Synopsis for "The Game of Kings, Part 1"

In the Gulf of Aden, east of Somalia, four figures in wetsuits emerge from the Gulf. These four, Fire, Sasha Bordeaux, Jessica Midnight, and Jonah McCarthy approach a hardened facility and kill the four Kobra guards stationed there. At the United Nations, Amanda Waller and Alan Scott attend a meeting with the president and the United Nations about whether to continue Checkmate's charter as an authorized security council agency. Back in the Gulf, the four Knights infiltrate Kobra's base, disguised as Kobra agents. Their cover is blown, and they continue their attack in earnest. The Knights upload information from Kobra's hard drive and McCarthy is killed. Back at the U.N., the council decides not to continue Checkmate's charter and they are told to disband and cease all operations in one week.
