Welcome back everyone to Where from Here?, and precisely on schedule.


 * Watts and Lionheart go into what could only have been Leo's panic room before Watts came to speak to the Metroid Salem uses to communicate to them. Watts takes the opportunity to be a douche to Cinder, making her so angry she completely recovers from being almost mute.


 * The situation is filled in, but when Leo suggests hurrying in their objective, Salem punishes him for his daring to act on their evil plan. You'd think a guy would know.


 * Back at base, Cinder objects to keeping Ruby Rose alive, enlisting the White Fang, and getting the cooperation of the Branwen Tribe, and being in a good mood Salem lets it slide. She then tells them her strategy as Lady of all Evil is "why do it yourself when other, more stupid and gullible people could do it for you," something that doesn't seem to get across to Cinder.


 * Meanwhile in Mistral Airspace: Weiss and Maverick the Airship Pilot are flying when the aircraft broadcasting the mayday is destroyed by terrorist Grimm bugs and moves on to theirs. They fight them off as best they can and they destroy the swarm...only to be followed by a Queen, no doubt awakened by Weiss breaking a cliff face apart to kill the swarm. Weiss gives her all, even dumping the cargo on it (something Maverick would have probably been shocked to see if only he could) but she ends up summoning her knight familiar to destroy it. It destroys the Queen, but Weiss must have owed money to the Knight when it was alive because it deflects one of the Queen's attacks right into their turbine, sending them crashing into the shore.


 * During all this, Adam goes to talk to the famed Sienna Khan, who chews him out for being a violent zealot who not only destroyed the CCT (possibly blocking communication with the other White Fang chapters), not only destroying a Huntsman Academy (reducing the amount of Huntsmen able to help out villages, villages probably ones with Faunus in it), not only destabilized a region (which is increasing Grimm activity), but has painted a target on the White Fang saying "we totally did this, y'all!"


 * As a rebuttal, Adam brings in the human Hazel (giving another reason to be pissed at him from Sienna's perspective), but when she says Faunus can't win a war against the humans, Adam says she's wrong and states his position on Faunus Supremacy. When Sienna decides she had enough of the two for one day, she has them taken away...or she would have, if not for the fact that her guards agree with Adam and the potential union benefits they can get from joining him. Adam quickly kills Sienna and takes over as high leader, disgusting Hazel of all people.


 * Weiss meanwhile is lying on the ground in pain when two nice bandit samaritans come by. Raven shows up between them, completely giddy at the bigass score they just got from a crashed airship holding an heiress to a company that laughs at the concept of monopoly laws. Weiss probably realizes this just before Raven's boot smashes her face in. I'm sure Maverick's just fine though.

Alright, speculation time, and it's good to be back!
