As I've already explained to one of your pilots, there is no foolproof method of identifying a compromised and infested element if it is disguised to a sufficient degree. The most common anomaly is a malfunctioning and/or scrambled IFF tone - but given the number of other factors that can affect transponder software, this is not reliable. That said, in the current climate, I advise you to err on the side of caution, as it is considered unlikely that any infiltrating element would have visible signs of Nomad tissue or influence visible to a standard ship borne scanner.

In the event of contact with forces that can be confirmed as hostile alien elements, you and your group are advised to break contact immediately and alert Kodiak central. If combat itself is inevitable, however, standard Security Force protocol mandates the total and wholesale destruction of the vessel in question, as well as any apparent life pods or remaining debris.

Lastly - you can trust no-one outside those elements who have been cleared as free from contamination or infection. With each passing minute, it grows more and more likely that the plague gripping the First and Fifth fleets is worsening - and with that, so too will their erratic behaviour and paranoia. Even those men and women free from any overt Nomad influence will likely be caught up in their own fears, doubts, and insecurities, and you are therefore advised to exercise extreme caution when dealing with government-affiliated forces at this present time.
