Default Psi: Telepathy vs Data Retrieval

Gotta love power arguments - What would a Telepath have to do to be able to read files retrieved by a Cyberpsi using Data Retrieval?
Would the Cyberpsi had to have read the files?
What if they just quickly grab a couple files but have not read through them yet? ie; they read the file name and copied it quickly.
Would Deep Probe work for that?
What if they Mirror a drive but have not looked at the files yet?
Would they have no 'memory' of the data for the Telepath to look at until they do so?
What if it is in Binary? Can they use 'Universal' to translate it to read the file?
What if it is encrypted?
One assumes the Telepath could borrow skills to 'read binary'? Or to use Suggestion to make them start to look at the file so the Telepath would then be able to see what the file is.
