The most troublesome arrested personnel are being held in both the Security and Marine brigs on deck 8, while all others are being held, under guard, in secure quarters elsewhere on that deck (since the brigs aren’t large enough to hold 47 people).
The genetically-enhanced children have been evaluated by our counseling staff, and are doing well. They are, however, understandably shaken, and are being cared for by our medical staff. Since we do not know the full extent of their abilities, they too are under guard – for their protection, and that of our crew.
Away teams from the Enterprise are currently down in the Darwin Station facilities, cataloging evidence, machinery, and personal items for transport up to the Enterprise. These items are being stored in secure locations throughout the ship, until they can be offloaded at DS1 for transport back to Earth. A platoon of Marines is ensuring that the station facilities remain secure, while others continue tracking down the three individuals still on the run.
Marine Captain Dolim has requested that a contingent of Marines be left behind on the station, when we leave – along with the already assigned ship personnel – to ensure the security of the station and personnel until another ship can arrive. Captain Picard has approved his request.
So far, this entire operation has gone smoothly, with our Marines doing a fine job securing the station, and tracking down the remaining fugitives. I’m glad there haven’t been any unexpected challenges, however, I do feel uneasy playing police to an entire station of scientists – scientists who chose to experiment with human genetics, in secret, and contrary to one of the Federation’s most important laws. They will have their day in court, and for that I am grateful. Still, the sooner we get them off our ship, the better.
