After the opening, the camera zooms in on Beacon, passing a large and unnerving ship as it descends upon a landing pad. Two Bullheads fly by as the camera slowly lowers to show ant-like swarms of people on the paths around Beacon. The camera shifts to the top of a tower veiled behind clouds. Ozpin and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office.
"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." glynda said clearly annoyed
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man. But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." A chirping beep sounds repeatedly. Ozpin turns to see a hollow-message 'Access Requested' on his desk. "Come in."
The camera switches to a low perspective beyond Ozpin's desk and facing the doors as they slide open to reveal Ironwood as Ozpin approaches to greet him.

"Ozpin!" ironwood says
Ozpin stands at attention. "Hello, General."
"Please, drop the formalities." ironwood says. Both approach and shake hands as Glynda also approaches. "It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."
"Oh, James!" Glynda Gives a personable wave and then drops all pleasantries. "I'll be outside." She walks away.
"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." ironwood said
Ozpin turns to his desk... "So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?" 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 turns and offers the cup to Ironwood.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood produces 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." Ozpin walks around to his desk, kettle and a new mug in hand.
Ozpin 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."
"Well, 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
"Mr. Light..." ozpin said looking out his window "with the information he has given us........ But.. We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression.
Ironwood: But if what Qrow said is true...
"If what Qrow said is true, then that also means what Mr. Light said is true. Then we will handle it tactfully." Ozpin 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."
"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 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 continues on his way to the exit.
From what I've been told one of them has...." ironwood leaves "But..I hope they never have to." ozpin said to himself
