07x01 - The Greatest Kingdom

[bunniefuu]

I.

Manta .. Welcome home.

Please continue your approach to Atlas docking bay.

Omega . A security team will meet you there. Over.

I don't understand what's happening here. I don't..

Know, but we are here. We got the lamp to Atlas,

so I guess we'd land and get some answers. I'm not so sure.

I've never seen her forces deployed so aggressively before.

If we land in a stolen ship,

there's no way the security team will let us anywhere near Ironwood.

They might even take me back to my father.

So. Winter. Put some distance between us and the fleet.

You don't have to tell me twice.

I cannot stress how appreciation enough. Many

have described these as uncertain times,

and while that may be the case for the rest of the world.

I can tell you what is certain.

The Kingdom of Atlas will remain strong

and it will remain safe. That is my promise.

General Ironwood. He looks tired. James. What have you been doing?

This isn't right. None of this is right.

We've noticed the detour in your route.

You are to make your way to docking

Bay Omega immediately. Do you copy? Over.

We're kind of running out of time here.

Kids, we need to ditch the ship.

Agreed. Get lost in Manila and buy yourself some time.

I'm telling you. My sister can take us to Ironwood. Why is.

A reminder, huh? Failure to cooperate

with Atlas m*llitary personnel is a punishable

offense. If your sector. Winter lockdown.

Oh, offense wise, I'm not sure that's a good idea anymore.

There's obviously something very wrong. If we

can just talk to her, then.

Look, I'm not even sure we should be talking

to Ironwood until we know exactly what's going on with mantle.

But everyone calm down, huh? I know

someone who can help with both.

Mantle five one. You are to make your. Geez lady take a hint.

You like it over there? Let's go.

Vision. The person that.

Come on now. Hurry! It shouldn't be much of a walk.

This. This many soldiers. Normal? No. At least

I didn't think so. Huh?

Ooh! Maybe we should pick up the pace.

You have to remember, the kingdom had just lost the Great w*r.

The people of mantel needed a sign of a brighter future.

And that sign was Atlas. After all,

a home in the clouds is about as bright as it gets.

In accordance with this guideline, we are here for your.

Unless you're the one having to look up at it.

This whole city, it just seems awful. Yeah.

You don't like it here? There's plenty

of space out in the tundra.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. Alice is a grass

kingdom in the world. All right.

Hey, we can't cause a scene. The embargo.

The embargo has got us in a rough patch,

but it'll blow over. You'll see.

We try and help the other kingdoms, and this is what happens.

I say a lot of crap.

I apologize, I didn't mean to insult you.

Stupid forest like you wouldn't understand.

It was worth it.

Hey, wait. You're. That was. Wow. We are

here for your safety. Thank you for your cooperation.

And no more heavy lifting here.

Ah, it's good to see you again, old friend.

Ah, yes. Yes. Have we met? Well,

this is off to a fantastic start.

Cybernetic optical implants. You adjust them every ten years or so.

Maria? Yes, with a cybernetic optical implant.

I adjust them every ten years or so.

Oh, wow. Has it been that long already?

Oh, I know, I age like a fine wine.

Would have been here sooner if I hadn't run into these jokers.

At the time, I thought they might

need my guidance while fighting a little

sphinx. Oh. Did they? No, no,

they had much more complicated issues.

And this is.. So impatient,

I didn't think I'd need to introduce

one of Atlas's finest minds.. Working in a place like this.

He likes to keep a low profile.

Something I've come to realise none of you know anything about.

You can call me Pietro. Finest heart too.

This pharmacy is just where he volunteers

when he's not building the future of Atlas

alongside Ironwood. Up in the clouds.

Oh, it's stuffy up there. Down here.

I get to help the locals and have a little fun.

I'm currently working on shoes that make you dance.

You want to try them on? Yes. Before we get to that, we were

wondering if you could help us.

We came to Atlas hoping to talk with General Ironwood.

But what exactly has been happening here?

The fall of beacon took a toll

on all of us. James was no different.

I couldn't tell you exactly what it was

he saw there, but it changed him. He's.

He's scared. Paranoid would be the more appropriate term.

You have to understand, it wasn't just the Grimm.

Someone completely dismantled Atlas security code, made it their plaything,

and made us look like traitors to

some and buffoons to everyone else.

Whoever managed to do that is either

a genius or one of our own.

I fear the answer may be both. And so does the general.

Maybe Atlas isn't as safe as we thought.

After we came all this way, we can't just leave. Can we?

How does the council feel about all of this? Or winter? Schnee.

Do you know anything about her?

Well, the council's so scared they'll agree to whatever he wants, though.

Some representatives from Mandalore. Wait, you're. You're. Why, Schnee.

Wait. What was it that you were trying

to say about mantle? You painted it.

What? Is everything okay? Your team. Ruby.

You know us. Oh my girl, I do.

I most certainly do. And I feel

like such a dunce for not recognizing you sooner.

My daughter's told me so much about you. Your daughter.

Trouble? Wait.

I guess the city

defenses aren't doing much. Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

Well, we didn't.. Come this far to fail.. Now.

Hey.

Huh?

Darling, why don't you say hello to your friends? Ha ha ha.

Sal, huh?

Huh? Hey!

Oh.

It is such a pleasure to see you all again.

Penny, I. I thought you d*ed.

I guess in a manner of speaking. She did. But we were able to

recover her core from Amity Arena.

Wanted. It made its way back to Atlas.

It took me some time, but I'm as good as..

New, better even. And now I'm the official protector of the city.

That's my girl. We're not going to let

a little ripping to shreds stop us, are we? No, sir.

This is strangely wholesome. Sounds like Penny to me.

We have so many things to catch up about, I cannot wait.

It seems we will have to wait.

Let's talk more later. I can't wait

to hear about all your adventures.

I can't tell if I completely understand

what's going on or have like a million questions.

And thankfully I have about a thousand answers.

But let's get out of this weather first.

I have absolutely no idea who that

child was. Is she important somehow?

That was unexpected. Never a dull moment, but..

I wouldn't say unwelcome. I was honestly

expecting things to go a lot rougher.

Huh? Huh?

Good work team. Hey, what's going on?

Hey, pal. I'm a licensed huntsman. Just help save everyone.

Oh.

Let's get them loaded into the next transport, please.

We were just trying to help. What is the meaning of this?

What are they even doing down here in Mt..

Ops. Doctor, good to see you. Well,

we heard a report of an unauthorized ship making an unauthorized landing,

followed by an unauthorized use of weapons by Non-licensed huntsmen.

If we could just talk this out.

They'll be able to talk this out

once they get up to Atlas. Let's move out.

Now this. This is much closer to what I was expecting.

Keep dreaming bout a better world. You keep wishing for some clarity.

Always hoping. Know it's. From gravity. You're holding up a.

Wake up in a world which.

I son to be.

You'll find.

When you don't know.

Your hope is gone when the.

Again. The dark woodiel.
