Recruit

You command an NPC who can understand and assist you. They cannot be hostile towards you. You can have them join a fight or perform some other task like watching a door, defending an area, or delivering a message.

If they have access to a Mech or Vehicle they can use this during the task.

They do not follow obviously absurd or suicidal orders, or anything that seriously contradicts their moral or personal codes as decided by the Mediator.

The Mediator plays the part of the NPC. If you deem them successful in their task, you can ask them to join you as part of your Union Crawler crew and go on missions together.

The recruit can pilot any Mech you have access to, and uses their own statistics as set by the Mediator. Once recruited, you control them and are responsible for tracking their information.

Once the recruit has survived a single mission or foray into the wastelands, they can choose a base Pilot Class and learn Abilities as a Pilot. They start with 10 HP and 5 Ability Points. You or the Mediator can choose these Abilities.

You may have a maximum of one recruit at a time.
