Otherwise, the spy can try again with no penalty.Įffective fingerprinting requires you to keep an eye on the ambassador, wait for them to touch an object, then swoop in and pick it up (preferably before someone else touches it). If the object is a statue, it is dropped with a 'clang' sound effect, just like with the Swap Statue and Inspect Statues missions, and the prints are ruined. This action test will not have a white section only green or red tests are possible: If it's been touched, however, the spy's results depend on an action test.

If the spy is able to get to the object with the ambassador's prints before anybody has touched it, they can obtain a print without an action test.

This is because standing still while holding the briefcase would constitute a hard tell. Unlike a book or a statue, the spy can fingerprint the briefcase while walking. If it gets touched twice, the prints will be obliterated. If it gets touched once (including by the spy themselves) and put back down, and then is picked up by the spy, the prints will be partially ruined and it will be harder to lift them. Getting fingerprints is easier if nobody has touched the object after the ambassador has put it down.

The spy can then go take that object and lift the ambassador's prints from it. When the ambassador touches the briefcase, a book, a statue, or a drink they will leave their fingerprints on it.
