Crime in Me'tra

Crime.

Our society's great constant. That which started as a small infection quickly mutated into a vicious disease that preyed upon the weak and gullible.

Crime's rapid development inevitably birthed our justice system to curtail the mass populace into adherence. An adherence disguised as law and order; a moral standing so that all can live in harmony and peace. And thus that control grew more powerful and the people willingly surrendered their freedoms for the illusion of security and protection.

As our nation expanded and developed crime persisted, lingering in the shadow of our monstrous city buildings, thriving among the less fortunate and spreading like a sickness throughout humanity. Crime's corroding nature has even seeped into the law and order that was first designed to keep it at bay. Our justice system has now become but a tool for crime to use to decay civilisation.

As an officer of the law, in the service of this great city of Me'tra, I try to stem the unending force of crime, but I am only one person. What could I possibly hope to achieve?
