i'd like to have a contact for my new char, who is getting blackmailed but i did not exactly get how the loyalty test works out when combined with blackmailing/ intimidation.
p.178, Blackmailing
QUOTE
If the contact fails a Loyalty (Leverage) Test it means
he doesn’t care who knows what he’s being blackmailed
for.

p. 177, Loyalty test
QUOTE
If a contact is under duress, their loyalty to the character
may be tested. Make a Loyalty Test to see whether the contact
can resist intimidation, torture, bribes, etc. Roll the character’s
Intuition + the contact’s Loyalty rating, and apply the hits as bonus
dice to the usual resistance roll. Other actions done or not done
by the character can also lead to Loyalty Tests.

I can not manage to bring those two parts together to figure out a rational use of this rule. I dont know if this is due to my missing language skills or just does not make any sense at all. Also i dont get, what the "usual resistance roll" ist.
Sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance
