Madeline Monroe

This is my second setting in a series that celebrates heavy industry. Madeline Monroe is an extremely bright Architect. You are a commercial general contractor. You hate working on projects with Madeline. It just seems the two of you always get into bitter arguments. This high-rise office building has been no exception. Just earlier that morning you both had been in a heated argument over the required downhill slope of plumbing drain lines. As you step out of your office trailer, you hear Madeline's all-to-familiar loud arguing voice. As you step around the corner to see what was happening, you see her in a heated argument with a city inspector. The inspector is insisting that the design of the large door openings on the first floor do not meet Builder's Code for rigidity in an earthquake. Madeline is arguing that they more than meet the requirements. As you step closer, you can see that Madeline is correct. The inspector is threatening to shut the project down until a design change is made. A shutdown like that would cost Madeline's Architectural firm tens of thousands of dollars. Will you stand with your nemesis and help defend a good, solid design? Or will you let her suffer?
