Seekers Scanning Capsuleer Ships

I recently passed a group of six (6) Seekers scanning a jump gate in High Sec. Having seen them scan customs ships before I uncloaked my Prowler to observe their interactions with the gate.

Within moments my unarmed hauler was subjected to their scans.

I jumped through the gate.

What are they looking for?
What actions will they engage in if they find it?
What data did their scan of my Prowler reveal to them?

These questions present some unsettling scenarios as possible outcomes.
I perceive the scans of unarmed capsuleer ships as an escalation and provocation which might lead to combat situations.

I have a few other general questions as well.

[1] Has anyone encountered Seekers or Drifter Battleships during a Sansha incursion in low or null sec?

[2] If so, have you seen any interaction or combat between Drifters and the Sansha?

[3] If so, have you seen any interaction or combat between Sansha and the Seekers?

[4] Will Concord respond if a capsuleer ship is aggressed by the Drifters or the Seekers?

[5] Does Concord have capability to fend off Drifters that aggress capsuleer haulers?

While Concord and the DED seem intent on playing hardball with capsuleers a threat appears to be gaining confidence throughout the cluster.

Seekers have been doing that for months and no, don't expect any help from CONCORD if they attack you.

They call my laboratory a hole, but the hole you crawled out from must be musty!

People are rioting over CONCORD and DED and you only now noticed the Seekers? Like, do some research first! It only makes you look silly otherwise!

If asking questions makes one look silly so be it.

I guess you did not understand my statement about Concord and the DED playing hardball with capsuleers while a real threat blossoms.

I fly daily and had never seen Seekers scanning jump gates before. I thought it was prudent to check it out and share my observations.

I find it interesting that some of my fellow capsuleer pilots designate themselves as "content police" here on IGS.

Riots? Really? Where?
I am in Yulai, oh so quiet here.
Please inform me where the riots are happening, I'd like to see it.

Wow, a minmatar finally noticed seekers scanning ships.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.
