Ascetic Jenny Barnes ? Why ? Because with Green Man Medallion, you will still be able to upgrade a card every scenario.

Free upgrades with Down the Rabbit Hole :

• Emergency Cache (2) → Emergency Cache (3). In early game, use them for the money. Once the Sacrificial Beast is in play, use them to recharge your Flashlight, your Fingerprint Kit or your Disguise.
• Customizable cards. Friends in Low Places mostly, Clever upgrade may delay your weakness a lot.

If you can get enough resources on the medaillon :

• 24 resources : Lola Santiago. Replace Alice Luxley with Dark Horse. To is your top priority
• 12 resources : Streetwise (3) (discounted thanks to DTRH)
• then it's bonus. False Covenant if you have a bit oo many , Crafty if you need help with your tools tests, Haste for extra actions...

Note that your Sacrificial Beast only forbids you to gain resources. You can still move resources. Notably, you can give resources to other peoples with Faustian Bargain, then "borrow" them with "I'll Pay You Back!" and put them on the medaillon. Or if they play "I'll Pay You Back!" from a Black Market, you'll get all their resources at the end of the round. Usually once set-up most investagors won't care of their resources.

In case of emergency, either use Savant for a +4, or discard a card and move with Bound for the Horizon and get a +4 with Fieldwork. The latter combined with Fingerprint Kit is your bread and butter for clueing.
