This Storyline has the following additional prerequisites:
- merc with Raised on the Streets tag and no existing sibling tag
The following jobs may be part of this Storyline:
- Sibling Breakout (break a teammate's sibling out of jail)
- new Hacker recruit Undiscovered Digital Prodigy
- merc gains the trait Like Family
This mission can be generated for any merc on your team who does not already have a sibling, and the sibling to be rescued can be either gender. The story line starts with one merc announcing "I need to talk to you, I have a family problem". After some dialog, this leads to a prison break mission "Sibling Breakout". When you accept the mission, the sibling will appear in the barracks as a recruit so you can see their stats. They are a pretty good hacker.
The mission has two stages, and the first stage has two options. The normal approach to the first stage requires a hacker to unlock a door. If you do not have a hacker, or your hacker is injured, there is usually a leverage option to take an alternate path. This is usually longer, so the normal approach is preferred. The second stage is a prison, with the sibling in one cell. You need to hack another terminal to unlock the cell. Then the sibling joins your team for the mission. After the mission you can recruit the sibling to your team.
If you decline the mission, there are consequences, which can be random. After a few days, the merc may leave your team, taking some gear. A few days after that, the merc and the sibling may both re-appear; the merc carried out the mission on their own. The merc may return injured; the sibling may die. Once they return, you can choose to dismiss either of them.
