They appear to be wearing Stealth-Class Hunter armor alongside a leather jacket, hat and boots. Subject appears equipped with a mid-range rifle and a dated revolver. Rifle is unidentifiable from security footage but appears to be an light-energy variant. Since detection, occupant has appeared and disappeared from cargo bay without detection from passengers or personnel. Hired security has been instructed to detain the occupant but has been unsuccessful in doing so, as no contact has been made. Personnel has been instructed independently that if they see any unfamiliar armed passengers to not engage and inform the captain.
