Using Contacts
Before getting benefit out of a Contact, you have to get in touch with them. Generally speaking, each Contact has a preferred means of getting in touch with them. Some Contacts have multiple means, sometimes rated by Loyalty - a friend can just drop by, but those who they barely know had best call first (as an example).

Gaining information is the main function of most Contacts.
- Active Knowledge: A Contact rolls an appropriate Knowledge Skill (0) [Social] Test, with a bonus equal to their Connections. Each hit indicates a Threshold of knowledge on a given target.
- Willing to Share: A Contact is willing to give away a number of Thresholds of the information they know equal to the hits on your Etiquette + Charisma [Social + Loyalty] Test.
- Willing to Sell: When a Contact knows more than they are willing to Share, they are usually willing to Sell it. Each Threshold of their knowledge goes for a price of 500¥, reduced by 100¥ per rank of Loyalty (minimum 100¥).
- Asking Around: A Contact that doesn't know something - or doesn't know enough of something - can find out more information by hitting up their own network. This costs 1000¥, reduced by 100¥ per rank of Loyalty (minimum 200¥).
- Asking Around is an Extended Knowledge Skill + Charisma [Social + Connections] Test, with an interval of 1 hour. Hits grant the Contact access to Threshold, but this is separate from the Contact's own Threshold of knowledge - if he already knows 2 Thresholds of the information, he must still cover those with this check.
