Places

Dubai

Because of the constant construction efforts throughout Dubai, this city became a home to many augmented workers in the 2020s. However, “The Incident” hit Dubai even harder than most cities because of their higher Aug population. The city is still digging itself out from the chaos that ensued during that time.

G.A.R.M.

G.A.R.M. is a research facility in the Swiss Alps. It was intended to be a place for scientists to study glacial samples and gather geological data. However, funding cuts killed off the site in 2025. Since then, the place is supposed to have been dormant.

London

London is where a number of powerful investors are soon to meet regarding the “Safe Harbor Initiative.” If this goes well, it might be a way for Augs to get more space and autonomy for themselves. At least, that’s what proponents of the initiative say.

Panchaea

Panchaea was a deep ocean installation in the arctic. Created and maintained by Augs, it was a sign of mankind’s growing control over the world. However, this was the site of “The Incident.” A signal was sent from here to wreak havoc on Augs across the globe. Many went mad, killing themselves and others in a spree of terror that they couldn’t control. This caused a savage rift between Naturals and Augs that is only getting worse to this day.

Prague

Like Dubai, Prague was a city on the rise before “The Incident.” It had a major population of Augs, and took severe damage when they went insane. Not only did this damage the city’s infrastructure; it also made Prague a hotbed of anti-Aug sentiment. Separate lines, laws, and restrictions now exist for Augs throughout the city. They’re pushed around by police, and looked on with fear and disgust by many of Prague’s citizens.

Rabi’ah

Rabi’ah is a proof of concept for both Nathaniel Brown and the Santeau Group; it’s a 3D printed city that uses fully sustainable energy generation and distribution. It’s the way of the future. Assuming that Rabi’ah succeeds, it will be the template for dozens of new cities in the coming years.

The Utulek Complex (aka “Golem City”)

This complex was constructed during the 2020s to house immigrant Aug workers who were coming into Prague. After “The Incident” this temporary housing area was made permanent. Many Augs were even exiled into the area, called Golem City by the locals. Police presence here is extremely high, and the residents are used to beatings, extortion, and even murder.
