The following jobs may be part of this Storyline:
- Heartbreak Rush (Plant fake evidence on a Matrix host)
- Heartbreak Fake (LEGWORK: fabricate a luxurious lifestyle for a target)
- eventually, new Hacker recruit Framed UNA Hacking Specialist
This story line has one hack-only mission, one legwork, and several follow-up timeline events. You will be able to recruit a new hacker.
The story line starts with a comment from Blur, "A Warner-Braun corporate VP needs our unique brand of services". The job is to frame a UNA hacker who is causing problems on a research project. This requires a hack-only mission "Heartbreak Rush" to create some fake data, and then a legwork mission "Heartbreak Fake" to plant it. The legwork auto-repeats with a 5 day period until success, so the assigned merc could be unavailable for up to 15 days. A few days after it finishes, you get a dialog which results in a substantial trust and influence bonus for the contact.
A few weeks after it finishes, there is a subsequent dialog from Blur, "Do you remember that UNA researcher we got canned?" It turns out she is down on her luck. For a payment of $20,000, you can pay off her debt and then she is available as a recruit.
