As everyone from the theater returned Ryan was seen leaning on the railing. Ruby and everyone discussed about Soviet saying they should go to Menagerie, Ruby then approached Ryan wanting to request a new transfer for the 4th.

Ruby: Lieutenant Newport.

Ryan: Yeah Rose?

Ruby: I want to request that the 4th Brigade transfer to Fort Faunus.

This caused Ryan to raise his eyebrow a bit, confused.

Ryan: Why so Private?

Ruby: It feels like something bad is going to happen there.

This confused Ryan.

Ryan: How so Private?

Ruby: Call it a hunch.

Ryan sighed a little.

Ryan: I'll put in the request.

Ruby: Thank you Lieutenant.

Ruby gave Ryan a salute before returning to her fellow students turned marines.

Arslan: What did he say?

Ruby: He's going to try and approve it.

Blake: Good, because if Soviet told us to go there, that means something is about to happen.

Reese: Do you think Menagerie will be under attack?

Weiss: Knowing Atlas most likely.

The group of students were about to be approached by the people who defected from Atlas before they were stopped by Ryan and some sailors.

Ryan: Stop right there.

Winter: Why?

Ryan: Command wants to have a word with you.

Willow: Why does he need to talk to us?

Ryan: Intel and such, come.

Ryan directed the group to the bridge.

Timeskip.

The USS Denver (CL-16) was seen docking at the dock at Fort Faunus with Jack and Dave waiting for Ryan and a Platoon of marines which half were the student turned marines.

Jack: Welcome Lieutenant.

Ryan: Honors all mine, Captain.

Jack: So, what brings ye here?

Ryan: Private Rose said she had a bad feeling about this base, so command wanted to be sure and sent us.

Jack: Private Rose?

Jack looked behind Ryan to see all the students, more specifically Velvet.

Jack: Look who it is!

Everyone watched Jack approach Velvet.

Jack: Nice to see you again bun! And it seems you joined the marines.

Velvet: Y-yeah.

Jack gave Velvet's helmet a pat on the head.

Jack: Nice to have you on board, now then let us-

*BOOM*

The USS Denver was seen sinking while it was on fire as the dock started to collapse.
