==== Contacts ====
* The recruiter who let him lie about his age to get in. The guy knew all along, but liked the kid's attitude; Mercer didn't learn this until they served together years later. Now they're well past "mentor-student" and into "old friends." A representative of the military good ol' boy's network. 
* *???? I haven't a clue. Some military contact, I guess?
* The offworlder (Ouriflamme or another?) trade mission officer whom Mercer made a good impression upon as an exchange program aide-de-camp; if this character was doing contact missions then, they are probably part of this very mission now!
* A trusted sergeant or platoon lieutenant from his Special Forces unit, now part of the force assigned to this mission. 
* The noted Dr. [so-and-so], whom he studied Ecology with at the Academy, and who's probably associated with the mission. They've got shared interests.
* Uhhhhhhhh… well, we're going somewhat cinematic here, right? Ex-girlfriend who's a diplomat or government official or something; met her at a League Academy / Embassy joint function. They parted on good terms; he sends letters back when there's the opportunity for a mail packet, but there's no promises or anything. Probably she's using him as an intelligence source, but what the hell.
