Synopsis for "The Game of Kings, Part 2"
Five days and twenty-two hours before Checkmate was to be dissolved, Faraday brought up a scenario in which they launched a covert in which they blackmailed Ambassador Shi to vote in their favor while Kobra was plotting their revenge against them. During a meeting, Alan and Waller planned to start building support for a second resolution while Taleb and Sasha planned to investigate the theft of the cyclosarin from the Chinese. Alan argued with Sasha over the execution of her mission before Waller told her togo the Great Wall Facility in Hebei Province, where an army of supermen was being developed and bring back proof in order to discourage Shi from vetoing a second resolution. Kobra operatives observed Alan as he talked to the Russian ambassador in Moscow and Waller as she talked to the U.S. ambassador in Washington, D.C. while Checkmate members arrived at the Great Wall.
