Overview
Life in District 5 is as hard as in any other district. EndMed and Carbine Technologies are pulling strings, and the local government is barely helping, if at all. The three prominent gangs causing all the trouble are Curb Stomp Ring, 1023 Kids, and Bear Tribe, each with its respective territory within the district's winding and twisting streets and alleys.
Media streams and VR cafees do their best to distract from District 5's problems but are only a bandaid for the true festering wound.
In the darker corners of the district, Operators may stumble upon the Dark Market, a place of shady deals and rumors.
Making ends meet is incredibly difficult in District 5, and a stable business can close up shop without warning. Missing person reports run rampant at the local enforcement office, but no one seems to care outside the immediate family. Jobs are plenty for Operators willing to risk their lives. Are you one of them?

Annie has been around for a year or two in the fixer scene.
