...Dear god, I think I just figured it out. Except Cinder is currently laying low inside Beacon so communication between her and Roman is potentially cut down to minimum, meaning he may have given him a list of stuff to do in her absence and he’s nonchalantly ticking the list while neo keeps an eye on him.

One of those things on the list being taking the Paladins, which is infinitely easier with an inside man, or lady in my case. Now take a look at the paladin in question, and you might notice it looks like it was taken out of a scrap yard. I propose that thing was an alpha/beta version that where going to be recycled but with Winters help she shipped them to him without anyone noticing.

As for why Winter is doing it, I’m not going to go too deep into it but until further notice I’ll say she wants to do a Brutus on daddy Cesar, if you catch my drift.
