Today was a weird day at work. One of my colleagues, Li Huan, had a nervous breakdown and fainted while working on his computer. He was acting weirdly in the last few weeks, he even didn't showed during the monthly speech of our manager. He looked outside from this world. I was like the only one who showed a little interest for him and his behavior. But today suddenly, he collapsed on his desk and stopped breathing. everyone panicked and called for help. two of my co-workers tried to revive him while our office manager called the Company medics. Some of us were scared and worried. Li Huan was a normal guy and a perfect co-worker. He didn't deserve this. But then, something strange happened. A group of men in black suits and sunglasses entered the office. They said they were from the EAS security teams so i hided my face with my hand acting shocked but then they had token Li Huan body and put him inside a black sack. They didn't show any identification or explain anything. They just grabbed Li's body and his Computer and left. After they left we had a sense of confusion but our Office Manager named Hu Xia calmed us down saying that our work cannot be spared for some medical issues. So we were back to work behind our boxes, some of us was crying or some really did not even cared for Li.
I want to explain to some of you readers from the future what actually i do in my work: My role is to evaluate the projects that are sent to me by the main engineers and decide whether to approve them or reject them. My job is very important and delicate, because I have to make sure that the projects are compliant with the standards and specifications of the company and the clients. I also have to check the feasibility, functionality, quality, and safety of the devices. I have to use my knowledge, skills, and experience to make the best decisions. I work on my pc, where I have access to a software that allows me to view, analyze, and test the projects. I cannot communicate with my colleagues or ask for their opinions or suggestions. I have to deal with different types of projects, such as sensors, circuits, robots, cameras, etc. I find my job very interesting and challenging, because I always learn something new and I can contribute to the innovation and improvement of the products. However, my job is also very stressful and demanding, because I have to meet the deadlines and the expectations of the company and the clients. I have to be careful and responsible, because my decisions can have a big impact on the success or failure of the devices and the company, everyone in my office do the same but actually i am the best on this floor. The office is very very clean and have white metallic walls, inside a tinier office there is our Office Manager that i guess is my only friend, he is 19 and it's quite young for his position inside the EAS.

Our monetary system could look different from yours, we get paid with 1000 credits every month because we are regular employee, the more you are up in the EAS hierarchy more credits you get, with those credits you can buy houses or electronics tools while for food or water you need a special card that substract credits from your wage, my current wage with the card is 800 credits for month then if i pay the rent for my apartment i have 100 credits for myself and 200 credits just for buying food. I can barely afford to buy enough food to survive, and most of the food I eat is synthetic and unhealthy. I don't remember the last time I had a fresh and natural meal. You see, food is very expensive and scarce in this State, especially for people like me who work for a low salary. The prices of food is decided by the board of rations of the EAS. The company control the food supply and distribution, so if the company is angry they can even decide to block the food distribution. Sometimes when i hear old people talk they say that back after the end of the 2042 war food was everywhere and everyone lived in great luxury, i guess they really miss those times.
