You suffer slight on the check if you do not have the correct Lore specialty, and the Director may inform you that none of your specialties are close enough for a successful check. (In which case, you don't even get to roll.)
If the Director never came up with information on the subject you request, don't be surprised if they ask you to make it up on the spot!
