Dr. Katherine Pulaski recommended a quarantine of the USS Lantree after the entire crew died from rapid aging caused by genetically engineered children at the Darwin Genetic Research Station in 2365.

As part of the quarantine, red flashing beacons on the hull of the ship where turned on and the following message was repeatedly broadcast on all frequencies:


 * "Extreme caution! The USS Lantree is a quarantined vessel by order of Starfleet Command. Do not board!"

Pulaski later recommended a quarantine of the research station as well.
