You're supposed to be holding a strategic meeting in the dinner room but everyone's just brooding

Yang: Okay... Ironwood wants Penny. Otherwise, Mantle is done for. So... How do we stop him?

Blake: Qrow and Robyn are still in his custody, and May said Atlas security drones are watching the crater. So... they're trapped too

Oscar: And Salem isn't going to stay gone for much longer

Ruby, slamming her fist on the table: So then it's impossible

Since when did you become James?

Emerald: See? If Miss Hero with all the answers doesn't have any answer, then we have ours

Weiss: Shut up!

Yang, getting up: Okay then why don't you just leave!

Oscar: Can we please just give each other a chance. Emerald's not with Salem anymore. And... Ozpin is back

...

Oscar: All of this doubt and worry and distrust it isn't getting us anywhere

Ruby: Then nothing has changed! We're in the exact same place we were yesterday! Arguing over what go do while the kingdom waits to die!

Yang goes to support her but she just leaves the room and Yang follows her

You look at the door

...

Oscar: No y/n you're not going

y/n: I--... Okay fine. But we don't have time for THAT. We only have what? An hour left?

Weiss: Actually it's--... Fifty-two minutes...

Oscar: Well... Do you have a plnn?

He seems hesitant when asking

Okay that's Ozpin trying to get informations out of me

"Well unless the Ace Ops and Winter have some sense beaten into them I don't think it's possible"

Blake: Maybe we could--

"Contact them? And risk James spying on our communications? No way, we can't take that risk"

I'm lying. It's obvious Pietro hid our communications because if not, half the atlasian army would already be here since Weiss sent Yang our exact coordinates

By the way, why didn't he sent someone here when he learned we used Jaques's access? That's weird

You suddenly hear the sound of something crashing through a window

You all run outside to see what happened

When you arrive, you see Penny walking and Ruby stopping her

Ruby: Penny please!

Penny: I-I must... Open the vault

She holds her head in pain

"I do not want... Aaah! Ruby! Stop me!"

Ruby grab her from behind as her eyes turn completely red

Penny: I must open the vault, and self-terminate

She activates her boosters and starts to fly away but Blake throws her slinger at her arm, keeping her in range

Ren do the same and Yang and Jaune help Blake as Oscar and Nora help Ren

They manage to bring her down with Weiss making a gravity glyph under her

You take out Gluttony and load
