Holographic projection advertisements flashed among the skyscrapers, promoting the great achievements of the Crimson Council and the order and prosperity brought about by the "ban". The portraits of wanted dangerous elements were scrolling on the huge electronic screen, with high bounties marked below. In the sky, patrol drones equipped with pulse weapons hovered like falcons. Scarlet scanning beams swept across the streets from time to time, casting fleeting spots of light on the pale faces of pedestrians.

They wore uniform gray-colored clothing and wore essential identity rings on their wrists - they were both passes and monitors, and they were also the concrete shackles of the "Crimson Ban" system.
