[It takes him a while to post anything, having taken the time to read the pamphlet through several times before even exiting the pod. He stands just outside the exit to the Bay when he starts up his device.]

This is indeed most troubling. I assume if there is anyone I am familiar with here, the sound of my voice should be enough to alert them to my presence. That said, I would appreciate being contacted at your earliest convenience.

[He clicks the device off and swings his cane to rest on his shoulder as he sets off in search of a coffee shop.]

Clearly, he should be the welcome commitee in future. [Video]

[...]

...Headmaster.

Indeed! [Video]

[shining_beacon]

Ah, Mr. Ren. I must admit I had hoped my message would fall on deaf ears, but it is what it is. Are you unharmed?

[Video]

[theywerebeowolves]

[It's a strange sentiment but one he can understand, he thinks. As for being unhurt, he nods in response.]

And yourself?

[Video]

[shining_beacon]

Oh I am quite alright. A little... off-put by our current situation, but I am fine otherwise.

Re: [Video]

[theywerebeowolves]

[He nods again, glad to hear that he's unhurt. Never really one to waste words, you know, at all, he goes straight for the direct line of conversation that is to be had right now.]

Jaune contacted me shortly after I arrived. Team JNPR in the least appear to be here. [He's not been here long enough himself to say who else is.]

[dramaticals]

[adam generally wasn't one to come out and contact people, but he was still on the lookout for clues.]

Were there any clues when you woke up? Possibly from our captors?

[aaaand he cuts right to the chase.]

voice;

[shining_beacon]

[Well now, this was a surprise. He knows Adam by reputation very well. After all, Blake is in his school. He's done his homework. For now though, he won't let on that he knows who he's talking to.]

I'm afraid not. The water does a good job of washing away any clues that may have been left behind. Not to mention the device I found myself in left little to no evidence it was touched before my arrival. Very peculiar.

voice;

[dramaticals]

[the white fang know of ozpin as well. but adam had never met the man so he doesn't have a clue who he is. not yet, anyway.]

...Yet another dead end.

[he sounds less than pleased.]

voice;

[shining_beacon]

[Ozpin will keep that as long as he can, really.]

I'm afraid so, unfortunately. I went over the place with a fine-tooth comb and came up empty handed. Should I find anything of note, I will make sure to update everyone.

voice;

[dramaticals]

I did too.

[a beat.]

That's the biggest clue of all. That there's nothing, it's far too suspicious.

[descendsfromshadow]

[Well... this was even less expected than the last few arrivals. It seemed something out there really was overly interested in their world.]

Professor?

Audio

[shining_beacon]

Ah, Miss Belladonna. I... must admit that hearing you are here as well conjures mixed emotions. I had hoped that none of my students would be subjected to this place, but with both yourself and Lie Ren's response, I suppose the best I can do is simply hope that you are all unharmed.

[He takes a second to switch over to a private feed.]

I believe I have spoken to an old associate of yours... has Adam given you any trouble, Blake?

Re: Audio

[descendsfromshadow]

If Ren's here as well that makes all of Teams RWBY and JNPR are here now. There are also a few others from our world who aren't students at Beacon.

[She delivers the report quickly and professionally, like a soldier would. She blinks in confusion when he switches to the private audio then stops short at what he says next.]

You knew about that?

Private Audio

[shining_beacon]

Well, we'll not be lacking in talent at least.

I'm headmaster of Vale's most prestigious Hunter Training Academy. I do thorough background checks on all my students. Yes. I knew about Adam, and your time with the White Fang. However, that does not matter to me. All I care about is who you are. Not who you were.

However, that does not answer my question. Has he caused you any trouble?

Private Audio

[descendsfromshadow]

[Of course. She should have known that he of all people would have known the truth. She believes him when he says it doesn't matter to him but, even so, her place at Beacon suddenly felt a little less secure.

Not that that seemed to matter right now. And he couldn't possibly know EVERYTHING, could he?]

He hasn't. I spoke with him when he first arrived, and he agreed not to cause any trouble for us.

Professor Ozpin!!!

[Very rarely will Weiss project her image into the feed but desperate times come for desperate measures.]

Thank god you're here. Maybe you'll figure out everything that we cant.

[shining_beacon]

[Ozpin can be seen making his way into the city at a swift pace, occasionally glancing around and consulting the pamphlet to make sure he's going the right way.]

So it would seem all of RWBY is here as well. If you are referring to the situation with Yang, I just saw Ruby's post on the matter and am making my way there now. I don't suppose you have any ideas as to what happened do you, Miss Schnee?

[combatskirts]

[Weiss herself is sitting in the lobby where everyone is meeting. Ozpin can probably hear muted chatter.]

Well a lot of the other things too. There's so much unknown information here.

And... No, I don't. It's only been two weeks since I've been here.

video

[shining_beacon]

[Indeed he can, and he's actually paying quite a bit of attention to it, actually.]

Information is a very unique currency. It is often sitting in plain sight, just waiting for someone to notice it. It takes years of practice to see it for what it is, but with patience, I have no doubt that you could achieve a similar level of perception.

I see. How long were the others here before you arrived?

[Audio]

[imitationsloth]

Professor Ozpin?!

...

Hi!

[Audio]

[shining_beacon]

[There's a soft chuckle on his end. He had been expecting something like that from Nora.]

Hello Miss Valkyrie. I'm going to assume from your tone that you are unharmed as well?

[Audio]

[imitationsloth]

[There's probably a sound of machinery in the background, she's still in that factory she found.]

I'm perfectly fine~! How're you?

[Audio]

[shining_beacon]

I am unharmed.

[He pauses for a minute, listening to the rhythm of the machinery. Putting that together with what he knows about Nora and...]

...You've found a sweets factory, I take it?

[Audio]

[fieryvictor]

Professor Ozpin! How on earth--

[Okay, now she's worried.]

[Audio]

[shining_beacon]

[Well, with Ren accounting for Jaune, that's all of RWBY and JNPR now. Part of him is indeed relieved to have his top two teams to support him here, but still wishes they hadn't been dragged into this though.]

Miss Nikos. I am quite alright. It appears whatever brought us here has opted to bring quite the number from Beacon. I suppose it was only logical that I would be targeted as well.
