Ok so the season 9 Grand Lodge 7 Goal ability reads:
EXPEDITION COORDINATOR (7+ goals): You can forgo your Downtime to organize an expedition to a site you recently visited and discover things you missed before. Check one of the boxes to retroactively succeed at the scenario’s secondary success condition that you would have failed. If you do so, all other PCs at the table also succeed at the secondary success condition.
Now I have done Bonekeep Level 1 & Level 2 with this character. We did not succeed on the secondary success conditions...ok let me be honest. We ran out of time the first one, and we died the second one.
What I want to know is, if I use these for Bonekeep Level One: The Silent Grave & Bone Level Two: Maze of the Mind Slave, what will I get exactly? Will I just get the second prestige point I missed out on? Or...
[Spoilers for those who haven't played the levels, final warning]
Will I get the Nexus Crystal from Level 1 and the Mind Crystal from Level 2? Or something else entirely?

Just the second prestige point.
I was afraid of that. Fair enough. But then what does it mean 'all other PCs at the table also succeed at the secondary success condition.' Does it mean I can only activate this at the end of a session where we failed a secondary success condition? Because not everyone on the table might have done bonekeep? I can't do it retroactively some sessions later?

While I wouldn't mind trying to track down all the other players who were at the table, I can see the GM not being willing to do the extra work and ruling that it must be done before the session is over, otherwise it only benefits the PC using the boon. It does say 'the' scenario rather than 'a' scenario.

... Because it wouldn't make any sense otherwise and/or would be very difficult to pull off? I can't imagine a situation where, after playing for scenario A, you tell everybody at the table that they suddenly succeeded at the secondary condition of a scenario X that nobody else of them played (but which you did play 6 months ago). How would you report that? They could also go over the normal maximum limit of 2PP/fame per 1xp earned. Alternatively, you'd also need to track down the GM and ask them to change the reporting to reflect the additional PP. A PC might have died, and could be that 1 prestige away from actually getting a raise dead - now they have 1 PP more, can they now raise themselves despite having been reported dead?
Trying to apply it to old scenarios raises so many questions that the text should be a lot more specific if that was intention. Trying to track down potentially 7 complete strangers being one of the biggest ones. (not to mention that text would need to specify if it means the players NOW at your table or players who WERE at your table back then)
