You live in Montbray, a city still scarred by the Wagner Firearms scandal. FBI investigations, political arrests, and factory shutdowns hollowed out both the economy and public trust.

Then McArdle & Dowling arrives.

The Detroit based defense company relocates to Missouri with strong state support, promising jobs through missile and artillery production. CEO Jeff Roberts confirms factories will reopen in Montbray, including the old Grumman plant. Acting mayor Randy Hoffman embraces the move, hoping to keep the city afloat.

In a bar that night, you hear cautious optimism mixed with fear. Some believe Montbray is recovering. Others expect history to repeat itself.

You meet Kylie, a local who took part in the anti Wagner protests. She is calm, skeptical, and unconvinced by promises she has heard before.

As the night ends, Montbray stands at a crossroads.
This could be renewal, or the beginning of another collapse.

And you are already inside the story.
