Team SCRM took the black king pieces, though both were for very different reasons. Silver and Rowan took the piece because of Silver's desire to be person in charge and answer to no authority but his own, and Rowan agreed since she felt it was indicative of taking responsiblity for others. Ciarán and Midori picked theirs up because of Ciarán's respect for his superiors, even if he does go behind their back to get his way, and Midori believed it's symbolic of her being in a position of impunity.
