Andrew adjusted the last belt on his vehicle as he departed from the market place that rested precisely in the center of town. Everything had to be perfect. A twisted seat belt was Infraction 20631 and resulted in a fine that was far greater than what anyone would want to pay.

It would be many laws to remember, but Andrew preferred this over the lawless society that was once his home. The commander kept things this way. Very few people were allowed admission into the territory, so Andrew considered himself to be lucky.
