Many ships can be seen flying over Vale, Unnerving many of the residents. Ozpin and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office.

Glynda: Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels.

Ozpin: Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man. But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore. 

A chirping beep sounds repeatedly. Ozpin turns to see a hollow-message "Access Requested" on his desk.

Ozpin: Come in.

The camera switches to a low perspective beyond Ozpin's desk and facing the doors as they slide open to reveal Ironwood as Ozpin approaches to greet him.

Ironwood: Ozpin!

Ozpin stands to meet Ironwood.

Ozpin: Hello, General.

Ironwood: Please, drop the formalities. It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met.

Glynda: Oh, James!  

She states in mock happiness which fades away quickly as she turns from Ironwood to ozpin.

Glynda: I'll be outside. 

Ironwood: Well, she hasn't changed a bit.

As Ozpin speaks Glynda can be seen walking away.

Ozpin: So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival. 

Ironwood:  Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year. Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up.

Ozpin sits and pours himself some coffee.

Ozpin: I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned.

Ironwood: Well, concern is what brought them here.

Ozpin: I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult.

Ironwood: Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men.

Ozpin: We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression. 

Ironwood: But if what Qrow said is true...

Ozpin: If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent.

Ironwood: I'm just being cautious.

Ozpin: As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can.

Ironwood: Believe me, I am.  But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?

Ozpin: I hope they never have to.

Ironwood: And what about young Y/N?

Ozpin sighed and set down his mug another time.

Ozpin: That....is something that is unfortunately out of out control, What that boy has been trough over the years led to this.

Ironwood looked down.

Ironwood: Yes, I feel as though I am partly to blame as I knew what Jacques was doing and I never stood in.
