i get that sd works anytime, so even during an attempt. and the sd downloads to the location. okay.
but how do they actually get the status of attempting to become present?

Your compatible personnel aboard one ship or facility, at one site, or on one planet surface (outside a facility or landed ship) must form a single Away Team or crew.

So as long as they are compatible, they join the crew/AT
All unstopped compatible folks form an AT
