So the GM is obligated to put them in your next session if you roll your FOA.

You might not have to spend anything though, SE suggests it could just be given as a RP reward from GM, kind of like bonus CP that they've chosen how to spent for you.

If it was a third party rather than the PC who coerced them.

Seems unclear if summonable allies still count as social due to "converts from social" phrase.

If that were the case, you could always afflict Modular Abilities and use the social modifier from Powers, unless that converted MA into a social advantage.

What if you were just friends with whoever the zombie used to be? Or they were your old employer/employee?

Or maybe neither: maybe necromancers just get fond of their newly created minions.
