"So how is your mission going little lamb?"

"I've almost finished constructing my team. I'll take care of this Salem woman just make sure to keep your end of the bargain," the tiny atheist replied.

"I know you had a bad experience with the god you dubbed Being X, but most gods keep their word."

Tanya than stopped praying her boat would arrive in Vale's docks would be arriving shortly. Penny would be there to pick her up. She wondered if Penny was alright and had she finished the task she was assigned. Tanya examined the city from off the port side of the boat. She's read about Vale but never had the opportunity to see it. When Tanya got off the boat she saw Penny along with a girl with a red cloak. They hadn't noticed Tanya yet they were to busy talking to each other.

"So this sister of yours is she a robot with a soul too," Ruby asked.

Before Penny could reply Tanya pulled out a knife held it to Ruby's throat

"Penny, you told this girl classified information," Tanya said to Penny

"Wait, mom, I can explain," Penny said nervously

"what did I say about calling me mom in public"

"Right, sorry commander this is my friend Ruby Rose. The girl with the silver eyes I told you about," Penny explained.

Tanya than slowly put the knife away. She was still angry, but at least she's wasn't going to slit Ruby's throat which Penny considered progress. General Ironwood had told about the power those with silver eyes possess. She thought Ruby might make a good soldier one day. A perfect meat shield for Tanya They walked to the airship that'd take them to Beacon in silence. Ruby was afraid of saying something that would anger Tanya. Whiles Tanya was too tired from the boat ride to try any small talk. When they arrived at Beacon Tanya warned Ruby not to talk about classified Atlus secrets in public places. She then made her way to Ozpin's office. When Penny and Ruby were alone she finally started talking again.

"Weiss was right that kids crazy and why'd you call her mom," Ruby asked

"That's because she technically is my mom or at least the closest thing I have to one. I told you I have an artificial soul. She's the one who made my soul and when I became conscious she's the taught me everything I know. I'm Technically only 3 years old"

Penny stared at Ruby trying to gauge the reaction to the information she told her. Ruby was her first friend and she didn't want to lose her.

"How'd she make your soul and if she's your mom why do you call her sister?"

"I'll tell you information I can friend Ruby that isn't classified, but in exchange, I'd like to learn more about" Penny Replied

The two girls talked for many hours asking whatever question popped into their heads. Want to understand one another better meanwhile in Ozpin's Office he was talking to Students.

Appointment #3 Yang

"So their's this friend of mine girl a crush on her friend"

"You have a crush on Blake, got it," Ozpin replied. Then took a drink of his coffee

The headmaster was surprised Yang was being so coy about it. She's usually so confident and assertive. "This is the first time you made an appointment to speak with me did you come seeking romantic advice?"

"Kinda of; its just Blake and I are teammates and I'm pretty sure she's dating Sun. I don't think it's official yet but I'm nervous. I've never asked someone out before."

"Wait, you really never done that," Ozpin said in shock.

"Well, the thing is people have always asked me out. I've never had to be the one to ask"

"You're overthinking it. You've always been a person of action. Challenging things bigger than you and saying I'm Yang let's fight without thinking things through. So stop thinking and just go for it"

"You may have a point. I'll consider it. Thanks, Professor" Yang than got to leave but before she did Ozpin said, "Rember my door is always open to you."

Appointment #4 Tanya

"So it's pleasure to meet you"

"Thanks, but please address me as Degurechaff or Argent. That's a nickname some people have for me" the young girl replied. Normally she would hesitate to say something like that to someone she'd consider a superior. However, she heard that thing were less formal in Vale than in Atlus and even if she were to get on Ozpin's bad side it shouldn't affect her position in the military. It made her uncomfortable being addressed as Lieutenant Wiess daughter considering in their previous she was his boss.

"Alright, Argent it is. I've been told by James you don't like it when people beat around the bush so I'll get straight to the point. I'll approve of you taking a couple of my students to suppress the White Fang activity in Vale you just need to answer a few questions I have honestly"

"I'll be as Candid as possible?" Tanya answered Ironwood had told Tanya Ozpin was a smart man she was curious what type of questions he'd ask.

"Do you prefer tea or coffee?"

"What?"

"Sorry did you not hear me correctly. I'll repeat myself you prefer tea or coffee."

"I heard you but what does this have to do with anything. Shouldn't you be asking about my effectiveness to lead a team? My skill set, where I'm getting my information from." Tanya was confused but more importantly, annoyed. To think Ironwood called this man the second most brilliant person he's ever met. When she saw him again they would need to have a serious discussion about what he considers intelligent. "Why are you…"

"It's rude to answer a question with a question. I already know that you're capable of leading a team. That why'll most of the missions you've been on have been solo they few team missions you've been on no has died or even been seriously injured. What I want to know now is do you like Coffee or Tea" the headmaster exclaimed

"Coffee it's my personal belief you can't fully trust someone who drinks tea."

"Interesting, how old are you?"

"14"

Ozpin than folded his arms and asked, "Why is the pocket watch around your neck showing trace amounts of magic."

"It's not a pocket watch it's a Computation Jewel" the small soldier immediately stopped talking as she realized she messed up. She let her guard down and now she'd have to explain everything. It took about an hour and stayed as vague as possible to not give too much information away. Knowledge was power after all.

"So you made a deal with the Gods after killing the God you called Being X. That if you could deal with Salem that they'd started using your ideas to cultivate worship in humans, and the reason you can't produce aura is that your soul was damaged in a fight. Well, this has all been fascinating." Ozpin was essentially recapping the important bits of information the commander told him. "I Just have one last question. When you fly around and on some missions why and how do you take the appearance of a Nevermore human hybrid?"

"I use illusion magic to make the disguise. As for why theirs's a power vacuum now that being X is dead. The Multiverse need a new being X and intend for it to be me. As a God-like entity, I can make sure those other self-proclaimed Gods keep their end of the bargain. To do that though I need people to start worshipping me."

Appointment #7 Coco

"Hello, Coco how are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine just a bit disappointed. My favorite clothing store still hasn't been fixed yet," Coco replied

" D'you ever wonder why we're here?"

"It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some... cosmic coincidence? Or is there really a God, watching everything, you know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night."

"What I meant is why are we talking in my office when we can do it outside and try to find you a better clothing store to go to," Ozpin replied in shock never knowing his student might be going through an existential crisis.

"Oh. Uhhhhh. Yeah," Coco said awkwardly

"And what was all that stuff about God?"

"Uhhhhh. Hm? Nothing."

"If it makes you feel better I've talked to God. I'm pretty he's winging it"
