Cheris is pretty reluctant to get into politics, since it's not her - ah, forte, but she's also not keen on letting perfectly good information go to waste. She's talented in the sense that she has 400+ years of intelligence operative knowledge and can slip in and out of personas (heh, personas) as necessary -- she could even begin by learning what type of person Jovovich likes being around, embodying their tone, mannerisms and etc. and is willing to go as far as torture and seduction for the info!
