So far I'm just checking here, but whatever Cinder's up to, it's definitely something............evil. So far, the only real "Hint" to her goals is that shot of her with the jets flying by. My personal take on that is that she's an agent of some other "Rogue state" or quasi-nation, or even one of the major nations, to cause the collapse of Vale, possibly since it's an economic competitor, and those planes are the final invasion when the military and hunters are worn out and unable to fight back, also explaining the fixation on gathering dust, which could imply the other nation is relatively short of the stuff and wants to invade for the resources. To this end, she hires Roman, to gather dust, and puts out feelers in the black market, or something like that, for contraband dust. Given that Adam, who I personally think isn't just out for a simple train going boom, and would rather have it go boom at wherever the dust was to be offloaded, called off the job and instead looted the dust, and the White fang sold it to make up for the loss. This is how they get in with Cinder, but their aims differ.

Cinder: Collapse of vale, Invasion by other nation.

Roman: Get back at vale for what I would guess to be a rather uncomfortable prison sentence, line pockets.

White Fang: Genocide of humans (Including Cinder and Roman once they've become less useful), White Fang-ruled nation on the ashes of Vale, and possible future white-fang ruled Remant.
