The best tactic you have is to assume she knows everything, and work backwards from there.
So assume she knows about the password, who the big man is, the creatures Juliet has been drawing, what Squib is up to, how Ash recruits, what Grey is worried about, and that the postmaster wants you to help decide the next commander.
Okay, well she probably doesn't know all of that, but it doesn't take long for Lisa to go from inclination to deduction.
Once you assume she knows all of that, it makes it easier to give up some information (after all what's the value of gossip if you don't spread it around?) Lisa has a tendency to think other people are as on-point as she is, so she'll let things slip thinking you already know it too.
Ash seems to be a hot topic around here. Start with him
"I guess I should get going, Sargent Ash wanted to speak with me. I'm nervous though, don't know much about the guy. Anything I should be aware of?"
