It possible for contact to be one sided. If you contact someone, they must
|
|
also contact you in order to obtain information from you. If you want someone
|
|
to be able to contact you, you can send them a telegram.

Tech and research bleed only comes from contacted countries, so it's in your
|
|

Because of the difficulty of tracking past news, news cannot be used
|
|
with an argument under this option. Once the news is read, it cannot be

a telegram, not sending one.
