I put in a second attempt with a Glitch die attached.

The Host is still really very strong, but Shiriki pulls it off with an Exploit. I'm going to say the effect of the Exploit is to give Shiriki control over the hospital's alarm systems.
Next, Shiriki is going to do a patient records scan to see if he can find anyone who'd be a good candidate to pull the sec guard off Swoopy's back, if it comes to that. Patients with mental illnesses, those being treated for addictions, or any criminals under medical care are good candidates. I'm rolling Perception + VR bonus. Does that sound right?

This is pretty specialized, but terribly unrealistic, so I'm going to say this is a Hard test.

Looks like he finds a good candidate should it come to that. Hopefully, Swoopy should be just fine, though.
There shouldn't be a roll needed to find out where our contact is, so after Swoopy deals with the guard, Shiriki will direct him there.
