Sure, try to roll Academics: Sociology as a complementary skill for a +30 bonus to the check.

I forgot to add a negative modifier for having to try to convince him again but I got a 7 anyway so I don't think it matters.

Just an FYI, I read the Deep Scan description in the EP Core Rulebook. Aghassi will be aware that you have probed his head, and he is a dangerous guy to cross. At best, you can expect to get kicked out of the Office and be beaten to within an inch of your life. At worst, the entire office's security will crash down and your cortical stack would end up as a paperweight in an Oversight agent's office. Unless you can somehow make him forget that he got Deep Scanned after you do so or convince him that it was nothing, you will likely face heavy repercussions.

Also, since every piece of information you extract takes one action turn to do so, others will likely notice when you are holding his hand for ten seconds while he looks like he is in catatonic shock.

I'm letting you know because it could be dangerous to your character and it might not be worth it in the long-term. If you still want to do it, fine by me: we'll let the dice tell the results.

For the papers in the apartment, may I roll research with a bonus due to my (50) in Linguistics?

Sure, roll it as a complementary skill. If you succeed, you will gain a +20 bonus to the Research check (+30 from the complementary skill and -10 from not knowing Portuguese.)

So I'm a bit worried that my first roll being so awesome will mean the rest will suck :P

Don't worry.  I haven't rolled less than a 50 so far.

I think my character needs to find other employment.  ;D

If anything I've has been rolling too low. In an opposed test I would get schooled.

Hey dom I didn't know if you wanted me to ad-lib the name of a college or not. If you're okay with saying something of a response to Friction that either Oriole or Ripley would know, I'm okay with that.
Thanos: "I am going to sacrifice the Earth to gain the love of Death"
Me: (slowly raise eyebrow) "Destroy the Earth? That would be...illogical"
Vortex: "Yes...that...would be...highly...illogical."
Thanos: "Your Star Trek references bore me."
