Yea. I noticed the "Cinder might actually be from Mistral" thing.

I thought of a theory that Atlas sort of controls Mistral

Atlas has all the technology and Mistral is where the faunus work in quarries. You know how the SDC hate faunus. The SDC headquarters is in Atlas. Maybe they don't want faunus in Atlas so they send them to Mistral.

That is, of course, if Mistral has the largest quarries and the SDC still treats faunus as slaves.
