Recruitment Dialog

(The recruit may be introduced by anybody on the team who does not already have a sibling)

Sibling: I need to talk to you, <CK>. I have a family problem, you've got to help me.

CK: What is suddenly so urgent, <sibling>?

Sibling: It's about my sister, <recruit>. That idiot signed up to die for KEMCO Salvage Co.

Face: Not on one of their salvage barges?

Sibling: Exactly that.

CK: Why didn't your sister just ask you for some money?

Sibling: We don't talk much.

CK: Signing up with KEMCO... they don't just let you quit.

Face: KEMCO is infamous for sweeping up the desperate below street level. You sign up, you work the barge and you die. Then somebody in your family gets a little life insurance cash.

Sibling: I've got to take care of this, otherwise my sister is dead.

Face: Family aren't friends, you don't get to pick them. You know? But why is <recruit> suddenly signing up?

Sibling: I guess my father needs some medi-op, always had bad lungs. So <recruit> signed up.

CK: You two really don't talk, do you?

Sibling: I know, I know. Neither of them told me about it. But I need your help, CK.

Make your choice and continue:

• Going on one of those barges is a death sentence.
• We don't talk much, but this sure as hell doesn't have to be the price to save my father.
• KEMCO may only be B-tier corp, but they still don't let their citizens desert.

CK: Has your sister asked you for help?

Sibling: Once that salvage barge takes off for Chicago, there isn't any coming back. My kid sister is young and dumb and going to get killed for nothing - that's all I could see. No, <recruit> never asked but that didn't slow me down.

Sibling: I shouldn't have but ahh...

Face: Oh <sibling>, what did you do?

Sibling: I tried to boost her, real easy like -

CK: You idiot -

Sibling: <recruit> just walked right out of the gate, just that easy. I was waiting to pick her up.

CK: B-tier or not, they don't do low security. Didn't get far, did she?

Sibling: Not far at all. And now she is locked up in a prison inside the training facility.

CK: You're not leaving us a lot of good options, <sibling>.

Make your choice and continue:

• <recruit> has made a choice, why would we interfere?
• Are we going to have a problem if we can't spring <recruit>?
• What would your <recruit> do with another shot at freedom?

CK: What would your <recruit> do with another shot at freedom?

Sibling: Maybe sign on with us? <recruit> got her jack at age 8 and she has been skating IC ever since. You know she is a skilled hacker because no corp put her in chains. Then she went all sacrificial and joined one. We could always use another trustworthy matrix cowboy, right?

CK: That doesn't change that you're asking us all to take a risk on this.

Dynamite: I know firsthand what it is like to lose a sib. We need to do something while we still can and rescue <recruit>.

<recruit>'s full recruit record can be see in the Roster so we can best consider our options if we Delay.
