Welcome to the town of Gunsight, Arizona Territory — an old mining and farming community, with a population of 20. You're here because Elmer Powell, a diplomatic envoy who was returning to Washington after negotiating a trade agreement with a delegation from Mexico, vanished without a trace and hasn't been heard from in over a month.
All telegraphs sent to the town have not received a reply.
As an agent of the newly-formed Federal Secret Service, your task is to investigate what's causing this.
