OOC:
It gives you another shot at the roll, but the consequences of failure are escalated. I will say, that a failure in this roll won't mean that "you can't get any of the equipment you want" - some of it is reasonable and easily acquired. I'm mostly checking for harder-to-come-by items, and to see what it costs you - financially, socially, legally, whatever. I'm going to wait for everyone to make their rolls and then figure out how to adjudicate them. So for example, as far as this roll goes, a failure on a regular roll might mean you wind up owing a contact a favor in exchange for helping to get some of the gear you need. A failure on a pushed roll might mean you alienate, or antagonize a contact or ally to the point where they refuse to help, or even become hostile.
In other situations, where the roll is more of a straight up pass/fail (for example, a Persuade roll): A failure on the regular roll means that the person simply isn't persuaded. A failure on a pushed roll might means they get offended and assault you. A failure on a regular Library Use roll means you simple can't get the info you're looking to; a failure on a pushed Library Use roll might mean you accidentally burn down the library in your harried attempt to do research.
If Frank and Peaslee don't jump in, then I'll take Caden and Fulbright's rolls as the straight measures of success.
Edit: To be clear, Credit Rating isn't typically rolled in the way I'm asking you to here, so don't get freaked out by having terribly low CR scores. I'm just using it in this case to help expedite the narrative, while still presenting some sort of obstacle here.
