With all the negative publicity and the disappearance of Darwin, I think its time to cut our ties to the aces. We should start a new night investigation group. John should be the team leader since he knows the workings of the group the best. I think it is the best course of action, with Darwin around he can represent his interests how he chooses, with him gone any thing we do may or may not better or worsen his image. The day Aces can refer them to our group so we can still get the jobs and stuff.
If we do keep the Aces i wont work for Annie in any capacity, if she has any power at the Aces I wont work for the Aces any more.

Technically since the night crew of the Black aces did not exist under the legal business any thing Annie does to keep the legit business going will not affect the command structure of the night crew. In other words there is no real way any one person can take command without the consent of the others.
I see this as an opportunity to finally separate the two Aces. Darwin never really wanted the day guys to move into this new office but the spider changed his plans in that regard.

I saw it! 3 legs holding gas cans, 1 with a lighter, taunting, daring us to stop it!
Yeah, the almost "leadership" of the Aces is a mute point IMHO. They are just the guys that get the contracts, the team as a whole gets the job done, and that is only if we all agree on a plan.
Occ: Danielles water broke, but the Midwife sent us home till 2 so Dani could sleep. baby is coming!

We are all just a bunch of people who manage to work together, despite the odds. Mainly because the pay is good. Or, in my case, for the research potential, though with Darwin gone, that whole 'Hey, I found a new type of metanormal! Let's research the heck out of it' reason is sorta gone too.
I suspect Dr. Nye will be spending much of this month making reparations to Dr. Gray.
Also, congratulations! Hope the birth goes well!

Easier to explain a fire to insurance adjusters than a spider shaped hole in the wall.

If I remember correctly, it was the window. So all we had to do was knock out some glass, jack a car and do a drive by. Less supernatural, and we get to keep the office.
Then again, hindsight is 20/20, and burning the place down seemed like a good idea at the time.

Or just knock out the rest of the glass and then replace the window. Don't even need to report it if you sweep the broken glass up, not like a crime actually took place.
Anyway, whatever you guys do I can make the story work so this is really just a matter of adjusting the framing device of the group. Also, Phavio is the actual business manager of the Black Aces, when Darwin hired him he hire one of his fake identities as the day business manager so that Phavio could keep things running straight. Even after he sorted out the "no filing taxes for supernatural cash jobs" his alternative self was still on the day books.

But then we'd have to, like, PAY money! And that goes against all of our morals! Better to burn it down so we can get some money out of that spider showing up.

Yep, hate to pay money for anything.
In a strickly financial sense the Aces have been an astounding success. In slightly more than a month of in game time you guys have earned over half a million dollars, mostly in untaxed cash.
Granted you've inflicted more like twenty-five million in damages, but its not like anybody can pin that on you.

Most of that was in one building....granted it was a high tech medical research facility...but it was all for a good cause.
