Operation Valiant Reckoning

Diplomatic action

Driven by suspicion of Valiant Holdings, The Grand Courts negotiated with the US government to see through the annexation of Valiant's executive officers & resources under the postulation that a Separatist faction standing independent in the United States could result in further incursions into Manhattan by The Hunt.   Supported by federal law enforcement, the Order of Auditors was expedited to Wall Street and swiftly raided the headquarters of Valiant Holdings, arresting four of the six executives responsible for the corporation's management. Locating the remaining two executives en-route to LaGuardia Airport, local law enforcement failed to intercept the vehicle prior to its arrival, resulting in a heated encounter between Broadhead Securities officers stationed at LaGuardia & the Auditors.   Fleeing from the airport, federal law enforcement pursued a motorcade to Queens Museum, where they were met by unexpected resistance in the form of three ashen cloaked strangers. Encircling the facility, federal law enforcement ignored the warnings proffered by the Auditors, dispatching SWAT teams into the museum to detain the fleeing executives. Upon entrance, all contact with the personnel inside was lost, prompting a full assault on the museum by combined local & federal forces, lead in part by the Order of Auditors.
