	==Acquiring Contacts==		==Acquiring Contacts==
	To acquire an NPC as a long-term contact, the character must spend one or more contact points to establish the relationship. This must occur the first time the character gains a level after their initial meeting of the potential contact. The number of contact points that must be invested depends on the contact’s capabilities and the depth of the connection the character wishes to establish, is shown on table below. For deeper relationships, the NPC’s disposition toward the character must meet a certain minimum level at the end of the job or mission during which the character first encounters them (as shown in the table).
