User blog comment:Zathronas/Speculative author: What is Cinder's plan?/@comment-3257939-20140806031023

Wow. 122 comments? What did I miss?

Ok, my comment. *Clears throat* First: There was a lot of info in the Afterbuzz like the comment about Emerald & Mercury and how they actually have their own teams. They're part of a team but they're working for Cinder right now. What do you think about this?

Second: I'm a hard believer that whenever someone infiltrates in another place, they need to have a plan very well done that 80% of the times includes: A mole. Someone from Beacon who is pulling the strings and allowing Cinder & Co. to go unnoticed. I find it really hard that Cinder has any relation with Beacon. The simple fact that she's in Beacon is way too unbelievable. Ruby almost remembered her and I don't think Glynda will be as naive as Ruby when it comes to recognize faces since people actually thought that Glynda knew Cinder for the expression she made when she looked at her. And if she really doesn't recognize her face, she would recognize her dress and fighting style. While in Beacon, Cinder has to keep a low profile and hide her real abilities, so basically, she's vulnerable when Ruby and Glynda are around to ruin her cover. And about the mole. Remember that Monty said that Ironwood is a good guy but he will be the classic "the end justifies the means" character who does everything for the safety of the people no matter what. If Cinder's goal is not actually causing harm but something that Ironwood can agree with, there you have your mole and a reason on how the hell did they get a mech. The White Fang... I have no idea.

Third: I also find hard to believe that Cinder is trying to conquer an entire kingdom. I already said it a lot of times and will continue to repeat myself as much as it takes: Where are the real hunters? If I know how to fight, I can get away with crimes because there is no one to prevent it? If Cinder conquers a kingdom, she would become a threat to the entire world resulting in the other three kingdoms to unite and take her down.

Four: I have an idea about why Roman is working with Cinder. Remember that he used to be in jail? Well, how did he get out? I believe that Cinder found a way to release him and now he's working for her to pay a debt.
