DSA begins it's (large) job

The new department of NSIS, the DNA Scanning Agency (DSA), has begun it's work and recruited scores of trusted staff across NS. All senior NS staff will be checked weekly, the non-invasive scan able to detect the DNA markers left behind by the Mutre Bee cloning technology and accelerated growth. Middle-rankers will be checked monthly, with a random selection also checked mid-month. Lower rankers will also be checked at random.

Given the size of NS this will be a huge task for DSA and many staff have been assigned to the new department. One worry though is the screening of DSA staff themselves, all will be screened weekly by other DSA members from other areas.

The logistical issues of the operation are difficult, especially on ships in the fleet. All NS ships are having one or two DSA officers assigned to them.

Two NSIS Space Prowler units are said to be on readiness at any one time to arrest anyone who fails the DNA test.
