Random assortment of suspected infected individuals.
With the exception of Hilos you are all suspected nomad infectees or sympathisers. From the report that passed my desk, Hilos appears to be someone who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hilos, if you have any information regarding this event the Core expects you to come forward with your testimony.
[22.09.2018 17:17:20] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: We could give planets, resources, and even your heritage.
[22.09.2018 17:17:31] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Sirius was inhabited by nomads before humans.
[22.09.2018 17:17:40] Core|Archer: Care to explain why you are offering Humanities planets to a nomad?
This rhetoric is most concerning, especially when combined with this visual evidence: ■ we should just issue a kill warrant and have you barred from all our stations, then alert the zoners and every house military of your clear treachery to humanity. The main reason why we haven't is we don't like to jump to conclusions, would you care to explain what happened here and inform us of your end game? surely freelancers and nomads can't have that much common ground.

Subject: You caught me Jinkies, you've discovered my evil plans to infect everyone with the Nomad disease! I should have known the great Core would uncover my conspiracies.
Seriously, though, You shouldn't expect people to just want to dive all over your mission goal of exploiting the Omicrons for profit. Excuse me for not wanting to take my non-combatant ass to fight a deadly alien force with a vessel designed for leisure cruises and mass transit. With nothing but non-lethal weaponry. And that your wanton endangerment of bystanders with antagonizing of hostile aliens for the sake of profit doesn't inspire my will to fight.
If individuals speaking their minds holds such sway over your fears, perhaps the House news networks would like to see Core's opinion of freedom of speech made manifest? Thought not.
Just in my own defence, I'm ready to comitt a complete body scan at any of your facilities, whenever you say.
And, as about my presense out there - I was just studying an alien lifeform, while I had an opportunity. Before one of your mercs showed and screwed everything up.
Guildmaster Rothschild, I must say that this is an unexpected pleasure.
In light of your concerns, I have taken a trip to my ship's MRI scanner, and I have both submitted to a scan of my brain and spinal cord to ensure that I am not infested. The images and the results of my blood test have been included as data attachments to this transmission. Your medical professionals and nomad specialists may feel free to peruse them, and if they have any questions, I will be happy to answer them, as well as cover any bases we may have missed. I trust that this will prove sufficient to demonstrate that I am not infested.
With that out of the way, I do feel as though there has been a severe misunderstanding on the part of your agent. He arrived in the middle of a quite long conversation that we had been having, and there is a great deal of context that that little slice of dialogue is missing. To be clear, we were discussing the potential exchange that a grand alliance between humans and nomads could allow. Audio transcription follows:

[22.09.2018 17:10:21] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I know much of the Slomon K'Hara, actually.
[22.09.2018 17:10:37] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I have been studying your collective for some time now.
[22.09.2018 17:10:54] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Into what purpose"
[22.09.2018 17:11:11] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: The purpose of attempting to find a peaceful discourse between us.
[22.09.2018 17:11:22] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: The purpose of putting an end to this conflict that we are engulfed in.
[22.09.2018 17:11:50] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Amusement. Humanity will not be forgiving."
[22.09.2018 17:12:05] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: And, the purpose of putting our collective species together so that we may progress united.
[22.09.2018 17:12:07] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Only very few are chosen."
[22.09.2018 17:12:14] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I am well aware of this.
[22.09.2018 17:12:25] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: It will be a very difficult process.
[22.09.2018 17:12:35] Gossamer: *A small smile warms Kimi's face*
[22.09.2018 17:12:39] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Humanity is divided and still sees nomads as a threat.
[22.09.2018 17:12:55] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: But I would like to work toward making peace, regardless.
[22.09.2018 17:13:06] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: It may take generations, but all things must start somewhere.
[22.09.2018 17:13:23] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Towards yourself. Curious (?)""
[22.09.2018 17:13:34] Nyctophilia: A stabile peace would require efforts from both sides, though.
[22.09.2018 17:13:42] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Yes.
[22.09.2018 17:13:53] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: You are curious about me?
[22.09.2018 17:13:58] Naiad: And what do you mean with 'putting together'?
[22.09.2018 17:14:15] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Sharing our technology, our science.
[22.09.2018 17:14:21] Naiad: Oh.
[22.09.2018 17:14:21] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Making progress jointly.
[22.09.2018 17:14:33] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Integrating nomads into our culture.
[22.09.2018 17:14:38] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: And vice versa.
[22.09.2018 17:14:43] Nyctophilia: And vice-versa, yes.
[22.09.2018 17:15:15] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Our Technology is not given to no humanity. Unless the Light sees your intent and worthiness, yours are forbidden."
[22.09.2018 17:15:55] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I do not mean you should give it to us.
[22.09.2018 17:16:09] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: What I mean is that, perhaps in the future when there is trust, such a thing could be considered.
[22.09.2018 17:16:19] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: But there is much to be done before that can be a possibility.
[22.09.2018 17:16:19] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Given, shared. We see it the same."
[22.09.2018 17:16:29] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I know.
[22.09.2018 17:16:38] Gossamer: Perhaps one should ask what humanity has to give.
[22.09.2018 17:16:58] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I believe that we have a lot to give.
[22.09.2018 17:17:07] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "Elaborate."
[22.09.2018 17:17:22] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: We could give planets, resources, and even your heritage.
[22.09.2018 17:17:33] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Sirius was inhabited by nomads before humans.
[22.09.2018 17:17:42] Core|Archer: Care to explain why you are offering Humanities planets to a nomad?
[22.09.2018 17:17:45] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Perhaps if there were peace, we could share in it.
[22.09.2018 17:18:07] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "We sense a darkling of Cruelty has intervene."
[22.09.2018 17:18:22] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: I am not offering anything, I am stating a hypothetical diplomatic situation of the future, Core vessel.
[22.09.2018 17:18:32] Vagrant.Pasiphae: "This 'meeting' is finished."
[22.09.2018 17:18:36] Gossamer: Don't bother. Core only care about taking for themselves.
[22.09.2018 17:18:40] Core|Archer: And hey there Captain of the Eidolon, I'm sure we have our differences but that is a nomad, why havn't you melted it yet?
[22.09.2018 17:18:49] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Yes, I am well aware of that.
[22.09.2018 17:18:55] Harvest.Moon: Aisling: Farewell, Pasiphae.
[22.09.2018 17:18:59] Core|Archer: Moving in on alien hostile
As you can see, my exchange with the nomad was describing a hypothetical future in which humans and nomads lived in cooperation.
I would like to state that I do not have the authority to offer a planet to a nomad, regardless of whatever intentions I may hold. I also do not believe that an infested individual would have any reason to attempt to communicate this with a nomad, as they would simply be able to relay it telepathically, without stating such things in the open. Therefore, if I were an external viewer, and given my background in xenology, I would not expect anyone holding a conversation with a nomad near to a Freeport to be infested. However, I do understand that my credibility is undermined by the circumstances.
In regards to the matter of my endgame, as I have stated, I am a xenologist, and the study of the Slomon K'Hara is my profession, and my life's work. Therefore, it is natural that I would seek to gather as much information as possible pertaining to nomads--including investigating the potential of peace between our species.
I understand that this is a controversial topic, and I understand your skepticism. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to answer them. Thank you for reaching out, Guildmaster, and I trust that you will remain safe.
