View smiled as he put the next tape in, as he flew back to the middle of the room

View: now, we're taking a step back, do you all remember the one before the last?

A few of the audience members responded with a "yes" while the rest either nodded or weren't paying attention.

The scene opens up on a soldiers corpse, and as the camera pans away it shows more corpses. Some red, some blue, some neither. They're weapons and vehicles laid around, destroyed and blood ridden. One soldier walked up to one of the fallen and crouched down next to it. The camera goes behind him to show what looked like an entire army searching throughout this destroyed base. 

Ruby gasped at the scene

Ruby: Oh my god! There's so many!

Yang sighed and the scene

Yang: that escalated quickly.

A disembodied voice begins to speak

To the director of project freelancer from the oversight committee chairman.
Dear director

Ironwood: We thank you in advance for your openness in response to our committees request for more information

The scene cuts away to a few of the new soldiers finding the only survivor of the massacres, as the voice begins speaking again.

Ironwood: we were, disappointed, that your recovery force reported a complete loss at outpost 17-b

Ozpins eyes narrowed

Ozpin: they lied, whoever this director is, he's hidding something.

Ironwood nodded

Ironwood: a normal recovery force is nowhere near that large, a platoon at most. Whatever did this, the director really wants to cover it up.

Ironwood: we had hoped that there would be at least one soldier left to shed light on the situation.

The camera pans to the red survivor being escorted through a few hallways, until he ends up in a room with a giant screen at the front.

ironwood: we understand that your operating has conducted under very little scrutiny over the last few years, and we do not want to end that streak. We hope this can be a peaceful and beneficial operation for both partys.

sincerely, Ironwood.

Pyyhra's eyes narrowed

Pyyrha: Thats an interrogation room isn't it? what are they planning to do with that soldier?

Roman chuckled

Roman: probably get whatever info he has, the dispose of him.

Mercury rolled his eyes

Mercury: really Roman? Oh please enlighten me on how you know this?

roman shrugged

Roman: Just a guess.

the screen lit up as Goodwitch's face appeared on it. she looked at the shaken soldier

Goodwitch: You are private Walter am I correct?

The red soldier, now identified as Walter, stood at attention.

Walter: Yes Ma'am!

Goodwitch sighed

Goodwitch: Please drop the formalities with me Walter, you are free to feel as conferable as you desire.

Walter: yes Ma- Yes.

Goodwitch: Am I working with this director?

View flew over

View: Yes, your his consular.

Goodwitch looked apold by this, but said nothing.

Goodwitch: Now, Walter, can you please tell me what happened at your base?

Walter nodded and began his tale

Walter: well it all started when that ship crashed

Goodwitch brought up a hologram of a pelican

Goodwitch: is this the ship that you speak of?

Weiss: they know way too much about everything that happened in this canyon to not know what happened. They know something and they're not telling this soldier about it.

Blake rolled her eyes

Blake: it was obvious that they were hiding something when they lied to ironwood, but now they are being blatantly obvious about it. It's weird that Walter cant see it.

weiss nodded

Weiss: well Grief can certainly cloud peoples judgement.

Walter: Yeah, thats the one.

Goodwitch nodded in satisfaction and contiuned

Goodwitch: and can you describe what was in the ship?

walter shook his head

Walter: No, the blues got to it first. They held us off as they cleared it, when we got to it, it just looked like a normal ship. The tech guy said some things were broken inside it, but he didnt sound worried about it.

Ruby: wait, reds and blues. is this the same canyon from before with Jaune, Ren, neptune, and the others?

Yang shook her head

Yang: It couldn't be, the bases were much smaller before.

View: well she is partially correct. They are reds and blues, just different ones.

Walter continued his tale

Walter: then, nothing. No noise, no patrols, no radio, the blues went silent. We went over there to see what happened, and they were all dead, the blues had killed each other.

Goodwitch on the screen didn't seem fazed, and let the red continue.

Walter; we looked back on the security tapes, the blues blocked each other in. Broke there radio tower, and tore the radios out of there helmets. We couldn't figure out why they would do that, The CO said they were tying to build some thing. But I saw the stuff, no way, they were trying to break it.

Tai: was it a mutiny?

Raven scoffed

Raven: if it was, it was a failed one.

View: it was not a mutiny, it was something far more sinister. Continue watching, all will be explained, if it's not I will explain it.

Goodwitch: I see, was there anything left in the base, from the ship?

Walter nodded

Walter: there was some white helmet, and some guy in black armor who wasent moving. He kinda looked like him

Walter pointed behind him to a man in silver armor with yellow should pieces. The man in silver looked over at the red, then back at the screen.

Goodwitch: ignore hi-

Walter interrupted her

Walter: but whatever was in there, must of been what started the infection.

Opzin: infection?

Nora gasped

Nora: oh no! It's zombies!

Ren sighed

Ren: nora, I don't think it's Zombies.

Goodwitch: your men got, sick?

Walter: Well, no. We'd catch guys going into places there not supposed to, or doing things the CO said not to. Like trying to bring the radio tower back online when we were told not to. The craziest thing is, a guy would act up and we would throw him in a cell. Then he'd Be fine, and another guy would act up. It was like a cycle!

Neptune: what the hell, this Dosent sound like an infection.

View: that's because it's not

The audience turns to look at the floating ball

View: What they are experiencing is an AI take over. More specifically, the Omega AI. Omega is a fragment of the alpha, the original AI, which the director from before illegally fragmented. This caused a sort of split personality disorder, giving him more AIs, and they are all Jaunes.

(For those of u who don't understand, all the AI fragments are versions of Jaune.)

Roman: so all these AIs are the kid?

View nodded And Roman rubbed his forehead

Roman: Jesus.

Sun: how many are there?

View: There is Sigma the creativity, omega the rage, gamma the deceit, Alpha the original, epsilon the memory's, theta the trust, delta the logic, eta the fear, iota the happiness, and more.

Walter: I guess they knew it was coming.

Goodwitch: it?

Walter continued

Walter: at first we thought it was help, it came in and went to the ship and searched it. It moved so fast no one could see it, not even our cams could. Then it moved to blue base, and ransacked it. After blue base though, it seemed different.

Goodwitch: describe different.

Walter: it looked like it wasent there, and then it came after us!

The perspective switches to back to the base, before the carnage.

Cinder: now we get to see what happened.

Mercury sighed

Mercury: finally!

A giant man, easily seven feet tall, with white and red armor, and a reflective visor. He wielded a sort of grenade launcher with a giant blade on the back. As it reached blue base it stoped by the black armor, and grabbed something from it. As it did, it became almost invisible, and moved onto red base.

View : that is the Meta, a Jaune if you will. He is completely controlled by his AIs, which are the fragments I told you about.

Weiss; so it's not really a Jaune?

View shook his head

View: no, but his own mind is so far gone, that AIs control him. Effectively making him a Jaune.

Velvet raised her hand

Velvet: how did he become invisible?

View; he took an armor ability from the corpse of Pyyhra.

Pyyhra: I'm dead?

View: well, technically you are. But not really.

The poor soldiers on the outside were the first to go, taken out either by snapped neck or by the blade on Meta's weapon. The next soldiers, the ones on the outer wall, were all taken out from grenades fired from Meta's weapon. Ripping apart skin and bone, providing them a Quick death.

Coco turned a little green

Coco: brutal...

The scene cuts back to Walter, who was shaking just at the memory of his encounter.

Walter: I don't know what it was!

Goodwitch spoke in a calm tone to the Cleary distraught man

Goodwitch: Walter, follow these men behind you. They will bring you to your new quarters

Walter nodded and followed them, and goodwitch finally payed attention to the man in the corner

Goodwitch: does any of this sound familiar to you Washington?

The newly named Washington spoke, and he had a very familiar voice

Washington: it sounds just like what I encountered before, and it's only getting stronger with the acquiring of the omega AI.

Ruby: Dad!

Tai: so I'm one of those baddass soldiers! Yes, this is awesome!

Goodwitch: Now I want you to go to the omega a AIs last known location, the soldiers there know the most about it.

Washington: so you want me to find these expert-

Goodwitch interrupted him

Goodwitch: we don't like to use that word, do you still have your old armor?

Washington: yes-

The camera cuts away, and brings us back to blood gultch

Washington: why?
