Seems unlikely to be a big problem since it has only been a day all the local police force was compromised.

Specifically:
We left Cleveland literally as soon as we finished in the undersea base.
No time for breakfast or a nap; we just checked out of the hotel and left the city.
It seems to be counterproductive to leave Cleveland with alacrity to avoid any attention and links being drawn between us and the Souls Rest affair , and then hack money from a Pathfinder-affiliated account and wire it to our personal bank account, hereby linking us firmly to the Pathfinders in general and this affair in particular.

We do have resources we can draw on to launder money.
Money transfers leave an electronic trail. Banks maintain financial records for decades. Criminal investigations can take years.
The fact that investigators dont come banging on our door tomorrow does not preclude them showing up in a week or six months or ten years.
Such as? Because thats news to me.
We have a group of cyberdevil hackers who can get into Pathfinder accounts, presumably consumer side. We dont have a network of straw accounts or direct access to bank financial networks, not yet.
Laundering money is significantly more complex than just hacking it.

BTW, pulling one from orbit on the heads of our enemies is Conjuration 6.
If anyone felt like doing an Ebenezar.
Conjuration or Conveyance?

We could always ask Marcon for a favor. Expect he would be happy to. Also a circle mate. But in any case it would be worthwhile to see how available the money is. If we could just transfer the money to some new account in Switzerland that is basically no risk. Or if the money is already in Switzerland and we just have to change the contacts.

Marcone would indeed love to get influence on us.
Harry and Michael would be less than enthused though.

If we make a spaceship, we need to buy one of those decommissioned silos to launch out of.
I think the Walking on Water thing would have been funnier given the household.
Hrm.
How much does water walking screw over wizards? Running water is already a problem for a lot of magic. If Molly can arrange magic fights to happen near a source of water, it would shut down a lot of their capability.
...or you just drag them underwater. Most don't have gills.
One thing you guys might want to consider is if you go gems is, do you want to try to pass them off as natural gems? Diamonds make good drills, sapphire can be used in glass and rubies are used in laser technology so there is certainly a market for artificial stones. It will take more crafting successes to trick and appraiser into thinking they are natural, on the other hand if you can do it they would be a lot easier to explain if they were natural. There are far more mines people do not want to talk about than industrial gem-making set ups.
Conjuration. There is a 6 dots ritual in Sorc's Companion that has no range limitation. Arguably could be done without, but it would be somewhat more involved that just casting one ritual in the vague direction of our enemies.
For Solars Conveyance also probably works, though. They even have a charm to walk off the crash landing.
It should be noted that not all wizards are Harry, some of them to know water magic which is linked to entropy which is as you might imagine harder to disrupt with water. That said the fact that you can indeed walk on running water would be quite problematic for some wizards.
As fir dragging them underwater... you could just hit them with your sword of nuclear hellfire. The thing literally does aggravated damage, which is to say damage that even at one wound will kill a normal mortal. Now wizards are not quite that fragile thanks to their perfect healing over time, but that is a hell of a long time. In any kind of short term though if you can grab them to pull them under the water odds are you can deliver a sword to the face to any enemy wizard and that is generally much worse than droning.

Our fall-charm even deal extra damage where we land.

We can fly and satellites are not that heavy. The trick is getting them to go fast enough to the side to reach orbit. But that is why it makes more sense for us to fix broken satellites in orbit. They already have the needed velocity.
They have a reasonable use in jewelry. Most jewelers would likely buy a gem from someone who is up front that they think it's synthetic and claims they are selling a piece of jewelry they no longer need. They won't give us more than 1/10th what a natural stone would be worth, but that's not nothing and we only need a couple of thousand dollars. This goes double if we trawl an automotive junkyard for some catalytic converters. Those things are lined with platinum, and it doesn't take much to fabricate some platinum studs to mount our synthetic diamond to really sell the story that this is jewelry we are getting rid of.
If nothing else the platinum itself would add a couple of hundred dollars to the sell price.

BTW, on the more relevant note, we now need to figure out a way to make BSM apply constantly, as bottle of water methodology isn't necessary always usable.
Enchanting 1 artifact should probably suffice. Alchemy 1 to sweat hard enough to trigger BSM. Hellfire 1 to summon water.
...Illusion 1 to hide all of these shenanigans and stop awkward questions.
Unless I am misreading things and Essence + Athletics is dealt as additional damage to whatever is dealt a body of infernal falling from orbit. Then it it is fine, lol.

Yeah, but it is a very sad charm. Shrapnel arrival does theoretically allows us to fall from orbit, but... Essence + Athletics worth of damage is just... Sad. IMO it needs adjustment; range or speed modifier.

A nuke siilo to launch out of has nothing to do with practicality, and everything to do with aestehtics and sympathetic resonance with Molly's title.
You are buying a luxury car that costs 44K dollars brand new, you need more like a couple tens of thousands of dolars, maybe more depending on if there are any Mercedes enthusiasts at the auction

We would need prince of Ruin attitude to manage the fuel. Otherwise getting enough rocket fuel to manage would be basically impossible.A nuke siilo to launch out of has nothing to do with practicality, and everything to do with aestehtics and sympathetic resonance with Molly's title.

I'm sure Exalted has much better options for propulsion than chemical rockets.
