Your mission partner only has one well articulated and necessary job necessary for the successful completion of “THE PLAN” and they absolutely blow it.
The origin of this expression is the scene in the movie: The Empire Strikes Back when the Jedi Master Yoda deeply sighs after Luke Skywalker fails his test inside of the Dark Side tree.
