Gang item:         Ivory-Handles Chisel
Reward:             Victory

First message:
"The Chisels gang thinks that they have dirt on me. I'm sure a few dead bodies will help them to see why they should hand it over. Bring me some of the Ivory Handled Chisels that they use and I'll give you part of the payout that they're looking to get from me."

Second message:
"The Chisels are trying to wring me for $info. They need more motivation to make a deal and a pile of their dead friends is the best motivation I know of. I see you have some of those Ivory Handled Chisels there. You must've already taken a few of them out. Get some more and bring them to me."

Third message:
"You've brought me those Ivory Handled Chisels. Good job, you really saved my *CENSORED*. Those bastards won't ever try to blackmail me again. And just as I promised, here's something that was meant for them."

Closing message:
"The Chisels learned that I do not like to be embarassed. They may try again, never underestimate the persistence of the stupid."

Gang item:         Red Bandana
Reward:             Brightflash Auto

"The Warriors have been around for far too long. I got some guys poised to move in and take over this place and they just need a little moral boost to get ready for it. Go on a little killing spree and bring me back those Red Bandanas."

Second message:
"Get me some more of those little Red Bandanas you got there and I'll buy ‘em offa you. I need to motivate my boys before we attack. Grab me more Red Bandanas. Do me a favor and take the heads out of them first."

Third message:
"Alright, these Bandanas should really help out. I'll show ‘em to my boys and they'll know what a bunch of chumps the Warriors are. Take this pistol, just make sure you don't use it on any of my boys when we move in."

Closing message:
"Anytime now. We'll be ready to move in anytime."

Reward:             Caution

First message:
"I'm with the Runners. Rumor has it that the Sleepers are gonna hit us soon, but we need time to get ready for them. We can demoralize the Sleepers if we make them think that there are more of us than than there are. Start killing as many as you can and bring their Ankhs to me."

Second message:
"The Sleepers are gonna attack any day now. You've done a good job takin' ‘em out from what I hear, but not good enough. I need more Ankhs if our plan is gonna have a prayer of working. I'll have something for you if you can get ‘em."

Third message:
"You have Ankhs from the Sleepers? Bitchin'! I think this just may work out for us. With the Sleepers worried about who's going to get it next, they may call off their attack on us. Take this, you've earned it."

Closing message:
"Everything has been quiet from the Sleepers. Maybe they really did give it up."

Reward:             Jokah's Beanie

First message:
"We have a demonstration planned for the Runners but we can't afford to have any of our own people injured while collecting what we need for the show. Bring me Silver Anklets from the bodies of dead Runners."

Second message:
"I'll have a use for those Silver Anklets if you can get me enough of them. Come back with more of them."

Third message:
"Oh, this is good. We will send these Silver Anklets to the leaders of the Runners to announce our attack. It will be a glorious demonstration of our might. As for you, here's a reward for helping us. You will not be forgotten when the Sleepers rule the streets."

Closing message:
"Soon the day of reckoning will come to the Runners!"

Gang item:         Snakeskin Pouch
Reward:             Panacea

First message:
"The Pit Vipers are a nest of backbiting traitors. They need to learn that one cannot simply abandon one's loyalties. Kill them. Don't stop killing them until you collect their Snakeskin Pouches. Then return to me for payment."

Second message:
"The Pit Vipers must learn that no one walks away from one's loyalties. I see that you have been busy collecting their pouches. Come back with more Snakeskin Pouches, and all will be well."

Third message:
"Excellent. This will not go unnoticed. The Pit Vipers will learn that betrayal has a price. And, I'm assuming, so do your services. Here is your payment. Use it well."

Closing message:
"Loyalty is the most valuable trait one can possess. One man's loyalty is more valuable than all of the $information in the Matrix."

Reward:             Hacker Glasses

First message:
"The Wharf Rats have a strange process that alters the RSIs of new initiates. I wish to study this process, and I'm willing to reward you for providing me with samples. Bring me their Rat Tails."

Second message:
"I need more Rat Tail samples if I'm going to have any hope of puzzling out the code that the Wharf Rats integrate into their new recruits. Come back to me when you have them all and we'll make a deal."

Third message:
"Excellent, this should be all of the samples I need for my next battery of tests on the code of the Wharf Rats gang. You, in the meantime, are probably interested in a reward in exchange for these."

Closing message:
"Soon I will be able to reverse engineer the secret code that the Wharf Rats introduce into their members."

Done.

Some of the collectors are harder to see because they were conveniently taken at night. I'm probably going to replace them with daylight ones.

**RemagDiv**

Dang dude, props for documenting all that!

zeroone506

Thanks! Also for this one SMILEY

**Alphaea**

Schweeeeeeet. Great job with the compiling of that data. The live event threat is great as well. SMILEY

**RemagDiv**

Yeah, I actually used that to recap the past 2 chapters.

That definitely needs to be stickied!

**FrozenFyre**

This is great work zero (btw d'you mind me shortening you're name? zero isn't necessarily the best nickname- but I can never remember the numbers at the end of your name!!) I'm really impressed that you managed to get through the whole lot- that's a lot of shooting to do. As I'm doing my own research on the districts, on the gangs in particular, having this resource is really helpful in putting together a complete picture of the gangs without having to spend ages killing them!!

If you ever get bored and decide to go through it again, you might wanna check the details panel of some of the reward items- I recently got the QGun while trying to get Jane the ripper to spawn and it had an interesting little bio

Once again- good stuff!!

zeroone506

I have them stored in my mailbox, so maybe at some point.

Doing that is really too much mindless farming for little text portions, and I thought no one should be forced to go through that unless he wants the items. Glad it's helpful.

PS: The numbers are the most meaningful part in this stupid nick, but zero looks less ludicrous, so nvm SMILEY

**Alphaea**

Putting this up the top because I'm afraid it'll get lost in the shuffle. There's some really interesting information in this text and gives some insight into the local gangs and their rivalries.
