Weiss: I don't think the White Fang can muster another assault either. We can't take another assault like that with him and the Atlesian soldiers out of action. Slate: I think we should ask Professor Port that question. Weiss: What's the plan now that we're stuck here? Liv stares off into the surrounding forest. It felt good to jump first and look second. Weiss: My teammates have left their mark on me. Slate: Weiss, I knew you were determined but I didn't know you were impulsive. Slate, Weiss and Liv walk around the outside of North Bend's barricades on patrol. Tao: I'd rather stay here than abandon an entire continent! We're abandoning Vale?ĭe: It seems so, but at least you'll get your wish. Tao: Liv and Slate said the same thing about the attacks. North Bend was one of the few so attacked to hold. Faunus have been overrunning villages and refugee camps all across Vale. The attack on North Bend was not isolated. You'll be going to Mistral, and will likely be reassigned there. This entire village is being evacuated in a short time.
You're sounding like a spymaster, not a councilor.ĭe pauses again for a while, we see her thinking, phrasing her words.ĭe: I think you should focus on something to look forward to, so I'll break clearance just this once. Tao: Mom! I can barely control it! You just told me I killed somebody with this! I haven't 'tried it out' on anybody! I didn't even know I could do it during lessons with Glynda. I got freaked out, and I dropped out of Sight.ĭe: Have you tried this on any Humans, or does it only work on Faunus? I was just, trying to concentrate to get more information for Professor Port. At a distance of about 200 yards, through some intervening foliage. There was another Faunus and I lifted him, or her?, off the ground without trying. Tao: Yes, when we sallied forth with Professor Port. Have you had any other episodes like this? I'm afraid you wouldn't be made priority enough to be seen.ĭe: So your mother will just have to do. In normal times, I'd have you speak with a councilor.ĭe: But every such resource is overwhelmed in the aftermath of Vytal. I've tried not to think of it lately.ĭe: Every agent's first soul fatality is hard. I just did, without thinking about why or what's next. I was in the middle of battle, and she was unreachable. Tao: I didn't know what happened to her, or her family, or her aura or anything like that! In the moment, I saw her shoot Lava and I was furious. This one said that you "might be able to distort the soul of an unsuspecting opponent not manifesting any active aura effects." Are you this cheerful with all your co-workers?ĭe: I read another report from Glynda. It was as if a healthy young woman entered Vale, participated in a terrorist attack, then just fell over dead without even hitting her head. The autopsy revealed no internal injury as well. She was found dead with no sign of injury.ĭe: The family was devastated, they didn't know her involvement with the White Fang. Tao stares at the ground, pen and paper in hand.ĭe: I read a report regarding one of the Faunus left dead in the city of Vale during the Vytal tournament attack.ĭe bends down to look Tao in the eyes, and Tao tenses up.ĭe: This Faunus was wearing a White Fang uniform but no Grimm mask. It matters to me, even if it doesn't to the agency.ĭe stares at Tao. I know it doesn't matter.ĭe: Of course it matters. I know it can be hard, but this is about the normal difficulty of an assignment. I want to get out of this place.ĭe: This is your assigned location. They're detailed and concise.ĭe: You've missed some activity in North Bend that I've filled in for you, but you're new, you'll pick up more as you get practiced at looking for all the pieces instead of just what you think is important at the time, or what you may have been assigned to observe.ĭe: The correct question is: what activity did I miss?
De materializes her aura projection next to him.ĭe: I've been reading your reports. Before him are paper and pen, but the paper is unmarked.
