Alternative Stratagems: James Ironwood's Plan to Utilize Atlas in Reaching and Alerting the Other Kingdoms
In the world of G(Context), the proposal to use Atlas to evacuate Mantle and alert the other kingdoms of Salem's threat was a bold and intricate strategy. While it seemed theoretically possible with the aid of a tower like Amity Tower, the execution would have been challenging, to say the least.
Theoretical Possibility vs. Practical Reality
The idea was centered around utilizing Atlas as a means to reach other kingdoms, but even the grand plan for Amity Tower was merely to lift it into the air. The task of moving Atlas, which is described as colossal, would require insane propulsion systems. Additionally, such a feat would necessitate detailed blueprints, something that was still lacking as of the time in question.
Potential Scenarios and Challenges
Assuming that these unimaginable technologies existed and the evacuation of Mantle was successfully accomplished, further challenges would arise. The next significant obstacle would be defending the Atlas military against Grimm attacks, while simultaneously ensuring the evacuation process. Fortunately, Weiss can arrange for SDC transports, which would provide much-needed aid and allow Ironwood to focus on the Grimm threat.
Upon the conclusion of evacuations, the Atlas military would embark on a perilous journey towards Vacuo. This would likely lead to a significant confrontation with Salem, particularly once the Winter Pentathlon, the entire Atlas military, Happy Huntresses, RWBY, ORNJ, and Qrow are all present. It is speculated that Emerald and Hazel would not have turned against Salem without Oscar being the catalyst, and that would be highly unlikely in a scenario where there were no such events.
The Outcome and Morale Boost
Given these advantages, Atlas would likely be well-equipped to fend off Salem and perhaps even secure a victory. This success would greatly boost morale, particularly for Ironwood. Upon reaching Vacuo, the additional line of defense provided by Atlas would make it significantly more difficult for Salem and their allies to continue their operations.
Evaluation of the Strategy
While the Ironwood plan appears promising on paper, it is ultimately impractical in the current context. The events of Volume 7, Episode 11, and onwards revealed that Ironwood was in no state to listen to reason. The RWBY team, along with Ironwood, mishandled the situation and exacerbated the problem. Thus, recovery and the implementation of a viable plan would be an uphill battle.
These considerations highlight the complexity and challenges faced by the characters in the story. The discussions about strategy and execution continue to evolve, with many potential scenarios playing out in speculative forums and comments sections.
