[quote=@whizzball1] Tier Five was a recent regulator, yes. There have been three major such regulators—or Systems, as we call them—that matter. Until recently, we were in an Automated System, and before that, the Tier System under the benevolent but mechanically flawed Tier Five, and long, long ago, the small, overworked, and lazy Nobility System. It was between the Nobility System and the Tier System that your story starts getting interesting. [/quote] My story?
