Not Palmyra Station, just Sonvek and Sick bay. Sonvek is showing symptoms and had been down there at least two weeks in the company of any prospective pathogens, so if there was nothing in him (or the filters that Adams sealed up) when he beamed up, there's almost certainly nothing down there. There's no need to send down guinea pigs to be sure. :P (Besides, Chandra wouldn't send down a medical team to wander around a crime scene that hadn't been checked out first. Even if there were still a risk of pathogens down there, a security team in environment suits would have gone first, to secure the area and record the scene and evidence.)<br/><br/>Basically the idea was just to not beam down in environment suits; once they can walk around sick bay without them, the surface is probably safe, too. Even if there<em>is</em>something dangerous and infectious down there, the fact that it apparently doesn't beam up means that if the away team runs into trouble, they can be beamed back up in a jiffy without risking the ship.
