Way I see it, there are too many 'changing sides' on this one. I mean, see it this way: First, Aragorn turned to your side. Then, it was found out that Aragorn was really working for us again, and was pretending to work for you so we could track you down. Then, he got another change of heart and tore out the micro-tracker, effectively making him turn to your side. So, we make up a story which will establish Aragorn changing to our side again. And I'll bet you won't have that, so you add another story saying that Aragorn goes to your side again. See? It's becoming a cycle which effectively makes the whole story lame.
Brett, it's not a matter of 'having your best buddy on the Net' join forces. The whole idea of a collaborative story (and believe me, I've contributed to a lot of stories in the past so I know what I'm saying) is to tell a story, not role-play it (although there's a sense of that when you incorporate yourself in the story).
We've already established Aragorn as the respected and trustworthy type in the story (being somewhat a part of a legend to the academy which trains agents). How can someone so duty-bound turn sides in a snap??? It's also been established that he's been a top agaent eversince the beginning, with exemplary records.
Besides, he's a key factor in the Valinor thing.
Please take this into consideration. I don't want the story to end up as a tug-of-war. I don't know about everyone but I think the plotline's getting messy enough as it is.

Till then.
