Red Mercury Plot
Enrica is one of the characters with the least belief for JBA ideology as in some JBA HQ levels she can be seen arguing with Emile about some of the JBA's various actions.
Sam seduces Enrica in order to cover up his being in restricted areas. However, he doesn't have any romantic feelings towards her in this version. She is Sam's contact in some of his missions, including when he must place a bomb on a cruise ship to test it's effectiveness. Sam can either frame Enrica using her disarm code to prevent the ocean liner bomb from exploding or simply jam the signal. Either way, Emile will kill her for her "betrayal" or "incompetence". Sam does not show any remorse and he never comments on Enrica afterwards. Her body is later seen next to a furnace in the final JBA HQ level. Sam can scan her retina in order to access a locked door.
Sam can also let the ocean liner explode, earning a disingenuous "Nice work, Sam" from Enrica. She will help Sam later on near the end of the game by giving him his SC-20K M.A.W.S. and Multi-Vision Goggles if he forgot to collect them from the firing range and by opening a retinal scanner locked door. Enrica then walks over to her office, and Sam can either leave her alone or kill her (rendering her unconscious is not an option, despite her apparently being the least 'evil' of the JBA's members). When Sam grabs her, the animation is different: she twists around in his arms to look at him face to face and holds onto his wrist. If interrogated, she only reiterates what she's already told him. If Sam leaves her alone, it is unknown if she lives or dies.
Conviction writer Richard Dansky confirmed that disarming the bomb and framing Enrica is the canon choice.[2]
