Turing commonly works as a computer repairman and unofficial deck- builder at MFLOP, the computer store of Guru Meditation. As Guru Meditation owns the flat where Turing lives, Guru Meditation pays Turing for his work by letting him stay in the flat for free. Guru Meditation sometimes accepts custom orders for decks, and often lets Turing work on them, thereby freeing up Guru Meditation for other work in and around the shop, both Matrix and RL.

The Toon Squad is the arch-enemy of the Scientists, the Matrix "gang" that Turing is a part of. Members of Toon Squad (or Toonsters, as they prefer to call themselves), always use a comic-book look on their utilities and their personas. Current leader is CyberDuck MM, modeled after the great comic book hero "Donald Duck", known from the 20th Century. Toonsters have a tendency to prefer 20th Century imagery, often from old Tex Avery films or other classics, to that of Renraku-Samurai, and the other corporate comic book heroes.

Turing is a member of the Scientists, one of the more elite Matrix gangs around. The Scientists all have taken their names and on-grid personas from various scientists and mathematicians, often known for their work in the computer sciences. It is rumored that the leader of the Scientists, Babbage-2, is from Echo Mirage. Babbage-2 will not discuss this, and has a habit of crashing anyone too nosy about his person. Other members of the Scientists are among others MirrorGibson (famous for his creative fiction, where he helped shape the Matrix), TurboPascal, SilverADA, Cobol, Eeeeinstein and PlusBasic. The Scientists are very "hacker"-oriented, and they usually know what's going on in the world of computers. The members are also expected to swap programs with any other member of the gang, but can of course charge nuyen or demand favours in such transactions.

The GGGG (or G⁴ is a gang of not very nice persons. To say the least. Mainly stationed in Redmond, the GGGG is a predominantly metahuman gang (trolls and orks mostly) constantly looking for fights. One of their subchiefs, going by the name of Rondo, was once beaten by Turing when Turing tried to run through GGGG turf after his cab was demolished by an anti-vehicle missile while Turing was trying to get to a meet. Rondo was looking for trouble, and attacked Turing without warning when Turing ran by. Although Turing was allowed to get away after badly brutalizing Rondo, Rondo later claimed Turing had been using dirty tricks, particularly the pair of stun gloves Turing used (staring down any gangers pointing out that Rondo had been using a knuckle- knife in that particular fight), and got the big man's approval on calling a hunt on Turing. Needless to say, Turing hasn't been a big fan of the GGGG since, and has had to occasionally defend himself from GGGG attacks.

Turing is reluctant to kill, and usually tries to talk his way out of trouble before resorting to violence. Though by no means a pacifist, Turing has sometimes been mistaken for one.

After a little trip to Bug City (then Chicago), Turing hasn't been very fond of insects. In any form, hairy or not, large or not. As a result, Turing relishes killing bugs, spirit or no spirit, and is seldom found without at least one kind of pesticide on him. Unfortunately, his narcojet pistol with pesticide-loaded darts didn't make it out of Chicago, and Turing is trying to find another to replace it. It is proving more difficult than he thought.
