Where: Medical Facility, Kitchen #2
When: Day 23, noonish
Invited: Open to everyone at the Bunker
Status: Incomplete
"I'm letting them go."
The announcement, predictably, was met with shouts of outrage and protest, which was precisely what Daniel had expected. The archaeologist merely steepled his fingers together, and watched the gathered group of castaways and waited for the uproar to die down.
"They know everything about us," someone pointed out.
"They don't know anything at all," Alex said quietly. The girl had been moving in the shadows the past few days, working hard to avoid notice. She seemed convinced that there were those in the bunker who would lump her right in among the DHARMA scientists, and she worked hard to stay under the radar. "They're just . . . useless."
"She's right," Daniel interjected before anyone could challenge Alex's words. "They are what they appear to be – support staff. They don't know anything about the inner operations of DHARMA or even this facility. Letting them go isn't a problem. Even if they fall back into DHARMA's hands, it's not as though DHARMA doesn't already know *everything* about *everyone* here. Keeping them here is simply putting a drain on our supplies.
"Dr. Wilson, Dr. Sakai and Ethan on the other hand, are going to be our guests for a little while longer."

Slowly, however, her lips pursed just a little. "Doctor Jackson?" Her voice was not loud, but it was pitched to carry. Her tone remained characteristically calm and reasonable. "Would it be helpful if Doctor McKay and I switched our priorities to fixing the transporter beam from the Dart? If these people are likely to provide a security risk—" and it seemed most everyone else thought they did— "they could be quite safely kept in the buffer for a time." She'd not want to keep them there indefinitely, mind, but it could be an interim solution.

"Uh...what the hell are you talking about? Stasis?"
"Are you--are you talking about saving them in a computer file?"
