They make their way to a large meeting hall where a large round table is set up as well as screens for viewing of the event. Each chair has a name plate with both parties scattered. A banner hangs over the entrance of the door that says

Peace conference
Humm...Andy says looking around. She goes over to the food table and then checks her watch. You all can go ahead and get some food and take a seat. Where? Weiss asks. Blake and you are at the table with me everyone else can sit in the other seats. You'll be given a chance to speak when the floor opens.

A few minutes later both parties begin filing into the room. Andy is seated nervously munching on her food. She taps her foot on the floor ...Winter Schnee comes over to her. I am here to represent the General. She says. Alright Andy says she shows winter the card that says Alisen military : she takes the paper out that says General James Ironwood and replaces it with one that says Winter Schnee.
Why is my sister on the panel?
Winter asks. I thought there was only one student from each academy. Four actually Andy says. Male female Faunus and - human Winter says. Yes. I don't like classifying it like that but ....it works Winter says. Andy nods. You're very brave doing this Winter says. All of these people in the same room. That's the idea Andy says. To get people to talk. That's all this is Winter says talk. Andy crosses her arms. You're right I am sure both parties would agree action is what matters. And with that Andy goes over to her seat to address the peace conference. Everyone is staring at her. Andy takes a breath.

Hello all my name is Andy Torres. Yes I am related to the infamous Adam Torres. Andy crosses her arms and slowly lets her arms down. Many years ago I went to the school in atlas to get away from the white fang,my brother. I saw that protesting wasn't working violence wasn't working the violence was only making it worse. So I reached out to someone at nine years old I asked to join the Alesian Military.
A few people chuckle. It's ok. You may laugh. I thought it was my only option there I was nine years old a girl born into the white fang. Specifically the splinter group led by my brother. Andy takes a breath. Some of you may be wondering about my parents why they allowed my brother to get the way he is ...they didn't Adam killed them. They saw what he was doing and they tried to stop him. But like many who get in the way of my brother they ended up dead. Andy says. I was a little over the age of three when this happened Andy says. So when Adam allowed it a woman many only know as the High Leader of the white fang became my...suffocate mother. Senna Kahn.
There are a few whispers.

And that brings me to why we are here today. Protesting didn't work..violence didn't work. Many are tired of the violence on both ends of this conflict. I assure you the feeling is mutual. People do not have to die for there to be progress. Now I want to allow the Chief of Mererire to speak.

The man stands up. He looks around and his eyes widen slightly at someone and then he says ...I am Ghira Belladona he says. I led the White Fang many years ago under the blue flag he says pulling a flag out of a box. This flag represents the core of the white fang. We are a people who simply wish to live among others he says. We are people who wish to go to a restaurant and not be turned away because of our heritage he says. Not to be asked to blend in he says. Anyone Faunus or not should proud of who they are. He says. And not ...be ashamed because of their past mistakes he says. We are humans he says. Our DNA may include animal traits but at our core we are humans he says. We do not wish to conquer we only wish for peace he says. He looks to Senna. She nods to him. She stands up.
When I took over as high leader from Chief Ghira the Faunus were
discouraged. Despite....small steps taken by those in power it still did not stop the hate. She says. And I do it mean childish bullying I mean entire families being murdered ...hunted. She says. Violence was not my first choice. But I was under the illusion she says that it was working. And soon the white fang was feared. It was not until both Andy and iconically her own parents spoke to me did I consider the other side. She says. Before Andy came back and spoke to me I would not step foot in a room such as this she says. She takes a breath. In order for our ...people to get along there needs to be acceptance from both sides she says slowly. A place like this she says Beacon I am impressed she says looking at Ozpin. There are many Faunus students here. Education for all children is important. She says. That is where it begins she says when they are young and they grow up being shunned for their ears or their tail or what have you she says. They grow up hating people who could be their friend she says. They end up listening to a leader such as Adam Torres. She says. Thank you she says. She sits down.

Everyone's head turns to the screen when Port says Phyrra Nikos and Penny Pellondana! Winter and Ozpin stand up. Ozpin- winter says. Who is that? He says. Is she- we need to get to the arena Winter says. I'll do you one better. Ozpin says. He gets out his scroll and calls Port on his scroll.
