Now we're follow the story of the kid genius. The mechanic from the train. His robot arms were inspired by Doctor Octopus, a Spiderman villian.
Also, the full release of RWBY Grimm Eclipse is coming June 5th! I am really interested in the story, because I think Dr. Merlot has similar goals to one of my characters, and it might explore the Grimm more. I'm interested in finding out why Dr. Merlot would have these interests.
The Eclipse does things FOR SCIENCE! as opposed to Dr. Rifleman, who wants to protect humanity using science. I'm looking forward to finding out which of the two Merlot falls under. Or better yet, see a different character motivation that would lead to someone experimenting on Grimm.

Death and taxes
"Grimm Log 2-3: After analyzing areas known for high Grimm population, I discovered all of them either had some significant events that included a lot of death, or were overrun by the Grimm. I wonder why they deliberately are intent on creating chaos."

Rusty Steele scaled the side of a building using Steelemarch, his robotic leg pack. Steele observed the inside of the office to have been entered already. Evidence of a battle occuring involving a lot of gun usage could be seen all over the walls. However, there was no sign of any deaths, which means that the people inside are no longer present.
Rusty used Steelemarch's lasers to cut a hole into a window, and carefully lower it to the ground without drawing attention from anyone that could be inside the building. Rusty quietly moved through the building. He used his normal legs, as they made less noise. An Atlesian soldier lying under a table attempted to signal Rusty without being seen.
Rusty noticed his movements, and walked over to him. "What happened here?" Rusty asked.
"We were attacked. Someone shut down your security, and took one of our Bullheads." The wounded solider answered, speaking slowly to avoid straining himself.
"Shut down Gunmetal Industries security? How?" Rusty asked.
"I don't know. I think it was something with her semblance." The soldier replied. Rusty knew which semblance
"Can you contact anyone from your airship?" Rusty asked.
"Negative, something's blocking my scroll's communications." The soldier answered. Rusty lifted the table with a mechanical limb, freeing the soldier.
"The building has a communications jammer. Whoever took over security knew to keep it online." Rusty explained. He accessed a console, and used his semblance to reset the security.
"I'm getting an incoming transmission." The soldier said.
"I'll answer it. You should check to see if anyone else is still here." Rusty instructed. The soldier gave Rusty the scroll. Rusty opened it and responded to the transmission.
"Control to ground team? Does anyone copy?" An Atlesian commander asked.
"This is Rusty Steele. I found one of your men's scroll's. He's currently searching for the rest of your ground team." Rusty reported.
"What are you doing here?" The commander asked.
"I was sent by my father to investigate why he hadn't recieved a report on the deal he made with your team." Rusty explained.
"I understand that the people who attacked the ground team also hijacked their Bullhead." Rusty noted.
"We are aware. Two of them used it to board our ship." The commander reported.
"Do you know why?" Rusty asked.
"They attempted to access our files, but we are unaware of why they did so." The commander explained.
"Were you able to identify any of them?" Rusty asked.
"We were unable to capture either of the two attackers." The commander reported. This was a lie.

An Atlas General entered the cell with one prisoner hidden in shadow.
"So, are you here to interrogate me or make some speech about what prison I'm going to?" The prisoner asked.
"I'm more interested in finding out what files you stole." The General replied.
"Okay. Your going to make a speech while interrogating me. Got it." The prisoner replied. The General noticed the prisoner's strategy. Avoid answering his questions using sarcastic remarks.
"You're young." He responded.
"What's that supposed to me?" The prisoner asked, confused by the statement.
"Someone your age shouldn't be going to prison. If you answer my questions, I can arrange for you to be assigned to Atlas Academy." The General offered.
"Sounds like the kind of offer that Damascus Steele gives." The prisoner noted. The General was aware of who Damascus Steele was. A master swordsman and former owner of Gunmetal industries. He recruited criminals who acted as secret assassin's to eliminate his enemies.
"True. I have a mission for you, if you agree to my offer." The General admitted. The prisoner started thinking.
"Other than my freedom, what do I get in return?" The prisoner asked.
"A purpose. I know you haven't had that in a while." The General answered.
"My partner was looking for files on some guy named Viridian Viridis." The prisoner explained. The General heard this name before.
"Do you know why your partner is interested in him?" The General asked.
"No. I was on a need-to-know basis." The prisoner replied.
"That's unfortunate. But I can still use you for that mission." The General said.
"No one outside this prison cell can know of your mission." The General warned.
"Then it's a good thing I trust you more than my backstabbing friend." The prisoner said, as she walked out of the shadows. Electricity shook the General's white gloved hand.
