That is perfect for going to Atlas then. They get to see the public backlash on the homefront after Atlas' military was humiliated. OR, Atlas is covering up their failure or downplaying it. I know Sun is the only relevant character from Vacuo. (We also have NDGO and BRNZ).

Depending on Patch's situation (it's a wild card, since the Grimm were being attracted by the negativity at Amity and Cinder's objective was Beacon) and how many survivors we have, it's perfectly possible they initially evacuate to the island and send the foreigners back home before doing anything else.

I don't think that from where the main cast and B-team are can tell us much about what kingdom we are visiting next.

- Ruby and Yang are from Patch and we haven't met Taiyang who teaches at Signal, so that could be a reason to take the story there. It could also pick up on the Raven story, since Yang almost got killed trying to find her in that abandoned cottage in Patch.

- Weiss is from Atlas, going to Atlas could lead us into a a Weiss arc with her family. Could also serve for us to meet the reast of FNKI, show us how Atlas indoctrinates its students and how the SDC mistreats faunus.

- We were told last volume, that there was a backstory for Ren and Nora linked to the out of kingdom village they were going to visit in their shadowing mission. With Vale fallen, they could take us to show us out of the kingdom life vias having established a safe perimeter around an established village.

- Qrow's investigation took him to Mistral, he meet Raven somewhere around that time and SSSN is in Haven Academy plus Pyrrha is from Mistral, went to combat school there, won a Regional four times in a row. We were also told Pyrrha would get some backstory with her mother. Cinder claims to hail from Mistral. Mistral has a Roman-Greek theme and Emeralds surname is in Italian. Going to Mistral could take us down the path of finding Raven, Emerald character development, the villains lair and meeting a new Academy headmaster.

- Vacuo was the only place not shit talked by Cinder. Going to Vacuo could lead us to meet a new headmaster. Vacuo could be chosen as the evacuation destination because: Cinder didn't shit talk them so they don't feel like they are next on her target list to the people in charge, they are the only kingdom in the same continent as Vale, so they are reachable by land, they may even be the kingdom closet to Vale.

We don't know where Jaune is from (I presume from Vale but it could be anywhere really, he might be a foreigner and judged that falsified transcript would be harder to falsify in another kingdom), neither we know where Sage and Scarlet are native too. Nor CVFY, FNKI (I assume Flynt is from Atlas because of his backstory with the SDC, but the SDC is a big multinational company). Ciel is likely from Atlas.

Basically, all future destinations have their in and out of universe reasons to be used.
