Note to mods: this thread is related to Security, Mentors and Disciples, quite certainly Space and probably something else, too. I'm just not sure where it would belong.
Episode 0
You're standing at a storage, refiner in your hand, tallying up your mining run, when a guy in undies approaches you and whispers "can you be my mentor?". Pretty innocent, isn't it? Only if you don't remember...
Episode 1
The same guy approached you ~five months ago on a different planet, also when standing at a storage. With the old chat system, you couldn't PM just anyone, and it was an outright discipleship request, which was promptly declined. No conversation happened before or after that.
Episode 2
The guy in question has had at least one killing spree HoF. (I'm not sure whether these are tracked anywhere, noticed it just because of Episode 1)
Episode 3
Right after someone (not me) got a tier HoF, the guy in question PMed them (new chat system was already in place) asking "hey, have you got Marber Something for sale?". I don't quite remember if he asked for Bravo or Foxtrot, but either way it made little sense as the tier HoF was on a (L) mining finder. The PM was ignored, and no further activity ensued.
Episode 0 (continued)
...so I just replied "no.", and the guy left me alone. I might be paranoid at times, but all this thing is as fishy as it can get.
Additional data
The guy was hanging around Minopolis today, his agility is 35. His name is all caps, 6,5,5 letters.

Questions
- Does this ring familiar to you?
- Does anyone involved in space know a guy fitting the pattern? (a planetside killing spree with 35 agi seems quite unlikely, doesn't it?)
- And finally, am I really paranoid?
