Paige Summers and the others were ostensibly on a training expedition, but in reality, it wasn't that simple.
She and Claire Chapman had deliberated for a long time before deciding on their route, which targeted the southeastern region of Astoria.
Astoria's important Foundry was once located there, but it had fallen into decline after the apocalypse. However, it was said to be in relatively good condition. Someone within the Central City Government had once proposed sending The Power Corps to investigate, hoping to bring it back online.
But for some unknown reason, the proposal was ultimately rejected.
When Paige Summers learned of this by chance, her heart began to stir with excitement.
'The Foundry!'
'Think of all the materials!'
'At the very least, I won't have to worry about them anymore!'
That was right. The truth was, she had been constantly plagued by the problem of sourcing materials for Artifact Making.
