A small Manta makes its way toward Atlas through a lightly Grimm-infested sky. Some of the ship's occupants, Team JNPR are visible and look uneasy. Just outside Atlas Academy, Vine, Harriet, and Elm look on as Ironwood readies a large handheld cannon, awaiting Penny's arrival.

Ironwood: Be ready for anything. We don't know what state Penny is in.

Harriet: If any of those brats have the nerve to come with her, we put them down immediately. The General gave his terms. No more games.

Vine sighs, while Elm looks uneasy.

Harriet: Is there a problem?

Vine: Just... retracing the steps that led us here.

Ironwood's Scroll beeps with a security alert.

Harriet: What is it, sir?

Ironwood: Qrow and Robyn. They're in the Academy hangar.

Vine: Trying to stop the payload?

Ironwood: Or just looking for a way out.

Harriet: Not going to happen. I've been waiting to take my shot at those two.

With a spread of her arms, she activates her Fast Knuckles.

Harriet: Let's go, Ace Ops.

Elm: But...someone needs to stay here with the General.

Winter: I'll stay.

Winter enters from offscreen, coming to a stop beside Ironwood.

Winter: We lose the payload, we lose our leverage.

Ironwood: She's right. Contain it. Now.

Vine, Harriet, and Elm leave to deal with the fugitives. Winter's expression softens.

Winter: Sir, this course of action...

Ironwood: I hope you're not going to try to talk me out of it.

Winter turns to look Ironwood in the eye, her demeanor shifting to a resolute one.
