Bug Description:
Had a young drone on the sulico for a while, about 20 minutes in a mother scan occurred and instead of showing the presence of an alien on the sulico, it gave the all clear.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have an alien crawling through a vent on the sulico
2. Activate a Mother Scan
3. Results will show no lifeforms detected on the ship.
Aliens in Sulico Vents don't show on Mother scans.

Its because when a Xeno is in a vent It's Considered Dead for Xenos who want to stay hidden in the Sully to delay

Unsure if it's intentional or a bug, it could lean either way at this point, probably something to ask a higher-up about.
Garth Pawolski, or is it Powalski?

yeah...mother scans don't count dead things and things in vents are considered dead,like people in lockers.

Re: Aliens in Sulico Vents don't show on Mother scans.
They are considered dead, yes. We're probably not going to change that behavior for gameplay reasons.
