When we are done with the Grimm, Sienna drags me away from helping and says.
"Now, Orin. We need to talk."
"Do we?"
"Yes! Your new weapons, tell me about them."
I shrug and explain them to her. I make sure to explain the basic thing, and after a few minutes of explanation, she nods her head and says.
"I see." She looks at me directly in the eyes and continues, "Can you mass produce them?"
"Sure. I can do that. Do you want me to do that?"
"Yes. I need you to mass produce these weapons for us to use."
I look at her for a second before saying.
"I don't mind making them, but I need you to promise me something."
"What is it?"
"I need you to promise me not to do wanton killing around the kingdoms."
I raise my hand when she is about to say something, and continue.
"No. I am not asking you to be a pacifist, but to stop what you have been doing in Vale. Bombing civilian trains just because they carry dust to steal is too much. Stealing civilian-grade dust is also too much, especially when that dust is for the frontier village. They might be humans, but they are also people who want to survive just like us here. This is the least I can do for them after not giving them my tech."
I can see the gears turning in her head. The Canon timeline is already going, and the White Fang group that Adam Taurus leads is already working for Cinder Fall. However, unlike in the canon, they are more ruthless than before. Their hatred of humans is well-known, and Adam already has bounties in all kingdoms except Menagerie.
The only reason why he is not a criminal is because of Blake and Sienna. If I can sway her, I can put a bounty on his head and make him an actual terrorist instead of a misguided hero or something.
"I can do that. However, I will use those weapons to rescue our brethren in those mines in Atlas."
"I will give you my blessing for that kind of operation. Hell. I will even create something new for that kind of operation."
Sienna nods her head with a serious expression and says.
"Good. Produce a hundred of these plasma pistols."
"Show me that you are serious and I will start producing."
"I will do that. For now, I need you to create a report for me to read regarding all the things these weapons can do. I want the detailed version of it. Don't write how you made them, but rather what makes them powerful."
"I can do that. Expect them tonight."
She nods and leaves to take care of the other things. As for me? I need to test Gremlin's capabilities even more. With a move of my finger, I command the Gremlin to follow me as I walk toward the location from which the Grimm are coming.

|3rd POV|
The Albain twins look at each other at the information they hear. What Orin demands from them is not something outrageous. He does not want them to be pacifists, but rather someone who does not involve the innocent.
Like Sienna, they also want to make Faunus a race above humans, but unlike her, they do not want to cause too much chaos like Adam Taurus did in Vale.
They do not want to perform the last resort plan involving a coup and killing the chieftain of Menagerie. However, if the situation gets worse, they will do it.
To do it, they want to make Adam into a pure terrorist instead of someone who works for White Fang and the citizens of Menagerie. By killing Ghira and taking over his position, they can officially declare Adam and his group as terrorists.
They do not like how the Belladonna Family and Sienna Khan do not do this sooner. They understand why Sienna does not want to kick Adam away. He is a powerful fighter, someone who can tip the balance of a fight.
The Belladonna family, on the other hand… They do nothing because their precious daughter 'loves' Adam and wants to 'fix' him. That is the reason why they target Ghira instead of Sienna in their last resort plan.
Sienna is still useful as the leader of White Fang and does not need to be replaced.
"What should we do now, Bishop Fennec? Should we support this decision?"
Fennec looks at the one giving them this news and says.
"Of course. We will support this decision. He does not demand anything we don't already plan to do. Spread the word about this decision and how we will make sure anyone who breaks this is condemned. I shall ask the chieftain to make sure his feelings do not get in the way."
Fennec and his brother stand up, leave their base, and walk to the Belladonna family's house. However, as he and his brother walk to the backyard, he can see Sienna Khan and Ilia Amitola talking with Ghira.
Ghira looks at the two of them and says.
"Take a seat. I know what you two want to talk about. These two also have the same proposal for me."
The twins nod their heads and take a seat next to the other two. Ghira looks at the four of them and says.
"All of you want me to officially make a bounty for Adam Taurus and declare him a terrorist. Why? I asked this a couple of months ago when he blew a civilian train for a reason only he knew. Why now?"
Sienna looks at him and says.
"Do you want the real reason or a white lie?"
"Be honest with me."
"Orin."
"Him again? What kind of thing did he create to make you act like this?"
"Weapons."
She looks at Ilia, and the chameleon girl nods her head. She takes out the rifle on her back and points at the rock, not too far away from them. All of them watch the rock explode after the blue energy the rifle produces hits the rock.
"This is a Plasma Repeater, and Orin makes this baby. It can produce plasma that can pierce through an aura and explode from the inside. Not only that, you can also increase the range of the rifle if you erase the explosive effect. Do you know what makes this thing even more valuable? It does not require dust. This is a dust-free weapon that can beat even a dust-fueled weapon."
Now Ghira understands why Sienna is willing to kill one of her most powerful members. With dust-free weapons in her hand, her White Fang now does not need to worry about saving their dust for another day.
"Not only that, the weapon also does not need to be reloaded. You only need to watch out for the heating. When it overheats, you need to wait for at least five seconds before you can use it once again. You need to wait for a second or two after firing fifty to seventy rounds."
Now, Ghira understands why Sienna immediately came to him to ask him to put a bounty on Adam's head.
"I see. Very well. I shall put the bounty on Adam's head and officially declare him a terrorist."
Sienna nods her head. She is not entirely happy with this, but is happy because she gains something more valuable than a rogue fighter. She opens her mouth, but before she can say something, someone walks toward them and says.
"I am sorry to interrupt your meeting, High Leader, Bishops, Chieftain! However, there is something you need to know."
Ghira looks at the rabbit faunus and says.
"What is it?"
"Sir Orin found a massive deposit of dust 25 kilometers away from Kuo Kuana."
All of them look at him and shout as one.
"What?!"
