[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The station's Starfleet complement need not have been very large: during the first season, about 300 people crowded the corridors in a typical day ("Captive Pursuit"), yet even in the later years, the UFP component of the crew could be evacuated by just a handful of runabouts ("Call to Arms") presumably not even making multiple trips. So it would be theoretically possible that there weren't enough officers to man the Engineering dept. Yet we did see plenty of officers from Starfleet there, wearing yellow and yes sir'ing O'Brien. Perhaps many of these people were actually part of the Security dept, though? Just like Security could borrow LaForge's men in "Chain of Command", perhaps O'Brien was loaning people from the officer in charge of Starfleet Security forces - Primmin or somebody like him, later Eddington, then probably Worf (that Klingon is a workaholic - he'd certainly want to pull double or triple duty aboard the station). It seems weird, though, that the person in charge of these officer-level people would be so seldom seen. And that there would be so many officers in the Security force to begin with, when Engineering would have none. I suspect the role of the top yellowshirt on the station was not to usurp Odo's role in station law enforcement, but to stand by and train for military action like invasion repelling. Only in exceptional times would Primmin and his kind take Odo's place or help him in his task. A weird arrangement in any case. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
