Taking down Kobra's mass attack--a bid to bring forth the apocalyptic era of Kali Yuga--requires Checkmate to use their ops team of last resort: The Rooks. "Castling" part 3.
One central question remains – can this series continue to deliver the same high quality of cloak and dagger stories without Rucka involved?
