After a "failed" mission that she had and being disappointed by herself, Ada Dominguez took the "punishment assignment" that no agents were willing to take. Staying in Las Palmas sounds like a good plan to redeem herself or maybe realize that she's really not up for the job and she should quit and go back to her parents and just accept how disappointed they will be at her. Everything was fine and she was laser-focused on making the most of it, she was prepared to leave already but to her surprise, the conceited and annoying Conrad Diaz is coming with her to join her with her assignment. Pissed and displeased, she has no choice but to be nice to him even though she couldn't stand the sight of him. And she couldn't help but to think: Was the assignment really the punishment, or being with Conrad who had been a pain in her ass ever since she stepped a foot in Praesidium? Can this assignment finally make them be on good terms or it will just make it worse?
