What the Future Holds, CAS Runners for Hire Options

The acrid smell of factories burns your nose as look out onto the river. The landscape is an endless mass of concrete and steel. A few miles west and you would be out of the city, but you wouldn’t know it from here. But on this side of the river, there is nothing but the city. You can feel it everywhere, the city, crowded into crook of the river, its heart beating out a furious pace. This wasn’t the south like some yank would have imagined it, all backwoods with flags hanging in the back of a pickup truck. This was the real South, every bit as gritty as the North. Behind you, a fire breaks out, and you hear the shrill of sirens and fire trucks rush to the scene.

You can see the Ares Complex rising off in the east, shadowing the two other prominent structures: the CATCo and Novatech buildings. Mobius Gentronics has its own complex; no where near on the scale of those monstrosities, across the river. While technically in Oklahoma, its still in the sprawl, and as far as the government is concerned, that’s still Arkansas. They have three clinics in the city, and today you have visited all of them. It’s the last day of your employment, and you’re rather anxious to get it over with. Fifteen thousand, that’s what they are depositing in your account tonight. That’s what they’ve given you every six weeks. Every couple of weeks they would call you in, just like today. You’d visit the various clinics and then head to their main office, where they would take you into a secure room. Your ‘boss,’ a balding man named Theodore, would tell you what he needed, what he knew, and then he would let you go. You never felt you were a sell out; Mobius was too small for you to feel like a sell out.

And the rain falls, its cold against your skin. The snow has been light this winter, but the rain has been more treacherous. The rain freezes quickly, turning to ice on the roads and sidewalks, the clinics have been working overtime due to accidents.

It’s December, Christmas has past and its only two days until New Years. This last job will ring in the New Year for you, and what happens after that? Well I suppose that’s up to you.
