At Beacon, a large and unnerving ship descends upon a landing pad. Two Bullheads fly by while Ozpin and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office.

"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." Glynda said

"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." Ozpin said, "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." he said chirping beep sounds repeatedly. Ozpin turns to see a hollow message Access Requested on his desk "Come in." he said then James Ironwood enters the office

"Ozpin!" Ironwood said cordially

"Hello, General." Ozpin said standing at attention.

"Please, drop the formalities." Ironwood said as he and Ozpin approached and shake hands as Glynda also approaches. "It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met." he said

"Oh, James!" Glynda said giving a personable wave and then dropping all pleasantries "I'll be outside." she said then walks away.

"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." Ironwood said as Ozpin turns to his desk

"So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?" Ozpin asked as he picks up a mug and a kettle, pouring as he speaks "Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." he said as he turns and offers the cup to Ironwood

"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood said then hold out a canteen from his inside coat pocket and pours its contents into his mug. "Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." he said as Ozpin walks around to his desk, kettle and a new mug in hand, and sits and pours himself some coffee.

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

"Well, the concern is what brought them here." Ironwood said

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

"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men." Ironwood said as Ozpin takes a drink and sets down his mug

"We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin said as Ironwood set his mug down

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

"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully." Ozpin said as he emphasizes this as he holds up an index finger "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." he said

"I'm just being cautious." Ironwood said

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

"Believe me, I am." Ironwood said as he turns and walks away. He stops near the door and looks back at Ozpin. "But ask yourself this Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" he asked as he continues on his way to the exit.
