Weiss sat in the back of the car with her sister, it wasn't the same car they had left in; lord and lady Schnee had decided that they were to arrive later, and their children were to arrive first. When Weiss had asked them where they would be arriving lord Schnee responded with, "You're temporary home, our first factory ever built that processes the mined Dust into a more commercially useable form."
It was equal part exiting and depressing that Weiss was going to the first Schnee Dust factory; exciting because as a child she always wanted to get a good look at the place that got Grandfather Schnee off his feet enough to stop the Great War, depressing because she was going to have to live in a place where the treatment of the Faunus was just shy of torture.
That's not how the factory used to be run; only when grandfather Schnee's son had taken over Schnee Dust did things go off the deep end. Lord Schnee as almost everyone called him had fought in the Great War from a very young age. One could say that Lord Schnee had posttraumatic stress disorder; that would be true if it hadn't been for the fact that Lord Schnee wasn't a very good kid.
He always seemed to get in trouble with the teachers, they would never send him off to the police however, mainly because he did the discrepancies so well that they had no evidence against him. A criminal at a very young age, Lord Schnee prided himself in being able to defend the company of Schnee Dust so well because he knew the enemy.
At many times no one would realize what Lord Schnee had done, he did the 'job' so well that no one knew what had really happened but him. That wouldn't do, a criminal mind like Lord Schnee needed someone to acknowledge what he had done in some way; it was a need that overrides even the need to commit the crime itself, acknowledgement was what Lord Schnee thrived on.
The car suddenly stopped and someone opened the door on Weiss's side a few moments later, it was Butler and he said, "Welcome Miss. Schnee, I'm glad to see you, how's you legs doing?"
"Perfectly fine, all healed and everything. Oh and my voice is fine as well." Weiss responded much to Butler's astonishment. He had not been expecting the Heiress back in such pristine condition; Butler had fully expected her to be quite and it crutches with maybe a wheelchair or something. But no there stood Weiss perfect posture and form as she somehow lazily walked to the other side of the car and let her sister out.
"Honestly thought, why do people have to do that? Child locks, we're all grown up you know…butler! Why can't we get rid of the damn child locks on the back seat car doors?" Winter asked.
"Why those are for when Weiss has children and she needs to drive then and her husband somewhere." Butler said this and it sounded rehearsed, Weiss could only imagine Lord Schnee drilling Butler on what to say when either her or her sister asked this question. "But I will either have them removed or remove them myself. Weiss will be going to school; the rebuilding project is nearing 3/4ths completion. In no time at all, you Winter will be able to apply to Beacon and you Weiss will be able to finish your last year."
Weiss chuckled and said, "Actually Butler I'll be finished up about half a year, and then Winter will be allowed application to enter Beacon. Everyone from last school year still needs to finish about half a year." "Are you excited about that?" Winter asks.
Pondering this Weiss and her sister follow Butler towards the first security gate on foot. "Why do we have to walk all the way there?" "It's so everyone isn't crammed inside a bullet proof vehicle, and besides there are vehicle plates just outside the fence that are rigged to explode when anyone drives over them." Butler said this cheerily, even though as Weiss saw it if anyone drove a vehicle up to the fence they would succeed in not only breaching defenses but also taking out a good portion of the guards patrolling that fence.
"It is worth mentioning however that the people guarding this place? Are Faunus so they'll know to get out of the way if a vehicle explodes the fence." Butler says.
"But wait since there are Faunus guarding this place, wouldn't they sabotage the security and let White Fang members inside?" Weiss asked.
"No Miss. Weiss the Faunus that work at the first Schnee Dust factory live here, basically saying that this is their home. And yes Schnee Dust does still have them produce a Dust quote but they are happy to oblige." Butler explains, "Lord Schnee despite his madness was kind enough to provide the Faunus with the perfect means to defend the factory and therefore their families with. A force field that surrounds the entire compound, thereby rendering any vehicle attempts useless."
"But it seems like they disguise it." Weiss says, "It makes sense though. You don't want other companies even other factories knowing about the super advanced tech used for defense at this factory."
Butler nodes his head and continues, "And that's not all, think about it; if such advance technology is being used to defend the factory…what kind of technology is being used inside the factory? I'll tell you one thing; the first factory ever built is the factory with the highest output and fastest processing time. Why? I don't know and even if I did I couldn't tell you, but Weiss someone will tell you just ask. Your are the heiress to Schnee Dust after all."
