Thank you all for assembling here. I wanted to take time to address some of the rumors that have been circulating around our island. I believe that it is important for the people of this territory to understand the truth. No matter how you feel about the human race, I think we can all agree that the event now known as the Fall of Beacon was a tragedy. A tragedy that will set both man and Faunus-kind back. While the main aggressor is still unknown, we do have official confirmation that Adam Taurus, the leader of a powerful splinter group working inside the White Fang, was partially responsible for these attacks.
His actions not only tarnished the reputation of an organization originally created to bring peace and equality to all, but to our entire race. With each day that this man remains unpunished, it becomes increasingly difficult to condemn those that look down upon us.
Recently, a spy from the same splinter group set their sights on this very home. My own daughter, Blake, and her friend did their very best to apprehend this individual. While they were unsuccessful after being physically assaulted and seriously injured, they were successful in obtaining the assailant's Scroll. With this, we have been able to ascertain that Adam Taurus has plans to overthrow the current leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan, and take over the reigns himself. His radical plans do not stop there. The documents on this Scroll proclaim his next target to be Haven Academy and its attached CCT tower. Their plan is to strike on the last full moon before the beginning of the fall semester, roughly two months from today. I have sent my swiftest messenger to the government of Mistral, but I believe we have a greater responsibility.
My relationship with the White Fang has been an interesting one. Years ago, I led the organization to help try and create a world where I, and every Faunus who wished, could walk alongside the human race. And while I believe we made great strides toward this goal, it was made clear to me that the people both in and out of the White Fang wanted faster results. So I stepped down, and Sienna Khan was appointed as my successor. It's true that I do not fully condone many of her methods. What I do condone is what's Sienna fights for: the idea that the Faunus and humans are, and should be, equal.
Adam Taurus does not seem to have that goal in mind. What he has done benefits no one but himself. I think it's time that the Faunus showed the world that we are equals! Time that we snuff out this splinter group, and restore the White Fang to what it once was! To do this, I think the answer is clear, we must go to Haven and protect it at all costs! Before we proceed any further, I'd like to invite my daughter to come and share her story. Not only as a former member of the White Fang, but also as a survivor of the Fall of Beacon.
Cowards. After everything the humans have done to us, everything they've put us through, you're asking us to help them!?
臆病者め。人間どもが私達にしてきたこと、これまでの仕打ちを全て忘れて、奴等を助けろと言うのか!?

I know we haven't been treated fairly.

Where was their help when the Dust companies treated our people like slaves? Where was their help when Kingdoms hunted Faunus just for being who they are? Where was my help when my parents were killed in a Dust mine? Where?
Young lady, progress takes patience and cooperation!

The Belladonnas are the worst kind of Faunus, they want us to work with the same people that are trying to hold us down. If you truly, truly want to help your people, now is the time to support Adam, not the Belladonnas. He will bring about the future that you deserve. And if you are unwilling to fight, know that the White Fang will do it for you!
It's all my fault. I told you once that I made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. I wasn't exaggerating. I'm… cursed. For thousands of years, I've walked the surface of Remnant, living, dying, and reincarnating in the body of a like-minded soul. The professor Ozpin you all met was not my first form, and clearly wasn't my last. It's an extraordinarily strenuous process on everyone involved.
I am the combination of countless men who've spent their lives trying to protect the people of Remnant. With every re-birth my soul is eventually merged with another and I am changed, but my memories stay with me. This curse was bestowed upon me by the gods because I failed to stop Salem in the past. But we must stop her now.
We start by ensuring the safety of the Relic of Knowledge.
まずは知識のレリックの安全を確保することからだ。

Straight to the point, I like it. We don't normally deal in trafficking people - not really worth our time. But, once we realized we had a Schnee, that changed.
You're going to ransom me back to my father, is that it?
父に身代金を払わせる気ね。そうでしょう?

It's a shame you're a Schnee. You'd probably do quite well around here.

Just keep quiet and cooperate and you'll be back in your mansion before you know it. Don't make this complicated.

What's going to make this complicated is when my sister finds out that I didn't make it Mistral. You know my sister, don't you? Winter Schnee, Special Operative of the Atlas military. She's in Mistral now, and when she hears I'm missing, it won't take long for her to find me - and you.
Oh I don't know that's more funny or sad. But you're clearly out of the loop. Your sister isn't in Mistral anymore. No Atlas personnel are in Mistral anymore. General Ironwood closed the borders and recalled all his little troops and tin cans. No one is coming to rescue you.
But I thought the headmasters all took their orders from you.
ですが、学長達はあなたの指示に従ったのでしょう?

That was the intention. For lieutenants I can trust, especially during times of reincarnation. But Qrow told me about your meeting with Leonardo. He isn't just behaving irrationally, he's disobeying specific instructions I had left him. Something's wrong. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't want to rule out any possibilities, either. No one outside of this room knows that I've paired with Oscar, and I think it may be best to keep it that way.
Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand.
良い手が来るまで切り札は見せるなってこった。

Precisely. Now, we have two steps ahead of us. The first is enlisting the aid of more Huntsmen.

Doesn't own every huntsmen in the kingdom, and I've been here enough times to know where we can find some more.

So long as they're trustworthy.

You can trust them to put up a good fight. I'll throw together a list tonight.

Getting you four into fighting shape.

Mr. Arc, I'm glad to hear you've improved, but sorry to say, you've yet to unlock your Semblance.
アーク君、君の成長は喜ばしいことだが、残念ながらセンブランスの開花まで至っていない。

All of you still have a ways to go before you're ready to pose any real threat against Salem and her forces. And though Oscar can give me temporary control, he'll need to strengthen his body and his Aura.
He'll inherit my muscle memory in time, but practice will expedite the process.
かつての私の体術はいずれ彼に継承されるが、それも鍛錬により促進できるだろう。

But if Qrow's out looking for Huntsmen, then who's going to teach us?
でもクロウはハンター探しがあるし、誰が私たちに教えるんですか?

Well, I believe I was the Headmaster of Beacon Academy. We have approximately one month before classes resume at Haven. If Salem were to plan an attack, it would make sense that it would occur prior to students' return. It's not much time, but it's better than nothing. Just don't expect me to go easy on you.
