While he didn't manage to get an audience with the Emperor, undercover Booker did manage to get close enough to lob the Orb of Solomon at him. It grew in size and out popped the naked lady. She was quickly shot to pieces and as things were kicking off, Booker got out of there.
Eventually finding his way to lab and shown the way by monkeys who showed him the way out - or at least the way to the rats.
The Signal was signalled, as it were, and Gorbash turned himself and Jayson invisible and flew in. Who'd have thought his Dance skill finally came into good use, dodging through the air? The duo reunited with Booker and a magic portal was opened to a bit further away, everyone got out just in time for the Coalition States to set off 16 missiles on where we had just been!
And then we flew a bit further away, but as we hadn't teleported away we managed to get away alive. And it does seem like the Orb of Solomon was successfully delivered to the Emperor. Question is how he's going to use it.

“I might have a plot hole.”
“As big as a Super SAMAS?”
Booker: “I told you to leave!”
Jayson: “Yes, but we’re big, damn heroes.”
Booker: “I resent being a hero. Big damn, sure. Idiot, assassin, handsome devil, married man …”
GM: “It’s not half of Coalition States out there. There are MANY more.”
“I thought it was a good idea.”
“Eating Booker? Nom nom nom nom …”
“Well, not chewing …”
“It’s almost like Emperor Prosek has protection against magical assassins.”
“Yeah. Bastard.”
“Thrilling heroics!”
“There’s nothing heroic about stupidity.”
