Crew Member Recruitment Guide:
Serafin and Bliss: These two join automatically and are always part of your crew. No achievements are tied to their recruitment. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts.
Juni: Initially a temporary crew member on Hexport. Recruit her permanently by visiting Helion Gate after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. Complete the subsequent contract and agree to her return. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
Yu-Jin: Found on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (requires ordering a Wrack four times, costing 16 Cryo). Complete his contract to recruit him permanently. Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
Luis: During the Aphelion Beacon contract, choose to leave Yu-Jin behind to recruit Luis. Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
Kadet: Encountered on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the subsequent tasks, then visit the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet. Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Femi & Nia: You can only recruit one. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. Complete Femi's contract on Floatsam to safeguard Nia, then choose between them. Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement; recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
