To be fair in the case of the Siberian, it's probably highly unlikely anyone has ever had the chance to properly approach 'her' in order to do any sort of decent scanning. Or, if they have, the results never made it back to the office for, oh, some reason.
Regardless of of whether she is a projection: Assuming that a tinker with visible obvious tinkertech on their person (suit, glowing cybernetics, whatever blocks the scans) whom you cannot scan is helpless is insane.
What does "no devices" even mean? Are the apparent implants not a "device"? Does the suit not count as a "device"? And even before that "they detected no" is very much different from "their scans were blocked and they could not tell either way", which is what happened from their perspective, given that the obvious glowing implants did not trigger their scanner.
Tautology?
Pissed off Piggot is (or can be, at least) one of my favourite things in Worm fics. Sure she's generally a somewhat hard to like character, but she has a lot of legitimate reasons to get well and truly frustrated at practically everyone and everything around her, and it's a fuse that's been burning for a long time.
Right, you'd want the Tenno style guns then. Try to join a Clan and get a bp there or buy 'em with cash.
Gold is a kind of earth tone, and dazzle is a camo pattern.

Tayno: "The Syndicates make house calls now? SWEET! Rules of Hospitality state you have to bring a gift~!"
She's already handing out flower pots to people she likes, so that could be one of the things.
Nah, Piggot visiting would be more like one of the Arbiters dropping in for a chat. Visiting someone doesn't mark that someone as an authority, just someone you want to talk to. The gift is for politeness and courtesy carried out even in ancient cultures. (Not sure where I read it but the unofficial rules of hospitality are pretty consistently a big thing across the globe) Besides, if she were setting up a Syndicate you think she'd waste a perfectly good Eximus squad on the defiant few? Nah. The Tenno Sniper rifle comes to mind...Velka was it? Venka was the claws if I remember right. Still it's a hilarious image of Piggot ringing the doorbell nervously with a vase of flowers in one hand.
