You play Robert Moore, a mill owner riding out with your overseer Joe Scott to defend a wagon of new machinery from men bent on destroying it. At the bridge, masked frame-breakers smash the delivery while a driver lies wounded in the road; William Farren, a worker who refuses to hide his face, helps you carry the man clear though the machinery is lost. At dawn, Caroline Helstone meets you at the mill gate with harder news: the vicar has already sent for soldiers.
