There's no way that this plan can fail.

Braces has everything.  He's got a special evil lady (well, I'm assuming that she's special in some capacity since she hasn't done much of anything but question this plan, but I bet it's only because she's waiting for the right time to justify her position in this gang), a creepy guy in a turtleneck with an eye patch (a must have for any would-be criminal mastermind), and lest we forget, a giant robot (perfect for all of your enemy crushing and building destroying needs).  Braces' only possible point of weakness are his stubby little fingers (and I could be wrong, but sometime in his past it appears that there was an unfortunate incident involving a sharp edge that cost him part of a pinky), but I'm sure that the giant robot more than makes up for it.  Now if only he would tell us why he wants to break into Genesis, but I'm sure it's a really good reason (a really, really good reason).  You know, when this story arc is over, and Braces is carted away to jail, never to be seen or heard from again, I think I'm actually going to miss him.
So, I guess the break-in has started.  I didn't really notice anything that said it had, but why would Braces go and have his robot destroy his own hideout?  What I'm also a little confused by is the robot's apparent experience with breaking in to places.  I mean, from what I understood, it was only recently taken out of the crate, which would tell me that it had no prior experience with crime, yet when it's being given orders, it says, "I know the drill," indicating that this is not the first crime that it's committed.  Ah well, perhaps this is one of those times when I shouldn't ask too many questions and just go along for the ride.  (Yes, I think that I'll enjoy this a lot more that way.  Although, a secret organization of robot criminals is a pretty neat idea...)
