While he can no longer escape it, the Commander still distrusts the Matrix. Anything even remotely related to what he considers sensitive information (GM discretion) must be handled via in-person meets. The stores such data in paper files only. No matter how high Loyalty you have with him, he won't budge on this. It's for your own good. +
Concrete's not always been solid, loyalty speaking. When working with Concrete, GMs may perform a loyalty test. If the runners lose, there are run complications due to working with her. +
While Corf is Awakened, he is also a minecart. He can only travel via rail and ley lines (he manifests spectral rails when travelling via ley lines that don't follow railways) +, Corf is just a minecart. He can't take much more than 3 or 4 runners and their gear, and even that seems like it shouldn't fit; he's already bigger on the inside. Magic, man, it do weird stuff. +
Cornelius has many friends on the otherside and does not deal with those who would force anyone to do anything against their will. If Cornelius learns of any Bias against race or metatype or that a runner has negative astral rep then he will refuse to make deals with them until they lose their Bias or are able to heal their astral rep. +, Cornelius lives in New Orleans and his cartel is based with the Southern CAS and Northen Atzlan. Any services or gear aquistions out of these regions will take twice the time to complete outside of the CAS as Cornelius has to send the gear from New Orleans to Seattle. +
Loyalty can only be raised 1 at a time, and each raising requires the character to first complete a run on her behalf. +, Lem has no loyalty to the Haven. She's got better things to do. She never offers a service for free or reduced price. If you need it faster or better, you pay more--it doesn't matter WHAT you're doing or what your loyalty is. +
Crazy Otter will not admit to being awakened even if you successfully assense him, and will not provide direct magical support from either sorcery or conjuring - that is unless your have Loyalty 5+ with him. He's constantly masking as mundane with 18 dice (6 magic, 6 initiate grade, 6 power focus). +
Creer, despite all his genius suffers in relation to attention: He needs to be the center of it, has very little of it, and is willing to throw money at his current obsession. If he finds out your job is related to his current obsession (6 on 1d6), he will be eager to assist, but he will want every scrap of information. Failure to uphold this will result in the contact being burned. +

The crew are constantly in need of funds, and just don't have time to help if they aren't making money. Every time this contact requests payment in nuyen, the price is doubled. +
Services may take longer. Every time the contact provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number. +, The cost to upgrade this contact's loyalty is doubled unless the character has either visible cyberware or the Distinctive Style quality. Loyalty costs are also doubled for any character with a Corporate or Corporate Limited SIN. +, The reckless and hateful tend to get break things around them, and get squashed at a higher rate than usual. Any bad news counts double when dealing with Croak. Notoriety has a double penalty when dealing with him: subtract twice the runner's Notoriety from any check he is asked to do. +, …
Only characters infected with HMHVV Strain I can raise Cynthia's loyalty past 2. Increasing loyalty on Cynthia costs twice as much. +
Jazzy talks and acts quite loud. If, on a run where you used Jazzy's help, you would gain one or more points of Notoriety or Public Awareness, you instead gain that many points plus one. +

always make an Availability Test for this Contact with their Connection +3 than normal. +
D'Lirious has a rap sheet a mile long from a life of questionable decisions and as such tends to get hassled in areas that the cops care about. As such, he refuses to provide services outside of Redmond and Puyallup for anyone below loyalty 4. Even then, services from D'Lirious outside of those areas cost 4 times as much, for the increased risk and cost of having to pick up a fresh burner SIN. +
DC Metzger is a new man, and not a better one. The self-destructive side may push him into the shadows but like a frightened animal he’s desperate not to get himself into a trap. Loyalty can never be raised above 1 without a special run, and can never be raised beyond 3. Metzger isn’t in this dirty business to make friends. +, DC Metzger is spiraling emotionally but he’s no idiot. He leads the Division of Investigations for frag’s sake. Metzger will never, ever meet a character in person and will only connect if the character contacting him is using a burner commlink. And he can tell. Don’t ask how. +, Metzger might be spiraling when you call. He's got a lot of sick days and plenty of reasons to take them. Roll a 1d6: on a 1, he's not contactable for 24 hours. +

Daisuke is still a corpo, and that means he won't issue runs that go against Shiawase's wishes. If you go in a run that hinders Shiawase in a purposeful way, roll a 1d6 subtracted by how public the run is (to GM's discretion); if you roll a 1 or below, he will remove you as a contact. +
Dakota won’t work against any members of the NaN. +, Dakota hates the UCAS. She will interface with UCAS Corps and UCAS SINners on a professional level, but it never goes beyond that.
For anyone with a UCAS or Ares SIN Increasing Loyalty with this contact requires the following equation: New Rating x 4 CDP. +
The GM rolls in secret a 1d6. If they roll a one the contact will say, with complete confidence, that they will do the request or that they have the right information. They will then flake out or their information will be wrong. They will say they got the gear then accidentally sell it to another person. +
Translate the current time to EST. If you are attempting to call him in the middle of the night (11PM to 5AM, EST), increase the threshold of his availability check by 6. +
