OK, I've just started running the contact missions at last. So I thought it would be easier to start with the four "independent" contacts in Richland and then move to the Elements. However, I figured out very fast that the Chessman and Sister Margaret are referring to some of the Downtown contacts, and I started wondering if I maybe should work for the according contacts there and then move to those in the Slums.
So my question, is there a kind of logical order the contacts should be run after? Can Margaret's and the Chessman's missions only be understood if you get to know Hypatia, Sammy Wein etc, or are they rather an introduction for the Downtown contacts which make their comprehension easier?
Of course, I'd also like to know the same about the Elements and the Spectrum. Is it completely up to the player which contacts to work first or is there a sort of chronology that makes their stories more comprehensible?
It isn't that crucial to me because I make detailed screenshot archives and am able to come back contacts if shoud need it. Still, I'd be happy for some hints.
