And Maria continues to be one of my favorite characters. Outside cashews on one flight putting you on a watchlist is too funny a line, and shows how extreme the military is with protocol. Plus, seems her Eyes will be busted till they get to Atlas since her mechanic is in Atlas. And we have her semblance now too. Its a little mundane compared to some of the others, but just as useful. Explains how she so easily blocked that shot from Tock's goon without even seeing him first. Also, called that she didn't attend an academy, she's a natural born warrior.

So like some people thought, the SEW's are derived from the GoL, and derived from the will to protect. And since two of Dadpin's kid's had them, it seems we are going the route of "SEW's are descendants of Ozma's reincarnations". So in a way, Maria is a distant relative to Ruby. And they are so much closer to learning Cinder has a Grimm Claw. Its at this point that it needs to be noticed that only Raven knows she has it, so the others are in for a surprise.

Knew Jaune's reaction would happen, and now that scene is out of the intro, so we are officially flying blind! Also, wonder how Saph will react to the new crack in her wall. And sadly his paranoia is so great he's considering Oscar to be just a meat suit for Ozpin now. I mean, Nora and Ren are upset by the news too, but at least they didn't target Oscar and were just as upset at Jaune doing so.

Qrow's gone drinking again. Really hoped he'd have learned after Ruby and Weiss had to drag him away from the Apathy, but I guess its understandable since he can't even get to Ironwood right now.

The commander.... she's a bitch, her guards are idiots, and I wouldn't mind if they all died so that a new commander would be more willing to let them go to Atlas. Preferrably one less nationalistic. And of course she brings back the racism towards Faunus. Poor Blake.

And now Oscar's gone. I seriously doubt he just gave up considering he didn't go home once they hit Argus, but I fear he's leaving for the others sake since they don't trust Ozpin and he doesn't want to make them uncomfortable, even if they are fine with him. Either that, or someone took him.

And for anyone thinking its Cinder and Neo:

LISTEN PEOPLE!

Cinder and Neo's plot is taking place  THREE WEEKS  after RRAYNBW+QOM's, so they are nowhere near Argus yet! Cinder is still in a block of Ice at this point in time!
