Tanker & Alert Screech Question

Galatea

Mongoose
In the rules it sais any arachnid models on alert status can take a free action to warn other bugs.
All other arachnid models (regardless of species) within 6" of the screeching bug may count the screeching bug as their unit leader and take an immediate free move action.

As it doesn't mention those moving models have to be on alert status, can a Tanker Bug (or a King Tanker/Plasma Bug) join a screeching warrior in it's movement?
 
They're lumbering which means they can never go on alert status, so a Tanker can never make a screech reaction, however it can respond to one, since the rule stipulates that any bug regardless of species can make a free move.

If it had said 'any bug on alert status within 6 inches' that would be different.
 
Alexb83 is correct, which means Kristovich gets slimed! *pulls a cord, Kristovich gets wolloped with newspapers* Hey! Who moved the slime cord?
