#her connection to luis & the emails they exchanged + ada's plan to use leon as a distraction by letting him be the protagonist

[yngai]

i really wish more of ada's lore was at the forefront of her narratives through out the series because there's so many interesting details about her actions between the games that most people ignore, since they're relegated to guide books or in-game files expanded on RE.net & i don't expect everyone to become brain poisoned like i have. i don't remember where exactly i read that ada forwarded luis' e-mails to the us government to accelerate ashley's rescue but i recall stumbling upon it while browsing project umbrella, i'll have to look for it again, combining this with the detail from damnation's prerelease material (which i also have to find, i promise i'm not lying) that it was ada who leaked footage of lickers in eastern europe to ensure the united states sends agents to investigate BOW presence in the eastern slav republic. the ressie wiki also mentions that the us army was following the asian broker to amparo as he interfaced with javier's men but i have to go through all of the operation javier files to source the claim. fandom owned wikis are kinda dogshit.

she's a little string puller! dragging her favorite dog around (leon) to make him relive the trauma of raccoon city over & over again because he is a pawn she can easily predict, he's much easier to play than any of her other contacts or connections & he'll always take on the brunt of her work because he's more of an apt killer than she'll ever be, & their fairly unhealthy bond formed in the bowels of hell will always ensure her survival because he'd already failed to save her once & won't abide losing her again. there is a mutual trust between them that leon would much rather be without & he never quite gets to see her as anything but a mysterious woman that keeps an eye out for him, whatever her motivations might be. he will never get to know that part of the reason for his fall into depression & alcoholism is a certain spy in red who has cashed in his usefulness to her on at least three separate occasions, & the only time they meet on accident after RC is tall oaks, when ada's grown a little tired of him playing her white knight ( 'watch out for yourself.' / 'appreciate the gesture, but i'm a big girl. i can handle this one alone, leon.' ) & is a little too dedicated to carrying out this operation by herself since simmons is a very personal demon, who almost makes her eat her words if not for old, reliable leon coming to her rescue.
