Daytime rolls around as Weiss and Aaron prepare to board the Atlas ship, doubt weighing on his shoulders.

"It'll be alright Aaron, we'll get through it." Weiss reassured him as Aaron sighs.

"I don't know if the Unit is here." He muttered.

Cordovin walked over to the two as a grin appeared on her face.

"Ah, it pleases me greatly that you and Manhattan decided to come. It devastated us that you chose Beacon Academy. Knowing that you're returning to Atlas warms my old heart." She spoke as Aaron rolled his eyes.

"Better for your paycheck maybe." He muttered.

Two guards arrived, trying to carry their bags before Aaron grabbed the handle.

"I got it." He said as one guard salutes.

"Forgive us Manhattan!" He spoke as Aaron cringed lightly.

"Sure." Aaron muttered as they approached their ship.

"Just like we practiced." Saphron said.

Adrian nods at his mother. The baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cries" as he fusses in his mother's arms.

"Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!" Saphron called out.

"A crying child?" The one guard spoke.

"We must console it!" The second one said.


The two manage to enter the plane as Aaron placed the suitcase down.

"We're good to go." Aaron said in his earpiece.

~Ruby~

Elsewhere, JNPR, Qrow, Summer, Fawna, and Peter await by the cliffside.

"Alright, we'll all watch our scrolls. The second Weiss is out of range of the comm tower, that'll mean she's out of range of the radar too." Ruby affirms.

"And that's when Blake and Terry step in. We're almost at the drop off." Yang replies.

"Hope everything goes well with them." Ruby said.

~Terry~

Terry was sandwiched between Blake and Yang as they sped towards the tower.

"I am super uncomfortable." He muttered to Yang.

"It was your choice." Yang retorted.

Blake held her Scroll as Terra went over the plan.

"Okay, remember: one, the radar box is seperate from the rest of the communications equipment. So if you disconnect it properly, it won't take out comms for the rest of the city. Two, this conversation never happened." Terra said.

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've disabled Atlas security." Blake jokes as Terra stares back with an unamused look.

"Never. Happened." Terra snapped before the connection ended.

Yang arrives at the drop off point. Blake steps off the bike and proceeds forward.

"You sure Terry or me shouldn't come with?" Yang asks.

"More intruders means we're more likely to be seen. Besides, stealth isn't exactly your, um..."
