As HK-47 made his way to Vale, he immediately began searching the city for traces of Blake. It didn't take long for the Assassin Droid to pick up a trail that led to Beacon. In the dead of night, he made his way to Beacon Academy. 

HK-47: Observation: The meatbag must be hiding here. 

HK-47 then surveyed the academy for any possible points of entry. He soon found one through the Beacon Tower. Hk-47 climbed up to the top of the tower and climbed into the tower. He quickly noticed the complex and intricate clockwork mechanism of many interlocking cogs and gears.

HK-47: Observation: Such an intricate system! Such impressive technological mechanisms for meatbags. 

HK-47 then exited the tower and into Headmaster Ozpin's office. After which, he exited the office and began navigating through the halls of Beacon Academy. He took care to not make his presence known as he didn't want to alert anyone and possibly scare his target away. He soon made his way to the dorms. As he walks the corridors, he hears a conversation from one of the doors. He immediately recognizes Blake's voice. He then eavesdrops on the conversation. 

Yang: Don't worry about it, Blake! We'll kick butt tomorrow!

Blake: We'll see. Goodnight. 

As Blake and Yang fell asleep, HK-47 used his heartbeat scanners to observe their heartbeats. HK-47 waited for close to an hour before he went in. In the room was Blake as well as her teammates in Team RWBY. They had no idea that in the room with them was a deadly Assassin Droid. HK-47 watched as Blake was asleep on the top bunk of a makeshift bunk bed. There was many things HK-47 could do. He could smother Blake to death or snap her neck and leave before anyone found out. He could use his Blaster Rifle to kill them and shoot his way out of Beacon. He could leave a thermal detonator in the dorm room and blow up the room. The possibilities of slaughter was limitless. As HK-47 looked upon the sleeping Blake, he then remembered his orders from Adam. The only thing keeping him from outright killing her was Adam's specific orders to simply find her. 

HK-47: Statement: Another time then, meatbag. 

HK-47 then exited Beacon Academy without being detected. As he left the room, Blake woke up and looked around the room. 

Blake: What the....

Blake then saw the door to the dorm wide open. Alarms began ringing in her head as she got up from bed and checked outside the dorm. She looked around the hallways frantically and saw nothing. Blake's heart raced as she wondered about what had happened. 

Blake: Maybe....maybe it was just my imagination....

Blake then returned to her dorm and fell back asleep. Meanwhile, HK-47 made the long journey back to the White Fang camp. As he met with Adam Taurus, HK-47 informs him of his success. 

HK-47: Statement: The meatbag targets are now dead. They won't be bothering the White Fang anymore. 

Adam: Good. But I'm afraid we've run into....complications. The woman from before returned and coerced the White Fang into her service. 

HK-47: Request: Let me hunt down those insufferable meatbags. I'll be happy to deliver you their heads.

Adam: No. This woman is more powerful than I anticipated. She managed to take out some of my best men without much effort. 

HK-47: Observation: While your skill is not in question, the skill of your underlings is woefully inferior. If I were there when those meatbags returned, they would most certainly be dead meatbags. 

Adam took note of HK-47's response. While he believed in the skills of his men, he knew that there was some merit to HK-47's words. 

Adam: We'll deal with them when the time comes. For now, we'll play along in their game. 

HK-47: Commentary: You're going to trust those meatbags, master? Very dicey decision.

Adam: I don't trust them in the slightest. I know they see us only as pawns in their game. I will not be discarded like trash for a human cause. But perhaps there might be an opportunity for us to advance the cause of the White Fang. But we'll deal with that later. What of your other mission?

HK-47: Answer: I managed to track the meatbag Blake Belladonna to Beacon Academy. It seems she's posing as a student. 

HK-47 then plays the holographic footage from HK-47's memory banks of his infiltration of Beacon Academy. He then fast forwards to where he watched Blake sleep. Adam's full attention was on the footage. 

Adam: Did she see you?

HK-47: Answer: Of course not, master. I took great care to avoid detection. I managed to sneak into the academy without much effort. I could've killed that one in a plethora of ways, master. But I left her alive as you instructed, master.

Adam was pleased with this news HK-47 brought him. Despite being forced to work with Cinder Fall, Adam would find an opportunity for both himself and the White Fang.

Adam: The White Fang will be conducting an operation in Vale. It seems to be the preparation of some kind of invasion. You will need with our....collaborators. 

HK-47: Statement: Very well, master. Against my better judgement, I will listen to these insufferable meatbags. 

Adam: I will arrive in Vale in due time. If you see Blake, do not kill her. 

With that, HK-47 left the camp for the coordinates given to him by Adam. Once there, HK-47 would serve Adam's interest while he prepared the White Fang for invasion.
