Cross Continental Transmit System


 * For the RWBY: World of Remnant episode of the same name, see Cross Continental Transmit System.

Atlas developed the Cross Continental Transmit System to allow the four kingdoms to communicate with one another. It was their gift to the world after the Great War.



The Cross Continental Transmit (CCT) is a communication center in the world of RWBY with terminals in various places across Remnant.

Description
The system was first developed by the kingdom of Atlas and gifted to the world after the Great War to allow the kingdoms to remain in communication.

Local terminals take the form of large Transmit towers, the first and biggest of which is located in Atlas. The tower in Vale took the form of an enormous cylindrical building supported by four flying buttresses and serviced by an elevator system. The CCT forms the base of the tower in Beacon Academy.

The CCT is able to place video calls to distant locations, though it is stated by Weiss Schnee that this is not necessarily an ability unique to the CCT, as similar capabilities are available at other locations, including public libraries. The CCT uses holographic AI assistants to attend to their visitors.

A Minor Hiccup
As the first part of Team RWBY's investigation, Weiss and Ruby Rose first visit the Vale CCT tower at the Beacon Academy campus in order to gather data from the Schnee Dust Company records. Ruby expresses an admiration for the tower's immense size and architecture, calling it "just so cool".

Dance Dance Infiltration
This tower is seen again in "Dance Dance Infiltration", where Cinder Fall succeeds in infiltrating it, after incapacitating multiple Atlas Soldiers. She proceeds to the very top of said tower, and begins an unknown process with the monitors and computers, before hiding as Ruby enters the scene, after the latter observes an incapacitated Soldier by the doorway.

As Cinder stands up, she confronts Ruby, with the latter attempting to fire at the former, to no avail. Cinder then escapes, after Ruby deals out some property damage, just in time for James Ironwood to enter the room with Ruby being the only one in it. Later on, the monitors of the CCT are shown as having a black queen chess piece depicted on the screens due to whatever Cinder has accomplished.

Trivia

 * The holographic CCT assistant was voiced by Megan Castro, who works in sales at Rooster Teeth.
