Our Fair City

Each level of the Tower is different. Amenities and environments are tailored to the needs of the Policies who dwell there. Of course the Managerial class requires a greater degree of comfort than tunnel dwelling Policies. How else would our society function? The intricate, careful work of the Vice Presidents, Managers, and other leaders requires a clear head and gentle life. You would not disturb this careful balance by demanding more than is your due, would you Loyal Policy? Of course not. Content Warnings for this episode can be found here .

Shun the Outsider, Loyal Policy. Their un-businesslike conduct and unguided thoughts will only lead you astray.

Everything and Everyone in HartLife has a proper place. When Policies are forced outside of their proper location, all order breaks down. Aren't we lucky to have an upstanding and loyal Policy like Executor Teju Valentine to ensure our safety and security? He will surely do whatever is necessary to make sure we are cared for. Whatever is necessary. Content Warnings for this episode can be found here.
