Jacob Barrett,
You have been enlisted into the ranks of the Reaper police force. You will be deployed into the Epsilon rank, enforcing law and order in the Omega district. You may or may not be given a weapon to use in your enforcement efforts. Your tasks will be given to you by the Epsilon Chief whose name will not be briefed for security purposes. You will know him by Chief and refer to him so.
As soon as you sign these papers, you waive all rights to the Golden State. You will work for us and do what we say; you will become our property. You will comply with all terms in this paper or you will be demoted or executed based on the severity of the crime. The basic terms are listed below.
1. You have no rights. The Golden State has complete control over Reapers. By signing this paper you waive all your rights away.
2. Your house will be sold to another person of your caste. You will relocate to an area closer to your work location. You may not revisit your old home or leave your appointed position without direct and written permission.
3. You will form no social or emotional attachments with anybody outside of the Reaper ranks. You may not form emotional attachments with anybody in the ranks either; however, social links with other Reapers is permissible to work peacefully together.
4. You will not share information about the Golden State or the Reaper ranks.
5. These are the most basic terms, or the Essential Four. For a complete list of rules, refer to the handbook given to you after signing this paper. The Golden State has all rights to edit, add, or remove any rules in the handbook and this legal binding paper.
As an Epsilon Reaper, you will be given access to very basic information from the Golden State’s database. All of your amenities will be provided for you; therefore you will receive no pay in this rank. You will be given 2 sick days a year, but no personal days. You will work for a minimum of 12 hours a day. If you fail to comply with these terms, or any terms in your handbook, you will either be demoted or executed based on the severity of your crime.
-The Golden State

Jacob signed the paper.
“Here’s the handbook. You are expected to read through it tonight so that you will be prepared for basic training. You will be evaluated for a month based on your performance and adherence to standards. At the end of the month you will either be executed or continue your job as a Reaper. Your book states what time you need to be where tomorrow morning for your first day of work. The address of your new house is on the front cover of the book. See you tomorrow morning for your first day of basic training,” Chief announced. “Please follow me out the door and to the train station. You are expected to walk home; the trains aren’t running anymore,” he added.
Jacob followed Chief out the door, located his new address, and walked home along the train tracks. Once at his new address, James located the single bedroom in the small house, noted the loosened security in it, and went to bed.
