Story Railroading.

but we want to make a good start to remove the stigma that is story.

By continuing to do more of the same? Disregarding your players for your grand design that most aren't willing participants of? By, even when confronted with truthful information and someone who was willing to just talk about in private, saying it's a lie only for it to be proven right?

People complain that official factions are only doing the bare minimum to make it through, and then everyone outright admits that players, in particular official factions that want to be a driving force in some way, have zero agency. We're not playing our roles, we're along for the ride and reacting as spectators. Why do you think no one really wants to play anymore, and only does the bare minimum? [LN] gave up the ghost because of it, and more are following their course along with them, and before them.
