Page 4 – "Chapter 1: THE ASTOR FAMILY" - Interlude
[Signal Intercept – Spoken Monologue over broken bass rumble] Before America had a flag, They had owners. Blood thicker than oceans, Silver bought in barrels, Secrets scrawled in Latin tongues. The Astors — Not kings, but kingmakers. Merchants of blood, Smugglers of empire. This chapter don’t start with a handshake. It starts with a deal written in bone. Chapter One. The Astor Family. Doors closed. Candles lit.
