@Zathronas I don't think that Roman would have needed to plan for a Beacon intervention, because if it weren't for Weiss, the entire RWBY team wouldn't even be at the Vytal Festival. Team RWBY where the only for Beacon characters (that we know of) that showed up and if Blake hadn't run off, I don't think that Team RWBY, Sun and Penny would have even known what was happening fast enough to get there in time. And when you plan for a hit and run gig, you can't really plan for a giant laser firing robot being aimed at you, and you probably wouldn't be expecting a war against teenagers from a school campus that is quite a sizable distance away.
