(Setting: Ruby and Yang are talking to their parents, minus Summer, who is, well, dead)
Taiyang: ...I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to see you telling all of Remnant about Salem.
Ruby: Would you believe it was Ironwood's idea?
Taiyang: (Rolls eyes) Yeah, right.
Yang: It's true, dad.
Raven: James Ironwood doesn't have ideas of his own. He always takes someone else's idea, adds chrome plating, cupholders, and then passes it off as his own.
Taiyang: The truth is, the one who came up with the idea of telling the world about Salem and then sending out the Atlas Army to protect the various territories was Amber Hammond.
Ruby: Amber...the previous Fall Maiden?
Raven: Why do you think Oz was so eager to kill her off and give her powers to someone he had more control over?
(Raven pushes a button on her helmet, which projects an image on the wall. The image shows Amber talking with Ozpin at his Beacon office, while a screen showing Lionheart, Ironwood, and Theodore is on behind her)
Yang: What's this?
Raven: Six months before the Fall of Beacon, I was spying on a teleconference between Oz and his cronies when Amber decided to join in.
Image!Amber: ...Llook, I know you're worried about a panic and Grimm, but isn't that what Ironwood's army is for? He's got more surplus than he knows what to do with! We could donate them to not just the kingdoms, but other towns, and then warn everyone about Salem, so that they'll be able to protect themselves!
Image!Ozpin: Amber, what you're suggesting... I'm not denying your good intentions, but you're talking about upending the entire status quo on a whim. We can't afford to lose our control over the peace, not when we've finally achieved what our ancestors have been struggling for.
Image!Amber: But...!
Image!Ozpin: That will be all, Amber. Allow us adults to finish our discussion, and perhaps if there's time we can indulge you.
Raven: (Shutting off the video) Amber left Vale not too long after that. I think she was going to look for her own truth.
Ruby: And that's when Cinder got her. All because Oz wouldn't help her. Qrow never mentioned the first part...
Taiyang: He didn't know. Ozpin doesn't like it when people know stuff, remember?
Yang: You knew it.
Taiyang: Well, I, uh, that is.... I may have assisted Amber in getting out of the kingdom unnoticed.
Yang: (Grinning) What'dya do? Squeeze her into a box and ship her out with parcel post?
Taiyang: ...
Zwei: Arf.
Ruby: Da-ad! Are you still doing that!?
