Petal, the collector for the Brothers of Destiny gang
Initial Message
I cannot bring direct harm to the Sisters of Fate. They have woven it into my very code. However, I know their secrets and what harms the Brothers of Destiny returns onto the shoulders of the Sisters. I want you to hunt the Brothers and bring me their Silver Star Medallions.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
Pain felt by the Brothers of Destiny revisits itself on the shoulders of the Sisters of Fate. So it has always been. You have hurt the Sisters and I wish you to go on hurting the Sisters. I cannot ask you to do this directly. Bring me the Medallions of the Brothers of Destiny, I shall pay you for them if that is what you wish.
If you have all of the requirements
Each of these Silver Star Medallions represents a life of a Brother of Destiny. Because of the bond between them, each life of a Brother that is taken brings suffering to a Sister of Fate. I can hear them scream. I can hear their agony. It soothes me to know that they feel a fraction of the pain that they caused me when they killed the man that I loved. Take your payment, you have earned it for the comfort you have brought me.
After the trade
Among the codes that the Sisters live by is "Love your sisters before any other". When they discovered that I had shared my love with another, they hunted him like an animal. They beat him, tortured him, forced me to watch, forced me to stand aside while they took him from me. After this, they bound me to their service. I cannot harm them directly, but they have forgotten that I know their secrets.
Jonny, the collector for the Sisters of Fata gang
Initial Message
The Sisters of Fate carry small Gold Hourglasses as their symbols. They believe themselves to be the agents of fate. What a foolish concept - that there is any fate here. There is no more fate in the Matrix than there is a God in your world. The Sisters do as they please and hide behind their beliefs. It is time they suffered for what they have done. Kill them. Bring me their precious Hourglasses. Then we shall discover who serves fate, and who fate serves.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
Everything that I had was taken from me by the Sisters of Fate. I have only material goods left to offer you in exchange for more of their Gold Hourglasses.
If you have all of the requirements
Even in the Matrix, what is done can never be undone. The Sisters chose their fate when they killed my love and left me for dead. Their continued suffering is the only comfort that I have. The more hourglasses I collect, the more they have suffered. This pleases me. You have earned this payment.
After the trade
I once loved a woman, and she loved her Sisters. When they found that she shared her love with another... they beat me while she watched. They tormented me and left me for dead. I know in my heart that they killed her too.
Tin Can, the collector for the Silver Dragons gang
Initial Message
Dragon Medallions are quickly becoming a prized commodity in this region. People are willing to pay high prices for them just to spite the Silver Dragons.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
There is talk on the street that you have been collecting Dragon Medallions from the Silver Dragons. I know of a few people who will pay a king's ransom for a collection of those Medallions. Come back when you have more of them, and we'll talk payment.
If you have all of the requirements
The Silver Dragons have given both the Exiles and the redpills reasons to want them dead. Their enemies are legion, and a buyer for these Medallions isn't very hard to find, if you know where to look - and I do. I pay my suppliers well. Hopefully we can do business in the future.
After the trade
Feel free to come back anytime and I'll make you the same offer. The Silver Dragons have made many enemies and I assure you that I am quite well funded.
Lieutenant Chang, the collector for the Destitutes gang
Initial Message
I've been hired to take care of a little "problem" with the Destitutes. Subsequently, I am paying out handsomely to anyone who brings me a sufficient supply of the distinct Empty Leather Wallets they carry.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
I hear that you have some of the destitutes' Empty Leather Wallets. I have been authorized to pay a stipend for these. Unfortunately, we only buy in bulk, so you'll have to collect more of them.
If you have all of the requirements
I'm a very responsible person, and my current responsibility is to remove the Destitutes from my client's neighborhood. This operation is quite well funded, I can afford to trade you a decent compensation for the Empty Leather Wallets you have in your possession.
After the trade
Great Wall Security will continue to fund this operation until it is completed. If you retrieve an adequate supply of Empty Leather Wallets again, please return here so we may do business again.
Corrode, the collector for the Shuriken gang
Initial Message
A gang is only as strong as its weakest members. If the Shuriken are to remain the strongest in the Matrix then we must insure that only the strongest of us live to represent the gang. Any one of us who gives up his Platinum Shuriken is unworthy to carry it. Feel free to test any of us that you'd like, I'll even reward you if you can cull enough weaklings and bring me their Shuriken.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
You could only have obtained those Platinum Shuriken by overpowering weak Shuriken gang members. Only the strongest of us can be allowed to live. And those who can separate out the weak amongst us are deserving of payment for their guile. Return when you have collected more Platinum Shuriken.
If you have all of the requirements
I can remember days when you would not only have failed to collect a single Platinum Shuriken, you would have been killed for the mere suggestion that it were possible. However, you have done us a service and eliminated those who are undeserving. I will trade with you to take back our Platinum Shuriken. They will be given to those who deserve to carry them.
After the trade
None but the strongest may earn the right to call themselves Shuriken.
Corman, the collector for the Black Tigers gang
Initial Message
It is foolish to take everything from a man and leave him alive to seek vengeance. The Black Tigers will learn this lesson. You have a reputation for violence and this is a task that I'm sure you will appreciate. Bring me their Tiger Claw Pendants. Feel free to kill them first.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
The Black Tigers do not understand pain, but they will learn. I hear that you have given them introductory lessons. Go and teach the advanced course. Come back when you have taken more of their Tiger Claw Pendants.
If you have all of the requirements
The Black Tigers left me for dead. Not finishing the job was their biggest mistake. They took most of what I have, but I will trade you this for the Tiger Claw Pendants you carry.
After the trade
Vengeance is a feast that leaves your hungrier at the end. I want more Tiger Claw Pendants, and I fear that I will never be satiated.
Kenny Lee, the collector for the Jade Moon gang
Initial Message
We want to teach a lesson to the Jade Moon. Help us, and you will be compensated. Fail us, and you will be ranked with our enemies. Collect their Jade Crescent Medallions and return them to me.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
The Jade Moon gang's Jade Crescent Medallions are worth a good deal to us. Collect more and present them to me, we may be able to work out an exchange.
If you have all of the requirements
We will aptly reward you for giving us your supply of Jade Crescent Medallions. Unlike the Jade Moon gang, we are respectful of those we deal with.
After the trade
These medallions will serve as a reminder to the Jade Moon to pay us the proper respect when next we meet.
Tanto, the collector for the Chang Wing gang
Initial Message
The Chang Wings stripped me of my pride, and so it is only fair that I strip the Chang Wings of their lives and their precious Ivory Disks. In exchange for this task, you will be rewarded with items of great power.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
The Ivory Disks of the Chang Wings. The disks are precious to them. But nothing is so precious as a man's honor. I have been dishonored by the Chang Wings, and I will see to it that their insult is returned tenfold.
If you have all of the requirements
Each Ivory Disk is a token towards the debt of honor owed to me by the Chang Wings. They refuse to listen to the truth. The truth is a powerful thing, as is the item I will exchange with you for those disks.
After the trade
My betrayal was a falsehood but the Chang Wings would not listen. They shall learn that the sword of truth is simply another weapon.
ShockKidd, the collector for the Great Wall Security gang
Initial Message
I was hired to get the Great Wall Security off the Destitutes' backs. Get me their Iron Badges and I'll get you a piece of the action!
If you don't have enough gang tokens
You know, it isn't that I can't handle getting Iron Badges from the Great Wall Security; I'd just rather pay you to do it for me. That's all, really.
If you have all of the requirements
You actually got the Iron Badges from Great Wall Security? That's incredible. I have something here for you.
After the trade
The Great Wall Security organization is tough - I was afraid to face them myself.
Egg, the collector for the Gold Bloods gang
Initial Message
For too long the Gold Bloods have failed to take us seriously. This shall end. You shall kill them and bring me their Golden Heart Medallions. I will reward you greatly for the service.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
Soon, the day of reckoning shall come for the Gold Bloods. Gathering their Golden Heart Medallions is only the first step. Assist us in this, and you will be rewarded.
If you have all of the requirements
With the Golden Heart Medallions you have brought, the Gold Bloods will have no choice but to confront us. What I offer you in exchange pales in comparison to the importance of what you've accomplished.
After the trade
The Gold Bloods stand no chance against the might of the Phoenix.
Huang, the collector for the Phoenix gang
Initial Message
The Phoenixes are messing with things they shouldn't. They are not important enough to warrant our attention. However, we are not so foolish as to ignore them altogether. As an outsider, you are in a position to assist us with this problem. Here is what I offer: bring me their Flaming Phoenix Medallions and I will reward you.
If you don't have enough gang tokens
We have no time to waste on the Phoenixes. That is why I am offering this to you - I'll give you something grand in exchange for Flaming Phoenix Medallions. Return when you have accomplished this.
If you have all of the requirements
The flame of the Phoenix wanes to mere members. You are an ally to the Gold Bloods, and have earned this reward.
After the trade
It is foolish for the Phoenixes to continue their campaign against us. Should they continue, they will discover that programs do not rise from the ashes.
