- I know! Maybe if I presented some sort of... actionable research summary! Like just the key findings of the star system data... I think Mr Vandenberg would be really interested! His security will see the incredible value of this, they will definitely allow me through...!
>Use asset MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT: Let me have a look at that data... what you clearly need is a PIE CHART... and some infographics and BULLET POINTS...

Select an appropriate asset from the DENIABLE ASSETS table (there will be a cost in ISD, you discover this only afterwards) For instance, you could attempt to hack and transfer a copy of her data, or threaten her with some blackmail into giving it to you
