Assay office

The assay office (aka Office of the Assayer) was a facility located on the Promenade of Deep Space 9 and used for the storage of valuable items.
The most secure location on the station, each storage locker in the assay office was surrounded on all sides by individual force fields. The locks could only be opened using a personal authorization code combined with a verified retinal scan. The retinal scanners were Cardassian-made MK-12 models, with L-90 enhanced resolution filters.
