Read a short story within the last year or two about a pick up of a scientist with a large CAP score getting picked up and the MC of the story had a decent score was coincidentally at the same location and had been keeping his score secret to avoid the attention it brought
I can think of one which matches - https://storiesonline.net/s/64691/who-got-picked-up by Allan Joyal - but it was posted close to 12 years ago. You might have to add a few more details.
I would love to see Allan Joyal pen more of his Ishtar story. Allan if you see this please add more swarm stories including more about Ishtar
