As my fictional character The Butcher’s given name is Gideon Sheridan after Phil Sheridan, I asked Copilot whether there were any army weapon systems or vehicles named after Phil Sheridan, and found out about the M551 Sheridan tank.

Next thought, are there any in museums that The Butcher might borrow even if it is just a Quaker gun for show? There is one in Pennsylvania where The Butcher fought before being transferred into Ohio. A giant paper weight is cool but not cool enough to transport so far.

So I asked Copilot whether there were any tanks in museums near Cleveland, no…but it told me that I-X Center in Brook Park is an exhibition facility that used to be the plant where the M551 Sheridan tanks were built. It is near the airport so I can make the former plant the site of Cyrus’ napalm and explosive manufacturing.

I think that it would be cool to bring in a real site that manufactured B-29 bombers and later M551 tanks as The Butcher’s weapons manufacturing site during the siege of Pilgerruh.
