The camera opens up on Qrow Branwen being jerked awake by a nightmare. He glances at the cells containing Watts and Jacques.

Robyn: Yup.

Qrow glances at her.

Robyn: Not getting much sleep here either.

Qrow rises and puts a hand to his forehead.

Robyn: Sounds bad out there.

Qrow: Wait.

The sound of rumbling reaches their ears.

Qrow: That doesn't sound like-

Arthur glances nervously at a wall seconds before a fiery blast collides with it.

Qrow: Get down!

The blast shoots past them, leaving a pile of rubble and small fires in its wake. Robyn lowers the hand protecting her eyes to the sound of a crow screeching. She glances up, then lowers her head back down as more debris falls toward them.

Nora Valkyrie opens her eyes. Her vision is blurred. She blinks a few more times before opening to see her arm covered in burn scars and a bed.

Klein Sieben: No need to worry, miss. You and your friend are going to be just fine.

Klein glances down with friendly brown eyes after adjusting some medical tubes. Nora's vision turns to the sound of a door being opened. Blake Belladonna is opening a door for Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Whitley Schnee, who are carrying an unconscious Penny Polendina.

Blake: She lost consciousness. And she's... leaking.

Klein: Set her down, set her down.

Ruby, Weiss and Whitley set Penny on a bed next to Nora's. Whitley is shown grimacing at the green coolant that stains his clothes. Ruby and Weiss do the same.

Ruby: Can you help her?

Klein scans Penny with his scroll, which locates an injury at her waist. His eyes are red as he assesses the damage.

Klein: Even based on what you've told me, I hardly know what she is.

He coughs, and his eyes turn from red to brown.

Klein: Ahem, but, her basic anatomy seems similar enough. I can at least stitch up that wound.

Terry: Good.

He, Pyrrha, Silver, Watari and Team CRGG make their way inside.

Watari: It's a start.

Gole: Agreed.

A thundery crash sounds from outside. Everyone present glances in that direction. The power suddenly goes out.

Whitley: Oh, that's just rich.

Ruby takes out her ringing scroll. May Marigold's voice comes through.

May: Everyone okay back there? Just saw another bombing run light up the kingdom.

Ruby glances out the window.

Ruby: Looks like part of the city lost power. We're okay though.

May is shown piloting a Manta through a sky filled with clashing Grimm and Atlesian aircraft.

May: Sorry I couldn't stick around, but time's running out for everyone in the crater.

Ruby: No, we're sorry. Once we know what's wrong with Penny, we'll... we'll do something.
