At least we can say that if all four academies do fall, they'll be able to make a base at Menagerie while they figure out what to do. And before anyone thinks there will be no point because if that does happen, Salem wins, she only wins if she gets all four relics and uses them for her desire. If she can't unlock the vault, she doesn't win. So if she doesn't get all four maidens, she doesn't win.

On a related note, with the fact that the relics are locked away behind vaults and they can only be opened by Maiden powers, how the hell is Beacon's Relic missing? I mean, Salem said: "R einforce our numbers at Beacon. The  Relic   is  there."

So if the Relic is locked behind a Vault, and only the Fall Maiden's Power can unlock Beacon's Relic, how the hell did Ozpin hide it? Did he hide the Vault itself? Did he somehow get the vault open (Like the Fall Maiden before Amber opening it) and hid the relic? Or is the vault empty?
