It all depends on how big the brig is. The E-D's brig seemed to only have enough to hold around 6 people, assuming one per cell. If we can assume we can cram 4 people into each cell, that's 24 people. Given that it was the medical staff who pushed for them to be moved to the cargo bay, we can assume they'd find anything over 2 people per cell to be unnaceptable. So we probably have around 12 in the brig, and the rest (around 13+) in the cargo bay.

Of which, around half were involved in the initial break, and half were incapacitated before they could follow-up. Makes sense.

There were more in the brig than could fit in the cells. Some were clustered in the corners under armed guards since they couldn't fit in the brig cells.

So can't we just assume that the overflow were the ones transferred to the cargo bay?

Well I think a number is important. 500 is a lot harder to take care of then 25 :p

Quite simply the amount of prisoners inside was vastly more than what the brig was designed to hold. In holding cells designed for one or two people twenty-five stood packed into standing room only.

So 6x25 = 150 prisoners. + maybe 5 outside of the cell = 155.

Well, that hinges on my memory of the E-D having six cells. Given that this is a much smaller ship, it may only have three or four cells.

I think our biggest consern is our transports had all of 30 seconds to work. I cant see them grabbing more than two dozen in that time.

True. But we now have posts that contradict each other

It kind of depends on a couple of factors:
How long does it take to beam people over?
How many transporters do we have? Remember that the E-E had spares in the cargo bay, in shuttles, etc.

Since E-E transport the Scorpion attack shuttle, i would think the Akira class is equipped with industrial transporters to support the cavernous shuttlebay.

Why couldn't every available personnel and cargo transporter just have shipped everyone to the brig/security area?

That's another option. I think it's safe to assume the Daystrom has such cargo transporters, so that'd boost our transport capacity by quite a bit. I'd say we could comfortably get 20-30 people over within the thirty second time limit Teaos suggested.

Well lets get the story rolling. Lets say there is 30ish. A dozen in the brig the rest in the cargo bay.

Sounds good. I'll clear out Engineering in a short while.
