Aurum is this industrial and financial capital of the world, and to many of its millions of inhabitants, the poverty capital of the world. This is the year 2133, the world is awash with cut-throat capitalism and economic disparity. Over half a century ago, industrial automation began spilling into the service sector of the economy, putting millions out of work and making the labor of billions obsolete.
Within the last half-century, and in more recent decades, humans made the jump to becoming machines themselves. Implants, advanced prosthesis, body modifications and augments became available to a wide population, more than just the super-rich and military forces that once were the only markets. The world is in the midst of a cybernetic revolution. In order to move up in the world, or even keep up with it, one was left with little option but to become more machine, and less human. The advance of technology demanded that all, even the poor, needed augmentation. Whatever your need, whatever your reason, you chose, or were forced to improve yourself with body modifications. The poor demanded augmentation, and hack-job 'doctors' supplied.
Fate ordained this event tonight, as you and a group of those like you, ailing from the maladies caused by your black market implants, have come together to exact revenge on the man who has sickened you gravely, and hopefully learn enough to cure your sicknesses and injuries or at least live the rest of your days in relative peace. Tonight, you kill the Doctor.
The gang received an anonymous tip leading them to a particular building—in which the Doctor had been operating. Either Elena or Norum brought you here, to end your vendettas quickly. What is known is that he may have some protection inside. It is night in the west side of Hanley Park, and it is raining lightly. Elena and Norum are next to the front door. The building is a poor and dreary state; one might think that is was unused judging by the buildings around it. There are two windows, each on either side of the door. The blinds are sealed on the windows but there is a light inside.
There is little cover on the street, or on the sidewalk and Elena and Norum are preparing to go in, as per the plan. The building's front wall is probably the best cover.
"Get ready and tell me when," Elena addresses the group.
