So I just got to thinking: Why would The White Fang have a reason for destroying the dust shipment? They were hardly in a position where they were rushed in any way. It was guerilla warfare and they were on a moving training, it's unlikely the SDC even knew the train was being attacked at the time, I mean sure the crew members COULD have set off an alarm but, if the train was equipped with such things then surely two people participating in guerilla warfare would prioritise the crew members over the security mechs.

Anyways back to the WF/Dust thing: The White Fang would have no reason to not steal the dust rather than destroying it. The actual act of a heist would draw far less attention than blowing up a train and they would gain what their enemies (the SDC, the military the SDC is likely supporting) had lost. And Blake seems like she is actually a little taken aback by the plan and it plays off like she had no idea the train was going to be rigged with explosives.

Maybe Adam isn't actually a White Fang loyalist. Sure he may hate humans, but perhaps he realises the danger in handing dust over to the WF and so chose to destroy the dust rather than steal it which may have been the original plan, a blow to both sides of this conflict. If he does hate humans then he could easily see the 10 or so crew members as expendable and so sees the vengeance against the SDC AND the prevention of dust falling into the wrong hands as justification for said casualties.

Basically, since we all seem to enjoy placing alignments on characters, perhaps he actually closer to Blake in terms of nature than we think? Perhaps he is dhaotic good, or perhaps more accurately: chaotic neutral.
