Crew Member Recruitment Guide:
Serafin and Bliss: These two join automatically; no special actions are required. Serafin is not available for Contracts. No achievements are tied to their recruitment.
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 let her rejoin. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
Yu-Jin: Found on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (order a Wrack four times – 16 Cryo total cost). 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 at the Spindle Core location. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the tasks at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Then, travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet. Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Femi & Nia: You can recruit only one. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. Complete Femi's Contract on Floatsam to ensure Nia's safety. Choose between them at the Contract's conclusion. Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement; recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
Flint: After your first visit to Olivera, undertake the Contract investigating Flint's disappearance. This leads to another Contract requiring quick action to set a trap. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and recruit him. Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This completes the guide to recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
