CONCERNING THE CREDIT SYSTEM
In this structure, credit has the appearance of capital, but is, in fact, debt. It is therefore an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation population. This is war, disease, and criminality containment measures. The total goods and services represent real capital, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent economic capacitance, but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive, it represents the introduction of economic inductance and constitutes notes of indebtedness. Population reduction measures are therefore the balancing of the system by the elimination of the true creditors (the public which has learned to exchange true value for inflated currency) and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and the regeneration of those resources.
The application of shock tests in economic engineering involves ‘shocking’ the prices of commodities, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The result of these echoes is where we discover the psycho-economic structure of a given segment of society. It is through this process that differential matrices are discovered that define the family household and make possible its evaluation as an economic industry. Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated, through this society becomes a well-trained animal with its reins under the control of a sophisticated social energy book-keeping system.
Eventually, every individual element of the structure comes under computational control through personal preferences and identified consumers (by use of their personal credit number crossed with regulated labeling of consumer goods using hash numbers).
SUMMARY
Advertisement
Economics is only a social version of a natural energy system. Because of the distribution of wealth and the lack of surveillance and consequent lack of data, this field has been the most difficult for Directory systems to codify.
Since energy is the key to all activity it follows that in order to attain a monopoly of energy, raw materials, goods, and services and to establish the New Way to its full extent, it is necessary to have a first-strike capability in the field of economics. In order to maintain our position, it is required that we have absolute first knowledge of the science of control and the first experience in economic engineering.
In order to achieve such sovereignty, we must at least achieve this one end: that the public, the Old Families especially, do not and will not make similar connections between systems or learn to apply such knowledge.
This is becoming increasingly difficult to control because more and more of the Houses and merchants are hiring the newly popular professional “Movement Analysts” to create and apply mathematical models for the management of those businesses.
It is only a matter of time before the new breed of private analysts will catch on to the work begun by the Directory in the First Era. The speed with which they can communicate any warning to the public entirely depends upon how effective we have been at controlling the media, subverting education, and keeping the public distracted with matters of no real importance.
[CONCLUDED}
The letter I included for you this week was the last of the letters initially sent to me in my first year in my position. I was twenty-six and hadn’t really taken the Directory’s presumed strength to be that serious. This letter shook me, and I sat on my floor to read them all over again. It took me nearly three weeks before I could sleep through the night again without building paranoid webs of what story my daily life would tell someone. It was the first time I personally felt afraid of the Directory. Being a part of it didn’t help then and still doesn’t.

This week has been a nightmare. I’ll give you a taste of it before going into the big story that no one will ever hear.
My week kick’s off with a former Highland queen who has been supplementing her meager dividends by working for a high-end escort company several times per month.
A current Very Important Old Name individual is rumored to have numerous video cameras around his estate to record house guests, parties, and intimate encounters without the knowledge of most of the participants.
A solitary but recently prominent Highlands scion spends one night a week as a boy toy/slave to a very expensive dominatrix.
Two Midland Old Names, both married and not to each other, have been caught having sex in public by the Watchers; not once, not twice, but three times within a four-week period.

Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.

But what happens when the world comes to an end at the behest of something called 'The System'? And maybe The 'Voice' wasn't as imaginary as he thought as it had been telling him this day was coming for a year. This story is not for the light hearted, at least that is the direction I have it going.
