The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
Ray is impersonating a mob contact who is involved in a plot to kill a political figure when he is attacked by an armored assassin who calls himself Bishop. Bishop handily beats the Checkmate Knight and blows up his target (or thinks he does, not realizing it was Ray in disguise). After a short breather, Ray goes out as Warwick again to confront the man who tried to have him killed. Once again, Bishop attacks, but this time Ray is ready for him with a souped up suit of Checkmate armor. Waller shows up at Checkmate with reinforcements for a war that is about to rock the intelligence community.

Ray is impersonating a mob contact who is involved in a plot to kill a political figure when he is attacked by an armored assassin who calls himself Bishop. Bishop handily beats the Checkmate Knight and blows up his target (or thinks he does, not realizing it was Ray in disguise). After a short breather, Ray goes out as Warwick again to confront the man who tried to have him killed. Once again, Bishop attacks, but this time Ray is ready for him with a souped up suit of Checkmate armor. Waller shows up at Checkmate with reinforcements for a war that is about to rock the intelligence community.
Waller introduces the leaders of Task Force X to a secret operation known as the Janus Directive whereby either the Force of July or Project Atom is going to turn on them and try to seize power in the covert intelligence community. Waller tells her allies that she wants to strike first and take out the two teams. She sends the Suicide Squad after the Force of July and tells Bronze Tiger that she wants them dead. Ben is uncomfortable with this, especially as Oracle can't confirm that the Janus Directive even exists. The Squad battles the Force and wins.
Checkmate has captured Megala from Project Atom but fails to find a tracking device in his chair which he promptly activates. Eiling sends Major Force to go and get him back. Harry decides that Waller has gone off the deep end with this Janus Directive nonsense and decides to go after her. Gary, Val and Black Thorn infiltrate Belle Reve Prison but tangle with the Suicide Squad, giving Waller time to escape.
Furious that Harry tried to capture her, Waller sends members of the Suicide Squad to Checkmate headquarters where they end up getting involved in a pitched battle between Peacemaker and Major Force. They succeed in taking out both players but fail to bring in either Megala or Harry. Meanwhile, Harry is trying to defuse the Janus Directive conflict by sending Black Thorn to persuade Eiling of Project Atom to contact him so they can talk things out. Kobra, the real mastermind behind the Janus Directive, feels his plan is being derailed a bit and decides to get things back on track.
With their headquarters destroyed, Checkmate moves into the old NORAD complex in Colorado. Harry convinces Eiling that the Janus Directive is a set-up and that Checkmate and the Atom Project need to work together to get to the bottom of it. All over the globe, Kobra begins attacking and killing Checkmate Knights deployed on various missions.
Amanda Waller hires Manhunter to break into Anaconda Industries to find out how it's tied into The Janus Directive.
Firestorm versus the Parasite.
Checkmate, the CBI and Project Atom all attack the Suicide Squad headquarters in order to get to Waller. Once a hasty truce has been called between all teams, Waller explains that she was pretending to be a Kobra doppelganger so they wouldn't catch on to the fact that she was still herself and she could learn what she needed to know about their master plan. Waller begins to explain the true repercussions of Kobra's Janus Directive.
The governmental agencies make peace and mount a coordinated attack on Kobra's space ark. As his master plan and his space ship begin to fall apart around him, Kobra gives the order to fire his operational pulse cannon to cause as much mayhem and destruction as possible.
Kobra's plans are foiled by the various government agencies as they work together to stop his pulse cannon and destroy his space ark. As Kobra was able to easily manipulate the different government agencies into mistrusting and fighting with each other, President Bush decides a little restructuring is in order. Sarge Steel is put in charge of all covert meta-human operations and Eiling is put in charge of all military meta-human operations. Checkmate is removed from Task Force X and absorbs Project Peacemaker. Waller is left in charge of the Suicide Squad as long as she promises to behave.
The family gets together on Eiling's yacht, and Captain Atom battles Black Manta.
