Salem and company want to stop them from reaching Atlas.

Cinder and Neo want to kill Ruby (When she’s surrounded by teammates including one veteran Huntsman and against Salem’s orders? Good luck.)

Adam wants to make Blake suffer.

At least one of which has the ability to control Grimm. And any attack will generate negativity. There may be sufficient negativity generated when we get to the Goliath in the room. Not to mention this is RWBY. They love playing with our emotions. Except the timeline only allows one of them to be an immediate threat, and thats still only a possibility: Adam.

Hazel we know asked Lil' Miss Malachite about RNJRWBYQO 1 week before Cinder did, and Cinder asked 1 Month after the failure to attack Haven, and got the info one week later, being told about the crash and having it happen weeks earlier. RNJRWBYQO left on the Argus Limited two weeks after the protection of Haven, and the train crashed the same day it departed. RWBYQOM then met Jinn, and found Brunswick Farms over the course of the remainder of the day. The following day they left Brunswick Farms then made it to Argus.

So, by that logic,

RNJRWBY+QOM's story takes place 16 days after the Protection of Haven, as Qrow's letter to Ironwood indicates its two weeks after defending Haven, and the issues with the journey to Argus took two days.

Salem's Faction takes place at least 21 days after the failure to take Haven, as Hazel got the info one week after RNJRWBYQO left, and one week before Cinder, and it most likely took a few days to fly to the Domain of Darkness.

Cinder's story takes place at least 35 days after the failure to take Haven, as Cinder asked Lil' Miss for the info four weeks after the failure, and got the info five weeks after the failure, and there's also the possibility of one day Cinder used to bring Neo up to speed.

So unless RNJRWBY+QOM is sitting in Argus for at least a week, neither of the two forces have a chance of meeting with them. For them, RNJRWBY+QOM they'll assume has already left for Atlas.

So that only leaves Adam, and only because we have no idea where he is, and when in the timeline his story takes place. His final scene in his Short implies he was limping away the night of the Failure, and the first episode indicates his slaughtering the WF Mistral Base was shortly after the Failure. Now while Blake did seem him hooded on the Argus Limited, the only indication it wasn't a hallucination was the mysterious hood he was wearing. And since JN_R is fine and there seems to be no hint of him being in Argus, nor did he seem to be following them to Brunswick Farms, we have no idea where he is.
