Trivia time. Here's the card.

Overall, the card is a simple agenda card that rewards you for advancing it past the requirement. Pretty straightforward. But what in heavens name is a "Beale". After an extensive internet search (aka. Wikipedia), I now know that Beale is a common last name in Britain, and that a lot of people have had the last name Beale. Given that this card belongs to NBN, the corporation in charge of the media in the Netrunner universe, I think the card is meant to be a reference to this guy.
