The only images she could find were on his hands and neck, and the shaved part of his head. Most reveled nothing: an black outline of a bird in flight. A dragon. A seemingly random geometric pattern. A partially hidden letter ‘D’ thats was obviously some part of a larger piece on his arm, but always covered by his sleeve.
One image did garner results. On the side of his neck, an image of a red sun with an orange center. In the center was a stylized face. On either side of the sun the letters ‘C’ and ‘P’ with flowers above and below. The symbol registered as the symbol for the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party… active on Earth from 1902 to 1921.
Computer
The frown on Aizala’s face deepened. 1902 to 1921? And what was the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party? Sure, like everyone she had learned about the most important historic events of every Federation member while she was at the Academy, that was a party she had never heard of before. But it was the only lead she had so far. So she was going to follow it. =/\= Computer, tell more about the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party and parties, groups or organisations that succeeded them to this day. Are or were there any connections to current organisations on Earth or any Federation colonies? =/\=

=/\= The Socialist Revolutionary Party, or Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries (the SRs or Esers; Russian: Партия социалистов-революционеров, ПСР or эсеры, esery) was a major political party in late Imperial Russia, both phases of the Russian Revolution and early Soviet Russia.
The party’s ideology was built upon the philosophical foundation of Russia’s Narodnik–populist movement of the 1860s–1870s and its worldview developed primarily by Alexander Herzen and Pyotr Lavrov. After a period of decline and marginalisation in the 1880s, the Narodnik–populist school of thought about social change in Russia was revived and substantially modified by a group of writers and activists known as neonarodniki (neo-populists), particularly Viktor Chernov. Their main innovation was a renewed dialogue with Marxism and integration of some of the key Marxist concepts into their thinking and practice. In this way, with the economic spurt and industrialisation in Russia in the 1890s, they attempted to broaden their appeal in order to attract the rapidly growing urban workforce to their traditionally peasant-oriented programme. The intention was to widen the concept of the people so that it encompassed all elements in society that opposed the Tsarist regime. =/\=
Computer
Aizala listened closely to everything the computer told her and then looked up a few things she didn’t know the meaning of. Like Marxism and Tsar. The more she read, the more confused she got. Why would he have that party’s symbol tattooed on his skin? Surely he wasn’t part of it!? How could he have been? They ceased to exist centuries ago! Of course there was always the possibility that he simply got the tattoo because he either liked how it looked, or he liked the ideas and ideology of that party.
After looking up the first two men the computer had mentioned, she went on the pull up information about Viktor Chernov. Rubbing her forehead slightly, she asked, =/\= Computer, what can you tell me about Viktor Chernov and are there any connection between him, Alexander Herzen and or Pyotr Lavrov and modern history? =/\=
Rising to her feet, Aizala walked around her quarters for a while, wondering what it all meant and why the computer hadn’t answered her other questions in any way. Eventually she stopped in her tracks and asked, =/\= Computer, are there any records of people, currently and throughout history, who had the symbol of the Socialist Revolutionary Party tattooed on their skin or wore that symbol on their clothes or the like after the party ceased to exist? =/\=
