    Summary

    For the second year in a row, the Agency has decided to put their staff through team-building exercises- in the form of an escape room.

Teams have been made interdepartmental, with no more than two representatives from a given Unit or department allowed per group.

    So now Ava and Mason have to prove they know how to work with others. Without Nat and Felix's assistance.
