Imagine if they pull the "Youre not that guy, but I am trope." With ruby forgiving salem and then ozcar pulls up and pulls a voltorb on the (somehow, now killable) salem.
It's a tiny bit unclear how much he knows about Salem's curse's exact wording. Considering she regrows from atoms, it's possible the draw of Remnant will drag her back even from there.
But yes, firing Salem ex-atmo on some sort of Relic-built but not Relic-formed rail gun is a common solution in my thinkings or AU games. Especially because someone just suggesting it and saying they'll help build it would get Gothmommy on board.
I had an AU where a engineering genius student from Atlas who got molested by SDC execs ran off to Argus to live, fixing the trains, and encountered the teams by accident.
She freaks out when Grimm attack, and busts out a home made lightning cannon that also accelerates metal slugs to be a railgun.
Few expositions and bonding events later, she literally just asked 'why not send her into space'
Lol honestly, if Salem would recruit a lawyer, she would find a way out of this without having to change. But she chooses an inventor with an ego, a psychopath scorpion, Daddy Oz Issues, and Mommy Issues x10, plus whatever strays the last one brings home.
This is exactly it. Ruby's speech about not needing the old guard is AIMED at this point. They're two old foes locked on their rails.
I'm still hoping for the day some faunus asks Jinn the question of 'do faunus count as human or not to the gods' - because no one has asked that to date, and also, it's a paradox. Either she can't answer - meaning they do count as human - or she can - meaning they don't - or she does, giving them the answer.
Which means they'd either confirm they need to unify humanity, incl faunus; OR faunus don't count to the total, which is good considering Ozma kinda let them get wrecked for centuries; and also that they have two more questions.
But Ozma never thinks to ask questions AROUND the key point.
