No Compromise

The rumours told them of another work camp along the southern border of Vacuo. A new Dust deposit had been found, and SDC was suspiciously silent about who was providing the labour.

Adam knew.

So when his family repeated their heist- burning down the camp, setting fire to warehouses, evacuating the enslaved Faunus within- he wasn't expecting the Faunus to protest, saying they didn't have homes, they couldn't survive out there alone…

He left them. Vacuo only allowed the strongest to live. And, the SDC had left an airship docked outside the camp. It was their ticket to the White Fang. Adam just knew it.
