Back to the Dawn

Fairly simple but can consume a lot of resources. This achievement is for getting back together with your ex-girlfriend Maggie over the phone.

Can't quite remember when you have free access to ring her, but its very early on. Also be aware, not every phone call costs $100 (which is what I initially thought). Only the first one does, all others cost £10.

Follow these steps to raise your relationship with her. The target number is between 72-96 (I'm going to assume 90) as that's the jump I made from not being able to reconcile, to being able to. In order to raise this number you have to complete a series of steps:

1. Write a love letter to maggie. For this you will need paper (easily found), and a pencil or pen. Pens are much rarer in the game and therefore more expensive so hard to get early on. A pencil is perfectly fine and whilst you can buy them from Billy the Guard in the Main Hall, you can trade for them prisoners for a lot cheaper. Sam, Walter, Perry, Richard, Raphael and Teddy, all have them, but I think you need to have rapport 50+ to be able to get them.

2. Mail the love letter - Go to the main hall, dump it in the letterbox, boom.

3. Wait a day - The post isn't instantaneous so patience is needed.

4. Ring Maggie in the evening - I tried ringing her in the morning once and she didn't answer, I assumed she was at work (maybe morning will work on the weekend days).

5. Repeat the process 1-5 - For me it took 3 letters, but also do not ask her to send you anything as that costs a painful amount of relationship points.

6. Repair Relationship - The option will unlock and you can attempt to persuade her. This is a charisma based negotiation so pump up those numbers as high as possible (mine was 14 and I think the success chance was 92%). If you pass ask her to get back together (top option).

And you will be rewarded with that glorious ping of an achievement unlocked.

EDIT: Should have mentioned this is part of Thomas' story. Doubt you can get it as Bob.
