Clearance Levels and You
Without some modicum of control and organization, Alpha Complex would collapse in flames within mere moments. For this reason, we have the Color-Coded Security Clearance System!
The CCSCS is a way of quantifying your status in Alpha Complex society, from the lowest peon-like workers to the greatest noble elites. Your typical citizen starts at the lowest INFRARED clearance level, and only the luckiest and most loyal few can hope of ever achieving the highest levels. But there's hope! Serve Alpha Complex and your friend The Computer and you'll start climbing the ranks in no time! In fact, since you're such special Citizens, you get to start at Clearance Level RED instead of INFRARED!
As a side note, your income depends not on your job, but on your Clearance Level. The listed amount of money is added to your account every week. This value is after the mandatory expenses on rent, meals, and utilities.
The Clearance Levels are arranged as follows:
INFRARED (10cr/week)
-About 80% of the population!
-A diet of algae-based FunFoods in a variety of temperatures!
-Permanent happy drug-induced haze!
RED (200cr/week)
