You will have a higher success rate of persuading Emin if your background is Diplomat, Industrialist, Sculptor, or Space Scoundrel. They have a Persuasion Skill unlocked at the start of the game.

You only have three chances to fill up the Persuasion Meter and convince Emin to hand over the data. Also, note that the choices given are random, but it will have at least one green, one yellow, and one red on each part of the persuasion process.

All Green Choices

Difficulty & Points	Choices
+1	There must be some way we can both win here.
+1	There's no reason for us to have a problem, is there?
+1	I'm sure we can work something out.
+1	You know, I really think I left the oven on two star systems over. You think relative time means my house has burned down by now?
+2	What's the harm if you help me?

It's better to avoid being aggressive here to succeed in persuading Emin. You can choose the green options and play it safe until he gives in. They add lower points on the persuasion meter, but they will have more chances of succeeding.

All Yellow Choices

Difficulty & Points	Choices
+3	You can't just have anyone going through. I get it. Must be hard for you to say no all the time.
+3	I understand. You can't let everyone through. Rules are rules.

Yellow options branch out more depending on the result of your choice but will yield more persuasion points if successful. Try to choose the green one if you're close to failing to have a higher chance of succeeding!

All Red Choices

Difficulty & Points	Choices
+5	Don't stand in my way. You won't like where it goes.
+6	I'm being nice by asking first. I'm getting in there one way or another.

Red choices are the most difficult to succeed, but you can persuade Emin in one turn if you're successful. You can choose the red one in your first turn and test your luck, but try to pick a yellow or a green one if you fail to increase your chances of succeeding.
