I've got a problem in the game. So Desdemona asked me to retrieve the Network Scanner holotape from Proctor Ingram, but she stands next to Lancer Captain Kells who is about to give me the task to destroy the Railroad, and I can't talk to her unless I talk to Kells first, but that leads to my becoming enemies with the Railroad, which I do not want. So is there any way to speak to her separately? I really want to continue playing for the Railroad...

havn't got there but can you take the task to kill the RR and then not do it? Also try to see her at night when she may be in a different place.

You can, but you no longer can work with RR in that case.

I managed to steal the holotape. Problem solved.
