07x02 - A New Approach

[bunniefuu]

Keep dreaming bout a better world.

You keep wishing for some clarity. Animals.

It's going to save you from this gravity. You're holding up a.

You wake up in a world with John.

You're nice enough to.

You'll find. You're going to.

Please when you do. Turn to. And you

sure all hope is gone. When? The day you.

I want you to just trust.

Raul.

.

I say we leave our own devices for.

Where do you think they're taking us?

I'm going to go with jail.

I still can't believe that fishing pole

guy took us out like it was nothing.

Welcome to Atlas. Those were Ironwood's ace operatives.

You guys had a run in with the Esops?

Ironwood must really have a bone to pick with you.

They're not that big of a deal.

Not that big of a deal. The ace

offs are the elite of elite m*llitary

huntsmen and ironwood's personal att*ck dogs.

So they got you too, huh? I wouldn't

let myself get caught by them.

I'm here because I've been speaking out against Atlas's exploitation of mantle,

and General Ironwood is trying to silence me.

You threw a brick at her ship.

It's worth it if it gets people talking about our cause.

Our cause. Yes. The fight for better conditions in Mansell,

led by the charismatic, talented, lovely Robin Hill and her happy huntresses.

They were all top Atlas Academy graduates

who could have signed up for the m*llitary,

but Robin and the Huntresses chose to stay in mantel.

She's gunning for a seat on the Kingdom's council,

and when she gets it, she's going

to put an end to Ironwood's tyranny.

Happy Huntresses. Is that their real name.

Don't you think? Tyranny's a little dramatic.

Easy to say for a shiny heiress living comfortably up in Atlas.

Not anymore.

It's gorgeous up here. Don't let that fool you.

This isn't the police station. It's Atlas Academy.

I guess we will be seeing the general. For better or worse.

So what do we do? I don't know yet,

but we should be careful with what we say.

We'll follow your lead. Ruby.

I swear, if I have to sit through one more council meeting.

But yay! You're here!

Winter.

Anyone want to give us a hand with these?

You have s to take those off

before I start hurting you. Huh?

Sorry. Please let us help you. Forgive us.

Please come in.

It is so good to see all of you.

Our reception didn't really convey that.

I sincerely regret how you were treated by my team.

When a rogue airship entered our airspace, it raised some

red flags. We assumed the ship was stolen. Stolen?

Okay? Yeah, it was stolen.

You stole an Atlas airship? What were you thinking?

You might have been sh*t down. How unbelievably irresponsible.

I'm sorry I worried you. But we did what we had to do. I.

I suppose I understand. But I cannot

believe that you allowed this to happen, Crowe.

You try stopping these kids when they have

their minds set on something. Speaking of which.

We have some important information for you. That's confidential.

Oh, is it about the relics? Or perhaps

the Winter maiden? You told them. Mm.

Did you really think you were the only

one who got to work on a new plan after beacon?

With Ozpin gone, I needed my own

team of people I could trust.

So yes, I told them. The Aesop's two.

Which is why I'm so glad you're here.

With this. Until now, I believed it was

impossible to truly turn the tide against Salem.

Oz has pushed her back, has kept victory out of her claws.

But she will keep returning stronger and stronger.

Unless we destroy her.

But what about the Atlas relic? You

mean the staff of creation? It's safe inside the vault.

And the Winter maiden. She is secure and in stable condition.

Stable condition? What does.. That. Not exactly a spring chicken.

I know how this all looks. Recalling my m*llitary, the embargo.

I probably don't seem the most trustworthy right now.

Then why continue.. It? The people of mantle are hurting.

I needed to ensure Salem couldn't infiltrate Atlas.

And I wanted my m*llitary here protecting my people.

But it's not protecting them. It's making everyone hate you.

Oh, it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Just as you all have been entrusted

with the knowledge of Salem's existence.

I need you all to trust me. I have a plan.

Osbourne believed the best

way to fight Salem was to do so in secret.

Whether that was the right choice or not isn't for me to say,

but we find ourselves in a position of needing,

well, a new approach. And what do you suggest?

That's Amity Colosseum. Where the vital festival is held.

Indeed, when beacon fell and everyone on

remnant lost contact with one another,

I knew our current system was outdated.

Amity was built to bring the nations together.

And it will serve that purpose once again.

Isn't it great? We're not going to just replace Beacon Tower.

Building a new tower on top of Amity

Coliseum will re-establish global communications..

By launching the tower high into the atmosphere.

Our scientists believe we can create a sort

of satellite out of reach of the grim

and capable of maintaining global communications,

even if we were to lose another tower.

That is great, James. You don't need the entire m*llitary for this.

I will for the next part while

I finally tell the people about Salem.

Huh? So that's why you withdrew your

troops to handle the panic that would break out in Atlas? Yes.

Panic is inevitable. And panic brings grim.

But I believe we are ready. Once

Atlas has come to grips with fight ahead.

I'll use Amity Tower to spread the message to all of remnant.

But everything will fall apart. Grim will be everywhere.

You're right. But Atlas is willing and prepared to assist.

Trying to hide the truth in the

world will eventually k*ll us all.

I spent his whole life, many lives, keeping this secret.

I know, but since beacon, things have changed

without him here to guide us,

all I can do is use my best judgment.

What is it? Actually, us isn't completely gone.

Uh, Oscar, here is is the next Osbourne.

Oz. I'm so glad you're here. I didn't think you'd. Not quite.

He's kind of gone at the moment.

That's not normal. How did he? Don't know.

We were in a train crash. And ever since.

Well. Suddenly Oz wasn't there anymore.

It's the worst news yet. Did you

learn anything from him about the relics before?

He told us the lamp can answer three questions,

but all the questions were used up already.

Right? Right.

Osbourne told us that too. Once upon a time.

At least we have you, Oscar. You're safe here in Atlas.

Maybe together we can figure out how to bring Aspen back.

Thank you, sir. I mean general. Ironwood.

You're giving it back to me. After what happened with the Esops.

I don't want you to think I'm keeping anything from you.

Especially something as important as this.

For the time being, I think it's

safest with the people who brought it here.

Um. Thank you.

We must work together if we are to fight Salem and win.

Now if you're all on board.

Tell us how we can help. Good,

because getting the Amity Tower ready to launch won't be easy.

But first. I think we need to get

those weapons of yours up to our standards.

Remember, this is Atlas while assisting the m*llitary.

We will provide you with the best

equipment our scientists can devise. Really?

Yeah. So that was the second time I got banned.

Then there was the third time when. All right.

Cut the chatter.

I'd like to sincerely

apologize for the miscommunication down in mantle. We didn't intend so bad.

Honestly, if we had known who you were,

we'd be laughing over a hot meal right now.

And I understand.. You were just following orders.

I mean, you could have asked us some questions first.

Questions are for the week, but we're

all on the same team now. Not that I'm happy about it.

We just wanted to say we're sorry

and that we're looking forward to working

with you on our next mission.

You might be students, but you've been fighting

just as hard as we have, if not harder.

Exactly what I'm looking forward to. Seeing what you kids can do.

Not everything's a competition. Hair. Come on,

let me show you around campus.

Crow.

I meant it when I said it was good to see you again.

Uh, yeah. You too.

So that waste the cafeteria and that ways the training rooms.

Oh, and over there are the classrooms.

This all looks great, Penny. But where are we staying?

Remember, you're in Atlas now as the

most well funded school on remnant.

Every team at Atlas Academy gets their

own room. And if that wasn't enough.

So we're staying in the dorms.

It'll be just like beacon again.

Well, that may be the case for the rest of the world.

I think so. The kingdom of Amazon remains strong..

And it will remain.. Safe. That is my promise.

Failure for the last time, a singular

hideout makes us more susceptible to discovery.

What if we're seen? What if we're recognized? We stay mobile.

Walking around a city with a thousand eyes.

Wow. Cyber security has been stepped up in Atlas.

As usual, none of the code was updated in mantle.

That certainly.. Sounds useful.

It should be. I helped write that code after all.

Ah, well, I suppose we all have our.
