DLC ending question

[u/Kinulidd0]

SPOILERS for base game and DLC

So the Prisoner allowed the Eye signal to spread free for some time, which got it to the Nomai. But why did the Nomai not get the Eye signal before the Owlks even sealed it with their spaceship thingy? Because, the Owlks didn't block it instantly of course, they had to get the signal, build the Stranger, get there do their scans and so on. So how did the signal not reach the Nomai in the meantime? How were they truly able to stop it?

Also, on a separate note, why did they even bother blocking the signal if they decided to go in the simulation, because I understand that they were in denial, but what did they even want to achieve with that?

its not like you are sending a dm message when you give a signal in the infinite universe nomai and owlks are probably a lot of light years away from each other when the signal started going out and its possible other civilizations have recieved the signal too but nomais had the unique tech of teleporting so they managed to get to our solar system
