SPOILERS - The Diaspora Strain - How to best incorporate this?


Signal of Screams


So I am running this adventure with two different groups and whilst group 2 managed to befriend Romi, the first one didn't and they were quite impolite to them. So after I had Romi reach out several times it just didn't make sense that they would try further, given the players response.
I gave it one last chance and I had Romi contact them for a copy of the Keys app and they wanted to send over a traced version and I had them make an computing check - they rolled a one and had like and overall score of 5 or something.

So I gave up having them become real allies with Romi and they stopped contacting them.
My players are thus not aware that Romi and Indigo are searching for the shadow signal - this in itself is not that much of an issue as they are still heading down (they even captured Kane and bring him with them), but I kinda would like their actions to have an impact given that they really didn't collaborate with Romi but without entirely messing up the story.

I was thinking that potentially, given the back computing check, they sent Romi a version that has an even more intensified version of the shadow signal present. But given that both Romi and Indigo die anyway, maybe they won't even notice.
Should I simply have them find the bodies with the shadow signal still active on their devices and they'll have to figure out what it means?
On the other hand, Romi might have noticed a corrupted version sent over by them, maybe they get suspicious against the players?

Looking for ideas to creatively incorporate that into the adventure so it makes sense!

Thanks in advance :)

I have ran this AP for two groups. I would use Romi / Indigo deaths to fill in any extra data / info the party missed or something the helps them connect the dots some. (using Romi's datapad).

One of my groups had a really hard time with the exploration checks down there and I use the Romi encounter earlier so they could "lock on" better to the signal to get a better check to not get lost in the exploration phase of that section in the book.
