AI don't march up to you and demand to see your ID or token board.
One of them's walking about, scanning things with "a strange looking scanner", while the rest are checking everyone's ID and telling them to move on. So I kept following them, despite being told to bugger off twice. They roamed right accross the Trade District and into the Entertainment District wom-pah. This is where Rho joined me. We continued following, and that's when Manny woke up.
So I go do my fatherly thing, and when I get back, this is what I find in my log as I stand next to a Reclaimation Terminal:

So, I think Omni-Tech are tracking the aliens to a degree. They know where they're coming. Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with Ross...
