Shadowrun What your Contact is Doing when you call

When you call your contact, they're either there or not RAW. This gives you their mood, and current activity, and if they're willing to deal. It is outside the regular test to see if they're available. In most situations, the PC's get help, just not full access. One of the Shadowrun Tools and Plots generators.
