User blog comment:Zathronas/Speculative author, Volume 3: Cinder Fall/@comment-5090932-20150527193330

I think it's almost certain that she intends to hack the Altesian Knights at an opportune time. I think that's the virus she uploaded at the CCT. We were told that the CCT was Atlas' gift to the world after the war, allowing worldwide communication. But what if that's not ALL it's capable of? The CCT is an Atlas product just like the Altesian Knights. If you had to contral a massive army of robots I'd want to do it from a headquarters that could broadcast the order signals across the land. I think the CCT is the means of controlling Ironwood's massive robot army. And what with the fact that he was just given more power he's going to use it to spread his forces across the land meant as a blanket of protection, but it ends up just placing the pieces in advance of an attack for Cinder. In fact the only thing I really question at this point is whether or not Ironwood is working with Cinder. It could be he sincerely wants to defend the kingdom from a perceived threat with displays of military prowess or his pushieness for more marshal presence lines up with the goals of his secret partner, Cinder.
