Take a look at your list of potential contacts on the crew sheet. Choose one contact who is a close friend, long-time ally, or partner in crime. The GM will tell you about two factions that are impacted by your choice:

• One faction is also friendly with this contact, and you get +1 status with them.
• One faction is unfriendly with this contact, and you get -1 status with them.

At your option, these factions are even more concerned with this contact and so you take +2 and -2 status instead.
