 In order to **Press** the action forward and carry your Cool over with a -1 cost, your Agent must either: Escalate the current conflict, or Advance to the next logic conflict in the fiction. You need to consider the term conflict here as a broadly scoped thing. A conflict might be: Agent Smith wants to destroy Mr. Anderson. Which means all kinds of smaller contests can fall under it. You should note that either method may not occur immediately following the current actions in the fiction, but must logically follow the current actions.  In order to **Press** the action forward and carry your Cool over with a -1 cost, your Agent must either: Escalate the current conflict, or Advance to the next logic conflict in the fiction.

-Your Agent Escalates by taking action that raises the stakes of the current conflict. When your Agent fails to persuade the criminal to come quietly, and you pull your gun, that is escalating. When your Agent tries to find out more about a suspect by surveillance but fails, and breaks into their home to access their computer, that is escalating. +  * Your Agent __Escalates__ by taking action that raises the stakes of the current conflict.

When Agent Smith works the wire to discover Mr. Anderson's location and succeeds, he may next confront him (since the arching conflict is to destroy him), this is advancing. If your Agent gains access to the corporate files and discovers they are encrypted, if their next action is to decrypt them to access their data, that is advancing.
