I'd say sex in the office is very inappropriate and unprofessional. Of course, this is a pseudo-Trek type not-really-military, so it would probably never be a big as a deal as it would be in real life, but I think it would still be okay to split them up.
It's also fairly easy to consider Mercer and Kelly's interaction with Lowe as a form of date rape, and then using that to broker a peace seems to send a bit of a questionable message.
I think they also missed an opportunity - the scene with Mercer surprising Kelly with Darulio again would have been much better if it was this time Kelly surprising Mercer and Darulio.
