Any second opinions here? I keep getting the feeling that there's a better way to do this, or that I'm missing something somewhere. And we haven't heard from all the Escort or Diplomacy people yet... ugh, this is complicated.
I don't think we need to have a rapport beforehand.

"someone on the team would have had to either obtain a Rapport with them that is above neutral or someone with the Diplomacy Perk put that NPC into Compliant state"

We put Bonnie the Nidoqueen into compliant with Diplomacy without ever talking to her before, so it shouldn't be a problem to use Diplomacy straight away. :)
