William could have connection with;

#1: Jaelah could be on the same assignment together
#2: Garvin work together during advanced training
#3: Spicoli perhaps as an agent he aids in the escape after the botched mission
#4: Spicoli perhaps the Marines provided some training to local law enforcement
#5: Walter served with William on a planetary assault

Terry Edit: I removed the word term to avoid confusion.

[joertexas]

William could have connection with;

Term 1: Jaelah could be on the same assignment together

These are in reverse order, so this would have happened within the last four years - I think.

Correct. The only way to line it up with different lengths of service was to reverse things. #1 is the most recent.

As the Mod in the forum, I have the power to edit all the posts. I didn't intend to use it, but I'll remove the word term from the original post to avoid confusion.

[Tiglath]

Garvin could have connections with any bounty hunter during the last two terms e.g. meeting William on a merc training course.

Maybe in #3 (a decade ago) Jaelah Shugilamar worked the theft in transit of "Kleptopatra's Neddle" as exhibits from the Maguffin Museum toured the Spinward Main? Perhaps Keith Anderson (Name Changing) then found himself "sciencing" that mysterious artefact of dubious provenance... well, someone was going to!

Alternatively she runs across the wake of The Network - a little known criminal "crew" who, apparently against type, seemed to have demolished a human trafficking ring.

Arkar Olsonsmith meets a young Garvin currently cage fighting in the dangerous criminal underworld (who knew it was so small?)

Terry Edit: Removed word term to stamp out possible confusion on the reverse order of the events.

Jaelah was on Collace at the time - would that work out?

Don't let distance hold you back. We can handwave some long distance travel for at least one of the characters in any match up.

I'm good with that. I haven't picked a homeworld for Garvin but one of the border naval base worlds (say Mille Falcs or maybe Mertactor - which is really nice) would mean he's not wandered too far. However, since the grand larceny was in transit he was likely stowed away somewhere in a cargo hold so the long travel is inferred. His Electronics 1 was derived from setting a quite complicated alarm clock...

Arkar Olsonsmith meets a young Garvin currently cage fighting in the dangerous criminal underworld (who knew it was so small?)

Great, Akar was running a con with a cage fighter, pumping him up and getting bigger and trying to get a big shot.

He had a agreement with the fighter to throw a fight and he would split the profit with him.

Arkar became friendly with the fighters, learning some things (he got melee and deception that term) and met Garvin?

good?

Approved! Both of you pick a suitable new skill at level 1 or upgrade a suitable skill you already have by 1 (the benefits of forming a connection are a new or improved skill). You each get to decide what that skill is for yourself, though I have to approve it here.

That's one connection for Arar and Garvin. You can each make one more with different characters. Don't forget scientist Keith as an option.

[ateno]

Arkar could have met Keith Anderson (Name Changing) during his :

#2 (Scholar) Your work leads to a considerable breakthrough. Automatic promotion.

Arkar performed a great service during this term and could have been a peripheral part assisting the breakthrough in a small way.

That was when Arkar was a scout, Coinich. How can he help with the breakthrough?

Given the background of the situation, it has to be Gambling - 1

She worked in Prime Arcology, located on the planet's prime meridian, about a third of the way around the planet east from Collace Downport. The size and layout are similar, with all of the Upspire and Downspire intrigue.
