Did Ozpin seem surprised by Ironwood's revelations? It seems like Ozzy always knows everything.

If Cinder was the Fall Maiden, that could imply that the Aura extraction was used on her by Atlas, but it didn't take. It's possible that Atlas developed this technology for the sole purpose of controlling where and when the Maiden appeared. However, it didn't take. Not completely. Because the Maiden's powers are so great. Afterward, Cinder attacked Amber and had to go on the run from Atlas soldiers. It's hard to tell by this when the technology developed to the point of creating artificial life. Was Penny created before trying to control the Maiden or after?
