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."

[McKay] No one asked him?
Date: 2006-10-18 01:07 pm (UTC)McKay looked around with a theatrically puzzled expression on his face. "I could have sworn I'd just said that. We let them go, they lead us to the things we want." He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his seat, shaking his head. "Actually, I'm not sure anyone actually asked Dr. Jackson before they jumped all over him."
He cast a glance over towards the beleaguered anthropologist. It would be a whole lot easier if... Ah well. No sense going down that road. It's just them.
"And yes. We can store the really bad guys a computer, if that makes it easier for you to understand." The scientist had quite a few other options than out and out killing people, or putting them in front of a kangaroo court, regardless of the crime.
