um... i can program a new program, just not during the run.(interval is a month)(unwired pg 119)
it can be handled this way
Finding and getting access to an appropriate network requires
an Extended Data Search + Browse (8, 1 day) Test. Once connected
to such a network, the character doesn’t need to find another one
unless the network gets shut down, or if it doesn’t have the program
she’s looking for (both at the gamemaster’s discretion).(unwired p 94)
I could find advanded contacts from runners companion such as(p 126)
9x9
Uses: Political and corporate information, distractions, technological
gear
Places to Meet: Matrix forums, teahouses, clubs
Similar Contacts: Pendragon Underground, White Resistance
Often, the groups that are directly opposed to the ruling
establishment are the ones who have the most information about
them—even better than those on the inside. For obvious reasons,
they also tend to be much more willing to part with that information
if they think it will harm their oppressors (justified or not).
If you’re working a job against your despotic authorities or simply
fighting the Man, talking to the resistance can be a great place to
start. In a closely controlled environment, groups like this can only
survive if they have solid intelligence on their oppressors. The
hardest part in obtaining this information is often proving that
you’re not another mole.
9x9 is an active disruptive force in Hong Kong. Their leadership,
consistent membership, and structures have remained a
mystery to the city’s totalitarian regime. However, their methods
and their causes are well known. They closely focus on destabilizing
the city through an endless series of protests, both violent and
non-violent. Their message has always been the same—enable democracy
and remove corporate power. It’s theorized that they use a
Matrix-based social networking tool to organize their events.

Project Monad
Uses: Matrix development, technomancer rumors, corp policies
Places to Meet: Chat rooms, cybercafes
Similar Contacts: Caerleon Labs, Parashield Research
It’s always nice to cut right to the chase and get information
fresh from the source. When that information deals with the
bleeding edge, there’s nothing like having a connection to a group
of researchers who constantly obsess about the issue at hand. Their
insights are infinitely more valuable than secondhand reports, and
their latest data is always a year or two ahead of the most recent
publications. After all, publication just sets the project team up as
extraction targets.
A workgroup within the Mangadyne division of Manadyne
Corporation, Project Monad tightly focuses on investigating technomancers
and the nature of Resonance abilities. It’s rumored that
their ultimate goal is to develop a hitcher jack that could allow
others to fully experience a journey into the Resonance realms.
However, that development is still a long ways off. In the meantime,
the project concentrates on discerning the physiological
interactions associated with a technomancer’s biological transmitter.
They’ll need to understand that before they can hook any
cyberware up to it.
another option is to have my character remember a contact or have one of his old contact get in touch wanting a favor
