I'd be happy to make some background links with folks.<br/><br/>Having them outside the military for Hardison though is sort of unlikely. She's young and her adult life, thus far, has pretty much been devoted to the military and it's machines, particularly the complexities of it's FTL drives, she just not likely to have made many friends outside of her area of expertise.<br/><br/>Cass on the other hand is more social, and has more free time when she's not posted out on a ship so she would be much easier to make connections with, either from med school or just having met on some planet she'd been posted to between ship-board missions.
