====== Contacts ======

You know people all over.  When you start making contact with your network, the amount of information you can dig up is impressive.  Rather than friends you can rely on to help you, like [[allies|Allies]], Contacts are largely people whom you can bribe, manipulate, or coerce into offering information.  You also have a few major Contacts — associates who can give you accurate information in their fields of expertise.  You should describe each major contact in some detail before the game begins.  In addition to your major contacts, you also have a number of minor contacts.  You don’t need to detail these various “passing acquaintances” before play.  Instead, to successfully get in touch with a minor contact, you should roll your Contacts rating.  You can reach one minor contact for each success.  Of course, you still have to convince them to give you the information you need, assuming they can get it.
