My players left Cressidium after I turned Solstice Rain into a point crawl, then got dropped off at Port Conroy straight into the events of Dustgrave. Hmmm... now to find a way to draw them back...

They didn't establish much of a rapport with Kim or Farris, but they LOVE Rio.
Maybe I'll make a post on the Discord, but we finished Dustgrave, the short of it with no big spoilers for official stuff:
Took Rio from the Rio Grand to help with the investigation. Took her in a frame all the way through to the end events, including the meeting before the final fight. All of this changed her as a person, the group pulled strings with their DoJ/HR connections to have her resign from the Navy and take a new post as the NHP of the party's ship, which is now running an official DoJ/HR humanitarian mission to return the recovered NHPs from Dustgrave.
I'm super happy we've transitioned to a more sandbox style of "mission of the week" gameplay, I don't think we'll be going back to Cressidium
Fun side note:
To give Rio more personality from OSR I made her a soap opera junky (omninet dramas), with her making comparisons to the party's current situation to random episodes. "OH! It's just like in episode 47 of Harrison's Harem where his old clone turned out to be alive but had amnesia! Ok, so maybe not just like it" They had fun smuggling Rio's casket out of the Rio Grande to have her own "adventure" worthy of an omninet drama. Hijinks ensued between serious RP. This has been my best campaign ever
