I don't mean this as a cheap shot, but it was glaring at me so I had
to do something.
'ELCHEON' is a horribly mangled form of the real word, which is
'echelon'.

As to why Echelon Two's can't check up on Echelon One's, well, think
of it this way...do you, as a normal citizen (presumably in the USA)
get to check up on the legal standing of immigrants who are getting
their green card, or those who are new to citizenship? Nope. Officials
of various departments can, however. As an Echelon Two you are basically
the grunt of a sect (or sectless depending on the class). Since you
are the grunt, you don't get the benefits of the Sect as much as an
Echelon Three and above. (We'll consider Ech. 2's as police cadets.
They are in their sect, so to speak, but they're not yet "in" the
sect, if you get my meaning.)

It's all making perfect sense to me, but my ramblings might be
confusing you further. Maybe an Imperial Immortal will clarify a bit
more if you need it.
