Corvalho, Part One
When outside forces rig an election on the island nation of Santa Prisca, forces under Bane's control move to seize power. However, Bane isn't the one who rigged the election. Colonel Computron contacts Checkmate, offering to sell out his employer for extraction from Santa Prisca before Bane finds him.Thomas Jagger (White King's Knight) and Beatriz Dacosta (Black King's Knight) are inserted to Santa Prisca to locate and retrieve Computron. But both Knights have other, personal objectives on Santa Prisca, and Computron isn't aware of how his willingness to rat out his employer may cost him.
