I have a theory about Mellanby's ability to leave the Federation with Dayna. He made a deal with the authorities that he be allowed to leave, in return for giving them the fruits of his weaponry research.
This can explain his attitude towards weapons on Sarren, in terms of researching and developing them but not using them to kill. He knows that he is good at weapons research and development, so continues with it, but has a belief that if his weapons are used to kill (like in the rising on Earth) they will produce results that will hurt him and his family.
