The Commuter Walkthrough
This is the first Faction quest for the Iconoclasts, and it's picked up in Amber Heights, Monarch. You can meet Graham Bryant and Zora Blackwood at their command center which is the largest building in Amber Heights, to the right side of your map.
Go inside and talk to Graham, then accept to pick up the delivery to begin the quest. Having Vicar Max on your party during your meeting with Graham can yield some interesting dialogue!. There's also a terminal in a nearby room that has some information on what transpired between Graham and Sanjar Nandi. You can also learn that he finds Zora to be materialistic, since she's focused on the needs of the body such as shelter, health and food.
Head to the building near the one you're in and talk to Zora to get her take and find out what happened at the ruins. You should then head to Bayside Terrace Warehouse to continue the quest. As you arrive, you'll meet Niles, who is blocking access. You can Lie (55), Persuade (55) or Bribe him for 2877 bits to get access. The SubLight crew that was hunting Carlotta will leave and you can continue the quest. You can kill them, but you will gain negative Reputation with SubLight Salvage & Shipping. An easy way to do this is to head into the first building on the left past Niles and Hack (55) the terminal to vent gas and kill everyone.
Approach the locked door at the edge of the facility and use the intercom. She will open the door and you can go in. There's a Vending Machine inside if you need it!. Talk to Carlotta, she will give you Printing Press Parts and you'll earn 7500xp. You can then ask her some questions about what happened, and you can opt whether you want high-capacity data cartridges, or food and medicine (choosing this unlocks future quests for Zora).
Food and medicine is recommended since it unlocks certain options in future quests related to the Iconoclasts from Zora (there is no game-related benefit to data cartridges). Pick the one you agree with and earn 7500xp.
Return to Graham and you'll find him arguing with Zora about the Van Noys, a unit of the Iconoclasts that is MIA. Inform Graham that you got his rollers, and food and medicine if that was your choice. You'll receive 7500xp and Zora will ask when the next drop is. Inform her that Sanjar has made it illegal to trade with the Iconoclasts. Graham will say they must spread the word, and it unlocks the next quest: Pay for the Printer.
This completes the quest, granting you 15000xp, 2900 Bit Cartridge, Iconoclast Apostle Helmet and Iconoclasts Reputation.

AnonymousYou can sneak past NIles on the left, then go into the left building and trigger the gas to kill the guards. Turn the gas back off so you can go back outside safely. This leaves lootable bodies and DOES NOT give negative reputation with Sublight.

I think I chose the food and medicine but it registered as the other?

You seem to also be able sneak in along the left side, just did not try as didn't want to effect the rep of SubLight faction. The bribe seems to be based off of some stat as mine changed every time I loaded so see the other options.
If you do Sublight-based quests first, Niles will recognize you, and you have the option of telling Niles that you'll put in a word with Catherine for him. This seems to make him and his team leave without any faction hits, and without any skill checks required (possibly a bad thing if you want xp for that).
