The school life is an okay life for the pupils and professors, but when weekend strikes, everyone is let loose. Everyone came back to their respective homes and homeland, some lived in the areas with parents and other relatives. Today is a bit different; by that it's a lot different.

The OPRATRs brought their family's members into the Operator base, with the exception for: Jacques Schnee (Company management), Whitley Schnee (Because of Jacques), Ghira and Kali Belladonna (Faunus problem), Raven Branwen (Location: Unknown), Mr and Mrs Nikos (Reason unknown). They also brought their friends to the party.

The VTOL lands on the platform, in the dense Emerald Forest that covers up the base. They open the doors to let them in. It is astonishing that the Operators have to work in such a large base, hidden inside a dense forest. It is spacious, most definitely it has room for meetings and talks by Atlas. Winer did come to the Base from time to time, majority is by assisting General Ironwood. Everyone split up to look at the place for the view on the Operator's HQ.

Ruby went with Alpha to the Armory and it was large. Ruby dashed around the armory, looking and drooling upon the new weapons that she haven't seen before. Then the mod table, where the Operators modify their weapons to their uniqueness. She may have Crescent Rose, but some just outright beat it in some areas. She and Alpha have some chat time in the Armory:

Ruby: This is so cool!

Alpha: I know right! This is where most of us got our guns for missions.

Ruby: [points at a big sniper rifle] Ooh ooh, What's that?!

Alpha: [Takes the sniper out off the rack] This one?

Ruby: Yeah.

Alpha: *chuckles* This here Rubes [sets it down on a table] is an Anti-Material rifle.

Ruby: What's "Anti-Material?"

Alpha: Let me show you down range. [Takes the sniper]

Ruby: Wait, you guys have a shooting range?!

Alpha: Yep. Ready to see it?

Ruby: Heck yeah!

The two walked by a few rooms till they reached the range. It is an open area with multiple places for weapons or combat training. Ruby looks at all the places.then she asked, "Where's the Range?" That's when Alpha presses a button and main area shifts it's place till it looks like a range. Ruby is so impressed with the design and the room itself. Lots of things can be in one room with a press of a button.

Alpha sets down the rifle then walked away into a storage Closet. Ruby took the opportunity to have a feel with the rifle - it is pretty large and bulky, likely because of the bullet it fires. Alpha came back with a specialised shoulder pad and 2 headphones. He said to her, "You might need this", then gives the pad and a headphone to Ruby. She takes it and let Alpha handle the rifle. He then tells Ruby to out on the headphone, which she did.

It was a moment of silence, that is immediately disrupted by the sound of the weapon firing. Alpha then tells the system to create a wall with normal integrity of concrete that is at least 9 inches thick. This is about a 100 yards from the shooter to the target at the middle. A big hole was made on the concrete. Alpha handed over the rifle to Ruby, who immediately aimed down and shot the concrete. She asked about the ammo and Alpha answered, "That right there is a 50 Caliber BMG round." They got up and walked towards the wall and at first it doesn't do much - that's until the exit was shown. Ruby is astonished by the size of the exit wound. Alpha then shows Ruby a clip of what happened to a Ursa when the gun was shooting at it - it blow up.

Blake's POV

I was in the living quarters, talking with my brothers. Honestly, I felt right at home when I have them, but something inside of me still felt... Empty. When they talk, it's not like when we were small; they were careful on the words they choose, they knew me, but now it's the right time to tell them.

Me: Guys... There's something I need to tell you two.

Theo: What is it, Sis?

Robbie: It's okay, you can ask us. We're not going bite.

Me: *sigh* Do you remember that I told everyone i was an ex-member of the White Fang?

Theo: Yeah.

Robbie: Affirmative. You said it with some note of hesitation.

Me: Yeah [Rubs arm]

Theo: Blake, please tell us. You'll never get over it if you don't talk about it.

Me: Really?

Robbie: Take notes from us. We have to watch innocent people being shot and we couldn't do anything. Just so you know, at least you girls don't get PTSD, because this is way too early for you and trust me, you do not want to get PTSD early, even though we Operators already have them.

Theo: Just relax and access the situation first, only then you can speak.

Me: I didn't tell out all of this, but...... *Sigh* I was Adam's Ex.

Both of them: *shocked* Say what now?

Me: I was with him in ops. After Our parents and I founded out your the Operators, I have to take caution with you two, especially in operations with Adam and the White Fang. If I saw you or your team, I have to tell everyone to leave - just so I won't hurt you.

Robbie: Awww, that's so sweet of you sister.

Theo: Why'd you leave? Did something happened?

Me: It was 4 days before I entered Beacon...

Theo: Woah woah woah, Hold the phone! Did you say "4 days" before you entered Beacon?

Me: Yes and That time, you guys were there.

Robbie: So your saying.... Huh, it all makes sense now, but the reasoning is unclear.

Blake: What is it?

Theo: The reason you left Adam on that train engine cart is the one we are unsure, unless...

Me: I was getting to that.

Theo:... Oh right, go ahead.

Me: as I was saying, it was a brutal mission. Many of us fell at the hands of the machines, many because of the Operators. After seeing the all of you, we have to run. Adam wanted to use the train as a bomb. He was waiting for me, but after seeing his darker side, I had to choose. So I break the chain holding the 2 carts together - shattering the bond me and Adam have since now I understand that he is a tyrant in my eyes.

Robbie: Sorry to hear that Blake.

Theo: Damn, I thought you were back home training, while we risk our lives for the betterment of others and all.

Me: *chuckles lowly* I guess all of us have secrets.

Theo: Even an Honest man, always have his mischievous side.

No one's POV

Everyone pretty much toured around the base: Yang and Charlie going to the Gym; Bravo and Pyrrah talking about what's happening lately; STQ looking at Alpha and Ruby; Weiss reconnecting with her brother along with Winter. The base is quite large, larger than the OPRATR's dorm. Everyone else is pretty much scattered around the place.

At the end of the day, everyone leaves for their homes except for Delta, who wanted to keep the secret for long as he wanted Jacques Schnee to think he is dead. Bravo goes back to Argus with Pyrrah for family reunion. Theo and Foxtrot goes to Menagerie with Blake to reconnect with family. Finally, Alpha and Charlie goes back with STQ, Ruby and Yang to the Patch, same reason.
