them whether intentional or not. 

Adam: That will not happen. Blake is a good soldier. A loyal soldier. She hasn't failed me. She never has.

HK-47: Commentary: If you say so, Master. I will follow your commands as you give them. I am very much excited for this attack. This is going to be fun!

In that moment, the preparations were made. Adam would lead HK-47 and Blake on the raid against the cargo train. Little did Adam know that his entire operation would change forever.
