Does Agent Slaine have enough information to rule out the possibility of the Clinic Alfredo Hernandez worked at being a part of the Bio-Synth production?

No. The clinic does not provide the biological body, organs or mechanical parts, but could be part of the final "assembly" of the supposed Bio Synths.

All right
We will probably have to investigate the clinic now. Though They agree with Agent Alex, that Bio-Synth is the greater threat, we need to do thorough work, step-by-step. Also the presentation of investigating Alfredo Hernandez may be helpful.

Can the clinic assemble Bio-Synths? <Y/N>
Who else from the clinic has the skills needed to be a part of Bio-Synth production? <Open>
Who else from the clinic may be involved in this production (with special attention to anyone who hired or was a reference for Alfredo Hernandez)? <Open>
What threat could the organs Alfredo Hernandez replaced represent? <Open>

Ops. Your effect was 0. You haven't received any penalties or complications, but have not received any clues either. Spend another day, and roll Investigation DC12 again.

Slaine was still investigating the clinic, but they haven't found any new clues or insights.

Case Report: Preliminary: Bio-Synth Eclipse Investigation
Special Agent Slaine Rowan | Trade Era 1234, Day 154
While the organs transplanted by Alfredo Hernandez are still both unethical and illegal, they have proven to be acting within normal and expected parameters. Therefore possibility of threat is being considered minimal. Though there may be a need for testing and scans of each individual in the future. [Full List Attached]
Worryingly I have not been able to rule out further conspiracy from the clinic. With current understanding the clinicis likely capable of producing Bio-Synths. It would require most of if not the full staff, which is worrying more than it is comforting. Further research will be conducted.

Advised Actions: the ITC may need to get specialist action, or likely a taskforce, to determine the requisite parameters to prove Synth sapience. If proven sapient Synths will need to be given rights. This is not only the ethical option, but will support the ethical optics of the ITB and allied agencies.
This is important for my next suggestion: heavy and brutal restrictions and oversight on the creation of Synths and Bio-Synths. Especially focusing on a person's or group's ability to progeam and control a Synth of either sort. The threat of such a situation is akin to a full army of sleeper agents, with above humanity intelligence and durability.
Also, from an individual ethical perspective, to control a sapient creature in such a way is akin to mind control and brainwashing and/or slavery.

Can cloned organs be legally used in Eclipse for prosthetics or medicinal purposes? (Y/N)
Bonus, 0 clues. Yes. Ask further questions if you want to.

How long until the ITC Bureau of Investigation in New Jordan receives your last report?
Bonus, 0 clues. 36 days. A fast courier ship goes at 3 light-years per week. Give or take a couple of days of conventional travel before entering hyperspace, plus natural delays, refueling and unexpected difficulties, it takes between 7-10 days to cover 3 light-years. Aldebaran is 13 light-years from New Jordan.

Can Bio-Synths be assembled, at all, considering current technology and research levels in Eclipse?

5 clues. Yes. This groundbreaking technology, while unprecedented, suggests that if NovaGen Biotech collaborates with a conventional Synth Factory and finds a discreet location to do so, they could potentially assemble one or two Bio-Synths per year. Special Agents Slaine and Alex are likely among the first in the ITC Bureau to uncover this clandestine capability.
