Setting up the Relay Network
This, at first glance, may sound complicated, but it really isn't. Your quarters has a telecomms relay you can activate with a multitool (you did pick it up from the toolbox, right?) and you can use it to start up the relay. An angry AI might be able to cut you off though, so don't piss them off.
Fun fact, your gas mask has a GPS marked 'Encrypted Signal' in it. And you can't get rid of said GPS, since it's essential to your work.
Now, what does this mean? That your base is not as safe as you thought, and one space explorer may actually find their way into your base, and either decide to kill you or spare you and trade.
What if someone finds your base?
This is unlikely, but it may happen, as you're from the Syndicate, such person may be trying to kill you and loot you, so you must fight if you are cornered. However, treatise may get you a way out if a slightly angrier space explorer arrives.
If they intend on killing you, you must ensure they are downed. Your best bet is to use your esword whenever they get close and otherwise remain at a distance and fire your makarov at them. If you manage to down them, STEAL THEIR FUCKING SUIT because you might have crew looking for your base. Also, chances are they'll have a retro laser gun, so take that as well since it has (theoretically) infinite ammo by way of rechargers. Also, given the opportunity, taking the Traderoute chameleon kit will allow you to bait crew to a much more dangerous area.
Conclusion
Lone Syndicate Comms Agent is a very easy role that requires very little skill to play, thus being a pretty boring ghost role, for most.
If you get too bored and decide to spam the radio with forbidden text, it's one of the roles that can give you one of the quickest temp bans, and you're not even on the station like the other source of radio shitposting.
