Editing C-Port

''The Sprawl extends in every direction, rising above and falling away, an ever-connected series of tunnels, habitats, and ceramic caverns grown and built into and on top of one another.   Originally, they say, we crawled inside the Arcologies to escape from the destruction we had wrought on our own planet, hiding inside temporary wombs while we learned to solve the problems that tore our lesser structures to the ground and ate away at the edges of our continents.   But things went wrong, as they always do, and instead of moving back outward, we dug inward, building and growing, until the Outside was all but forgotten.   You wouldn't know natural light if it stuck a handgun in your mouth.

''...most folks just sort of give up and decide that Upperlevel is the best they're gonna be able to do for themselves and their families, and they just fade in and become part of the scenery. Get up, do the job, try not to think about what could have been. So, welcome to UpperLevel Security Enforcement. As we longtime ULSEr's like to say, '"Utopia? Look Somewhere Else."

-''...Our contact is a short, nervous man, one of the guys who does repair work in the service ducts between Mezzanine and Upper.  He stumbled across a series of unlisted access hatches and backdoor routes that the Iwakura use for smuggling contraband between levels.  He told his supervisors, who buried the reports; they’re almost certainly on the syndicate payroll.  Then he did a brave thing – he snuck through the very same ducts and came up in Upperlevel, and went straight to ULSE."
