Beacon Academy Later that Night:
James rubbed the bridge of his nose as he let out a tired sigh. The general was seated at his desk with a steaming cup of coffee in his free hand.
The general recalled the situation that Zero-Six-Nine briefed him on just a short while ago. Zero-Six-Nine told him everything that he knew from Ms. Rose's recollection of events. Her description of the unknown woman matched that of Zero-Three-Seven's.
For reasons unknown, Salem's agent infiltrated the CCT tower. The general glanced at his watch and saw that it was currently 0400. He was both exhausted and angry. The fact that Salem's pawn managed to slip under their noses was unsettling for him. It'd been over four hours since the incident occurred, and the general had yet to rest. He wouldn't rest; he couldn't rest, not until he made some good progress on this whole ordeal. He had his tech specialists analyze the computers within the CCT tower and none of them could find anything abnormal, but that mattered little to James.
He arranged for copies of the current software within the CCT tower to be stored on portable hard drives so that they could be sent back to Atlas for Doctor Haze to examine.
Furthermore, the general personally questioned his soldiers who had all been incapacitated by Salem's agent. None of them could provide any new information, though. James also examined the CCT tower's security footage, but what he found was unsettling. The footage of last night was erased completely without any trace.
It seems the witch has a few tricks up her sleeve.
James had yet to inform Ozpin of this ordeal. He didn't want to bring this up until he had a more complete picture of what was going on.
In the darkness of the bedroom, Terre stared up at the ceiling, unable to sleep. He glanced over and observed Penny "sleeping" soundly in her bed. Penny was powered down and connected to the wall outlet, recharging her systems. The synthetic girl was eerily still as she slept. Terre could hear Jai's steady breathing from beneath his bunk. Rahm was the only one not present as he was currently performing night watch duties.
Many things were going through the super soldier's mind. For one, he felt anger. He was angry at himself for allowing Ruby's life to be jeopardized. While it was true, he was occupied with the general, to Terre it didn't matter. Ruby's safety was his responsibility. If anything happened to her then it was on him.
Luck had been with them and against them tonight. On the one hand, Ruby wasn't hurt, but on the other hand, Salem's pawn managed to slip away.
This mission to Beacon had proved itself to be their most challenging one yet. Salem's pawn was a threat that could not be taken lightly. She'd managed to injure his brother and threatened the life of Ruby. Speaking of Ruby, the leader of team RWBY was the main thing on the super soldier's mind.
To say that he was confused would have been an understatement. Ruby had kissed him on the cheek, and he had no idea why.
While he wasn't well-versed in social interaction, he had learned a few things in Dr. Lockhart's classes. The act of kissing had many meanings. In some cultures, kissing was simply part of greeting another individual. Kissing also had both platonic and romantic connotations too.
Terre had no idea what to make of Ruby's actions.
He had brushed the confusing thoughts aside. In the end, it didn't matter what it meant. His job was to protect Ruby and he was not going to fail his mission.
Speaking of which, tonight's events had made him even more hesitant to entrust the safety of Ruby to others. Rahm, Jai, and Penny were in the same boat. When Terre had briefed them about the general's plan to offshore some of the burden of protecting Penny, Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha during the Vytal Tournament, his brothers and sister were far from pleased.
They understood the general's reasoning, but it didn't mean that they thought it was the correct course of action. In any case, it wasn't something that would be resolved this night. Guardian Zero-Six-Nine closed his eyes and focused on falling asleep.
The Next Morning:
Professor Ozpin was silent. The ancient man from another era of humanity processed the words he'd just heard very carefully. James had recounted the events that had happened last night according to Ms. Rose and Mr. Verte. Speaking of James, the man looked exhausted. Dark circles were under his eyes, evidence that he hadn't slept.
"Salem's made another move," said James with gravity in his voice, "we did nothing when she attacked Amber; are we going to do nothing now as well?"
Ozpin remained silent but Glynda spoke up.
"Biding our time for the right moment to strike is not the same as doing nothing James!" Glynda was in no mood for another one of James' rants.
"All we've done is bide our time over the years," James shot back. "We always sit and wait for Salem to strike, but we never take the fight to her. The Fall Maiden is clinging to life and now the witch's pawns have infiltrated Beacon Academy. We have to stop her."
Glynda moved to reply but an alert sound played, signifying that someone arrived on the elevator.
"Come in," said Ozpin, happy for the momentary relief from James' and Glynda's bickering.
A shy-looking Ruby Rose stepped out and into the room.
"Sorry it took so long," she said. "Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here." She paused before quickly explaining herself. "It wasn't me."
Ozpin smiled at her. "Thank you for coming, Ruby. How are you feeling?"
"Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't O-for-three."
Everyone stared at her silently.
"Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it," Ruby said with embarrassment.
Ironwood approached the young leader of team RWBY.
"Ruby, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you did last night is exactly what being a Huntress is all about. You recognized a threat, you took action, and you did the very best you could."
"Thank you, sir."
"Now," said Ozpin, "the general here has already informed us of the events that... transpired last night, but now that you've rested, we were wondering if you had anything to add."
"Was anyone else with her?" Glynda asked. "Did she look familiar to you at all?"
"I... I don't know. She was wearing a mask, and she never said anything to me. But I know she fought with glass. I don't think that was her Semblance, though. Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked."
Glynda hummed in thought.
"Save for the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought the night we met Ruby."
"Embedding Dust into clothing is an age-old technique. It could have been anyone," replied Ironwood.
"Wait," said Ruby, "you think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?"
Ozpin pondered her question for a moment.
"It's possible. But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together."
James glared at Ozpin. The woman was indeed the one pulling the strings that connected Torchwick and the White Fang. Zero-Three-Seven's encounter with her had proven it beyond all doubt.
"Actually, I... I think I remember her saying something about a hideout, or something, in the southeast. Just outside the Kingdom."
"Interesting," Ozpin said with a smile.
Glynda raised an eyebrow at the young girl's statement.
"I thought you said the intruder never—"
"Thank you for your cooperation, Ruby," Ozpin cut Glynda off. "Why don't you go and spend some time with your team? You have a big day ahead of you."
"Any time," replied Ruby.
Ruby turned to leave.
"And Miss Rose," said Ozpin, "please try and be ... discreet about this matter."
"Yes sir."
The three watched as Ruby left. They waited for a few minutes before they were certain she was out of earshot.
"Ozpin," said James, "we don't have any more time to waste. If what Ruby said was true, then we may have an opportunity to stop Salem's plans. We can send in a strike force to eliminate all hostiles and crush this plot before it can grow into something we can't contain."
Glynda growled in frustration. James' apology to her the previous night gave her a peek at a different side of him, but his proposed plan of action was consistent with the James she had come to know over the past several years.
"Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of military bravado!? You treat every situation like it's a contest of measuring di—!"
"Glynda!" Ozpin glared at her with disapproval.
"Well, he does," Glynda stated.
Ozpin sighed.
"She's right James. As much as I too would love to end this situation once and for all, we must remember that this may go beyond Vale. Beyond Beacon. And if this truly is part of some master plan for which we know not the final move, we mustn't be so bold. Nor can we risk the spread of panic."
Ironwood looked Ozpin in the eye and took a single step forward.
"I have served you faithfully for years... but if you mean to tell me that your plan is to hold the defenses and wait—!"
Ozpin stood up abruptly from his chair.
"IT IS NOT!"
Glynda and James were surprised by Ozpin's outburst.
"You're a general, James," said Ozpin, "so tell me, when you prepare to go to war, which do you send in first? The flag bearers, or the scouts?"
James couldn't argue there. Ozpin had a point, but the way he was going about it was all wrong. To say that James was disappointed would have been an understatement.
James was crushed.
He had hoped that this revelation would inspire Ozpin to take direct action against Salem but in the end it did nothing to sway Ozpin away from playing the waiting game. While it was saddening, it didn't matter anymore. James would simply continue to take matters into his own hands.
The four members of the Bad Batch were seated at a table, eating their breakfast. Penny was the only one who wasn't eating for obvious reasons. The four had just finished their morning workout and were the only ones in the dining hall at the moment.
The ringing of his scroll alerted Terre from his breakfast. The Guardian saw that he'd received an encrypted message from General Ironwood. Terre looked up towards his teammates and merely nodded.
Nothing needed to be said. They knew what was being communicated.
Without a word, the four stood up and made their way out of the dining hall.
Professor Ozpin took a sip from his steaming mug as he looked out his office window. The view from the tower gave him an unparalleled view of Beacon Academy. He'd spent the last few minutes rehearsing the speech he would soon give to the students and now he was taking a moment to process everything.
What had transpired last night was troubling indeed. Ms. Rose had been fortunate enough to avoid being injured and her date, Mr. Verte, had gotten her to safety and relayed what had happened to James.
The mention of Mr. Verte made Ozpin remember his initial reaction to meeting him and Mr. Gris and Mr. Tangerin. He'd seen their eyes and he swore he was crazy. He'd seen those same eyes in battle-hardened warriors, who had seen decades of combat, throughout thousands upon countless thousands of years. He himself had possessed those very eyes on many occasions during his innumerable lives.
He was convinced that he'd been seeing things at first, but Glynda's report on both Mr. Verte and Mr. Tangerin showed that there was more to them than met the eye. She'd described the two as having prodigious combat capabilities during their respective matches in class.
The recent events had piqued Ozpin's interest sufficiently. He ran extensive background checks on the members of team PGRT and found nothing out of the ordinary. Everything was there. Family and medical records, school transcripts, and more. There wasn't anything about them he couldn't find out, but despite having access to such a wealth of information Ozpin still knew so little about them.
Just who are you boys?
The headmaster retrieved his scroll and began to type in a few commands. He pulled up the list of available missions for first-year students as well as the list of all first-year students. Ozpin went about making a few modifications to the list. The ancient man smiled to himself once he was done.
The three Guardians and Penny were sorting through the information that General Ironwood sent them in their room.
The talks with Ozpin hadn't gone well. With Ozpin refusing to take a more direct approach against the threat, the general elected to proceed without his support.
The general had kept the information vague enough so that Penny could read through it as well. He made no mention of Salem or anything pertaining to the greater war against the witch.
The general also mentioned the useful information provided by Ruby about a potential hideout in the southeast outside the Kingdom.
The general had acknowledged that the information was a long shot, but it was the only lead they had at the moment. General Ironwood had given them the green light to investigate and do whatever was necessary to neutralize the threat if it was indeed there.
The four were scrambling to draw up potential plans of action on how to go about executing this mission in the little time they had before they had to report to the auditorium for Professor Ozpin's speech to the students.
Today's events would make things extra tricky for the Bad Batch. The first-year students were supposed to be shadowing licensed Huntsmen around the Kingdom and that meant that there existed a possibility for Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha to be let out of Unit 117's sight.
The general's orders to find this hideout only complicated things further. They couldn't be everywhere at once, and luckily the general had foreseen this. As Headmaster of Atlas Academy, the general had authorized the students of Atlas to attend missions with other students outside their teams as a means of letting team PGRT slip through the restraints. Had he only granted team PGRT this privilege, it would have only earned Ozpin's suspicion.
As it stood, the current plan was for Jai to join with team JNPR, Terre and Penny were to join up with team RWBY, and Rahm was to shadow an Atlas Specialist, who Ironwood ensured wouldn't ask any questions about Rahm leaving to handle the actual mission. Everything needed to align perfectly for this to work.
Ruby was wearing a large backpack as she entered the auditorium with the other students. She then set it down next to other students' luggage before rejoining her team, who were standing alongside team JNPR and team PGRT.
The boys and Penny noticed that Ruby's backpack was moving. Upon closer inspection, they saw a small dog poke its head out of the pack. Penny smiled warmly while the boys said nothing, instead focusing their attention back towards the stage. Professor Goodwitch stood center stage while Professor Ozpin and General Ironwood stood off to the side.
"Quiet! Quiet please," said Professor Goodwitch, "Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin."
Ozpin walked up to the podium and took a moment to examine the many students before him.
"Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for."
General Ironwood inwardly grimaced at the mention of those words. James glanced over and spotted Special Mission Unit 117 in the sea of students. The general wasn't deluded. He knew damn well that what he'd done had gone against everything the Great War was fought over. He'd taken children and turned them into weapons to be used against Salem. He knew full well of the severity of his sins. He'd done it all to protect humanity.
Ozpin continued.
"As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first-year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best."
Ozpin stepped away as the students all began to file out of the amphitheater.
"This is strange," said Penny, "I am not seeing any of us on the list."
Rahm looked at Penny quizzically. The four of them were huddled around a hologram screen that had postings for available missions.
"Are you positive?"
"I am quite sure Rahm. Though I am confused as to why this appears to be the case. I believe we should ask an instructor if there is perhaps a glitch in the system."
The four members of the Bad Batch were silent. Something was wrong. They'd come to follow their plan of action, but it seemed as though they weren't on the list.
"Ah, team PGRT. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
The four looked over and spotted Professor Ozpin approaching with his cane in one hand and a steaming mug in the other. Penny smiled and waved at the headmaster.
"Good afternoon Professor Ozpin."
"Good afternoon to you Ms. Polendina." Ozpin looked over at the three Guardians. "And good afternoon to you gentlemen as well. Are you ready for your mission?"
The four glanced at each other briefly, clearly confused by what Ozpin meant.
"I'm afraid we don't understand sir," said Rahm.
"I've taken the liberty of having you four placed under my supervision for this event."
The four members looked at each other in confusion. This turn of events had completely derailed their plans. Not only would they not be able to keep tabs on Ruby, Weiss, or Pyrrha, but Rahm wouldn't be able to go and investigate the potential hideout. The general was not going to be happy about this once he found out, assuming he didn't already know.
"If you do not mind me asking, what is the mission?" Penny asked with genuine curiosity.
"We will be conducting humanitarian relief for the next few days."
"That sounds lovely!" Penny jumped up and down in joy.
"Sir," said Rahm, "out of curiosity, why did you specifically want us to come with you?"
The headmaster shrugged.
"I feel as though I've interacted with you four far too little and I would like to rectify that mistake," the headmaster took a sip from his steaming mug.
The boys knew he was lying. There was more to his story than he was letting on. Had they earned his suspicion? They'd gone to great lengths to stay below his radar and now they needed to tread even more carefully.
"In any case," said Ozpin, "get your gear ready and be ready to meet me out on the landing platforms in an hour."
"Yes sir," they replied.
With a respectful nod, Ozpin turned and walked away, leaving the four members of the Bad Batch alone.
As they watched Ozpin disappear down the hall, the sound of familiar footsteps approaching from behind alerted the four.
Unit 117 kept their eyes focused forward as General Ironwood stepped up beside them.
"I take it Ozpin has made you aware of your new mission?" The general's voice was calm, but it was laced with a subtle amount of anger and frustration. The general had seen how Ozpin had altered the list.
"Yes sir," replied Jai who kept looking forward, not making eye contact with the general.
The general let out a tired sigh. Ozpin's actions had derailed the whole plan, and what was worse was that he couldn't do anything without drawing Ozpin's suspicions.
"There's nothing we can do without drawing unnecessary attention. You four will proceed as Ozpin has directed."
"What of Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha?" Asked Rahm.
"Team RWBY will be with Professor Oobleck. They'll be in Quadrant 5 clearing out Grimm. Team JNPR is set to leave tomorrow to shadow a Huntsman doubling as a sheriff in a nearby village. I'll send a Specialist to tail team JNPR discretely to keep an eye on Ms. Nikos. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about team RWBY. Ozpin was the one who sent them with Oobleck."
The thought of team RWBY being supervised by Professor Oobleck did not sit well with the Bad Batch and the general noticed it.
"I know this is a complete mess, but if it's any consolation Professor Oobleck is quite capable as a Huntsman. Ruby and Weiss will be fine."
The boys didn't like it, but there wasn't anything they could do. The mission parameters had changed, and they had to adapt.
"Good luck you four," the general didn't wait for their reply and turned and left, leaving them alone.
The three super soldiers and the synthetic girl went their own way to grab their gear and meet Professor Ozpin.
"Well this certainly throws a wrench in the whole plan," Rahm stated as he was seated on a bench with his legs extended and his hands behind his head. Their bags, filled with their gear and rations, were on the ground. "I mean talk about unfortunate circumstances."
"Don't remind me," Terre said flatly as his eyes scanned the area, observing the other students who were waiting to meet their assigned huntsmen.
"I'm not fond of the idea of entrusting their safety to anyone else," Jai said with his arms folded across his chest.
Out of the four, only Penny seemed to not mind the assigned mission. She was certainly in higher spirits.
"I understand the disappointment you all have with the turn of events, but please do not let it get to you."
That was certainly Penny. She was always the cheery optimist. She definitely balanced out the group's mood. The three super soldiers regarded her for a moment, pondering her words.
"Hey guys!"
They looked over and spotted Ruby waving at them. The rest of team RWBY as well as team JNPR and Sun and Neptune followed behind her. Rahm stood up to full height from his seat.
"Ruby!"
Penny ran forward and embraced Ruby in one of her bone-crushing hugs.
"It is always a pleasure to see you!"
"You…too…Penny," she said through painfilled gasps.
Penny quickly dropped Ruby once she saw she was hurting the poor girl.
"Sorry Ruby!"
Ruby was on the floor dusting herself off while she laughed.
"It's okay Penny."
She moved to get up but found a hand waiting for her to take, to help her up. She looked up and saw that it belonged to Terre. She smiled and took it; the Guardian's strength easily helped her off the floor.
"Thanks Terre," she said with a slight blush.
Terre merely nodded before he glanced at Penny and gave her a stern look. Penny looked down at the floor in embarrassment. At this point, he didn't know how many times they had told Penny to tone the hugs down. He sighed, knowing that it would probably be impossible to get Penny to ever tone the hugs down. It was part of who she was at this point.
"So what missions are you guys going on?" Nora asked.
Blake was the first to respond.
"Just outside the kingdom in the southeast. We'll be clearing out Grimm with Professor Oobleck," she didn't even look up from her book to see the reactions of JNPR and Sun and Neptune.
"Yup…saving the world with Professor Oobleck…wow that sounds worse when I say it out loud," said Ruby.
"You're going on a world-saving mission without us?! I'm hurt! And hungry!" Nora was being as dramatic as ever.
"You're the one who wanted to shadow a sheriff in a nearby town Nora," replied Ren.
"I'm now regretting it," she said with overly faked sadness, "we don't even leave until tomorrow!"
"Hey that's cool! You guys are doing what we're doing…sort of," said Sun. "That means you guys get to party with us tonight because tomorrow we're tagging along with the Vale police department."
"Yeah, we get to be junior detectives!" Neptune said as he and Sun flashed a set of law enforcement badges.
Jaune looked over at the three silent giants. He cleared his throat.
"So…what are you guys doing?" Jaune was looking at Jai.
"We've been selected to accompany Professor Ozpin on a humanitarian mission," replied Jai.
"Whoa!" Nora's reaction was as exaggerated and energetic as always. "How'd you guys land that?"
"He personally requested us. He felt that he needed to interact with our team more," replied Rahm.
"Hey look! Team CFVY's back!"
Their heads briefly shot over to the source of the voice before they turned their attention to team CFVY, its members disembarking the airship. The second-year team was being hounded by students who sought pointers for their first missions. Blake stepped forward as team CFVY approached.
"Velvet!" Blake called out, "are you okay?"
The rabbit faunus looked to be somewhat out of it, as though she wasn't present. The boys and Penny could easily tell that she was exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Huh? Oh, yeah…I'm fine. I had Yatsuhashi to look out for me," she gestured over to her giant teammate. The tall boy simply nodded respectfully at them.
To say that Yatsuhashi was tall would have been an understatement. The young man stood an inch taller than Terre. He could have easily blended in with Guardians in terms of height.
"Your mission was supposed to end a week ago," said Weiss. "What happened?"
"Nothing happened," she replied. "It was just ... there were just so many..." she looked up and noticed team RWBY's worried expressions. "Oh, but don't worry. You first-years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine."
"Right," Yang nodded.
"Come on Velvet," said Coco, "let's go."
Velvet nodded before she turned to face the first-year students once more.
"I have to go. Stay safe."
"Will do," replied Ruby.
Velvet and Coco gave a friendly wave to team PGRT. Penny waved back at them while the three super soldiers nodded respectfully.
Rahm looked over at the transports and spotted Professor Ozpin standing in front of an airship with his cane in hand, waiting patiently.
"Looks like Professor Ozpin is ready to go," Rahm turned his attention to the other students, "see you all when we get back."
"I look forward to it," replied Weiss as she toyed with her hair braid, "promise you'll stay safe Rahm."
"I promise Weiss."
The heiress's eyes were closed as she beamed a warm smile toward Guardian Zero-One-One.
"Goodbye friends!" Penny said with an energetic smile. "See you all soon!"
Yang and Nora couldn't help but laugh.
"You boys better keep an eye on her," said Nora.
"We always do," replied Terre. His words were the truth. They were entrusted with her safety, and they would ensure it even if it cost them their lives.
Jai walked over to where he left his bag and retrieved it. When he stood back up he found himself looking at a certain scarlet-haired Mistralian champion.
"Pyrrha," he nodded.
She smiled awkwardly as she held her arm. Jai cocked his head to the side, perplexed at her apparent discomfort.
"Is something wrong?"
"No," she replied, "I just…wanted to say…be careful out there. Keep each other safe."
Guardian Zero-Three-Seven nodded, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
"I will. I promise," his emotionless eyes pierced into her soul. "On that note, keep an eye on your team. I'm not concerned so much for Ren and Nora, but rather it's Jaune. He still needs work. But if anyone can keep them safe it's you."
Her pale skin grew a bit red.
"Thank you," she said with some confidence. "Don't forget that you still owe me a spar."
"I'll be sure to make good on that debt when I come back."
"I look forward to it!"
Jai didn't expect to find himself enveloped in the future Fall Maiden's embrace. He thought back to his socialization classes with Doctor Lockhart. She would have said that this was an appropriate moment to return the hug.
He did just that.
Nora and Yang looked on at the display with heart-filled eyes. Yang grabbed hold of Jaune.
"Doesn't it make your heart melt Jauney-boy?"
Jaune himself was blushing, not prepared for Yang to grab him and hold onto him.
"Uh…I guess?" All he could do was go along with what she was saying.
Ruby stood across from Terre, blushing as she did so. She couldn't even manage to look him in the eye. She was still embarrassed by her actions last night when she said goodnight to him. She rubbed her arm nervously, struggling to find the right words to say to him. She moved to speak but was interrupted.
"Ladies!"
They glanced over at one of the transports, spotting Dr. Oobleck waving at them.
"It's time to embark on our mission!" The energetic professor was getting impatient waiting on them.
Ruby looked back at Terre, thankful for Oobleck's interruption.
"Gotta go," she said with a playful smile, "see you later!"
She waved goodbye as she scurried away.
"Stay close to your team Ruby. Look out for each other."
"I will Terre. Thank you," she replied over her shoulder.
With their goodbyes said, they all split up toward their respective destinations.
Good old Ozpin throwing wrenches in plans haha. As you can see the rift between James and Ozpin is beginning to grow even wider. The boys and Penny will be in for a very insightful mission with Professor Ozpin. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the character interactions. Please let me know what you all think. See you next time!
