You are feeling pretty worn down at the end of your shift in Ops, and decide to find that bar on the Promenade you keep hearing about. It’s not a huge place, as you’d expect on a space station. The decor is…different. Not Bajoran, and definitely not Federation, and seems a little crowded and colorful for a Cardassian hangout, from what you’ve heard about Cardassians, anyway. There’s music, but no dance floor. But there are several crowded gaming tables.
Someone enters the room right behind you. The tables grow quiet - the sound of gold pressed latinum bars clacking against each other and against the table surfaces ends abruptly.
Curious, you look behind and see that it’s the Constable. Constable. What a strange sounding title, a law enforcement holdover from the days when the station belonged to the Cardassians. Technically, he’s now the security chief, but most station residents still call him Constable.
He’s a strange one. His form and features are bipedal, but no one would mistake that lumpish clay-like face for any of the humanoid species from the Alpha quadrant.
An alarm sounds “Intruder Alert! on the Promenade!” You look around the bar. There are easily 2 dozen species present and represented, but from their various reactions to the alarm, who knows if they’re friend, foe, bystander?
“Initiate scan,” you bark, and everyone freezes, The ones with epidermal hair experience goosebumps from the energy pulses.
The Constable, though, appears to be – melting? His crude facial features sink inward, and he becomes a sort of golden liquid. Someone from behind the bar tosses you a bucket. “He’ll be needing that.”
You shrug and set the bucket down by the Constable’s metamorphic feet. As though he’d been holding on to his shape for dear life, the Constable literally pours into the bucket, sloshes once or twice and then grows still.
A different sort of glow appears on the molten surface. They look like embers from a campfire. They rise and flit aimlessly for a moment before flashing out of the bar and onto the Promenade proper. You hear gasps and screams as you rush after the cloud of sparks. They hover for a moment near the Bajoran Temple, and then fly forcefully at the nearest huge window-like port. There’s a popping sound, and you realize that they are now on the other side of the port. The Wormhole dramatically appears like a huge cloudlike vortex spinning crazily. The red sparks rush toward the Wormhole, but it closes abruptly before they can pass through.
The sparks spread and thin out, then move toward Bajor itself. They sink into the atmosphere and eventually are completely obscured by heavy clouds.
It looks like a storm is brewing.

Thread reopened!
thanks for game!!! 
gg town, catspurr sucks, the usual stuff
see i told you i’m an amazing player who definitely wasn’t wrong about MS.
i wasn’t nervous for even a second. 
Yaaaaaaay!!!
thanks for the awesome game ffery! Flavour was great, setup was solid, modding was timely and accurate. No complaints!
I feel like I may owe Srceenplay an apology… 
sorry for being an asshat.
I already apologized to him day 3, so I’m good there
oooh… so that’s why MS and myself were chosen… hah!
catspurr, you played really well, there’s no way I could have lasted as long as you did… obviously, since I was on the verge of getting lynched as town. 
You got unlucky with your partners getting killed off, and unlucky that we randomly chose you to lynch on d4!
He did an awesome job… very well played
I’ve added the game design, night actions, qts, pts, etc to my post above.
I’m really glad you guys enjoyed the game!
I’ve had an idea for a ds9 game for about 25 players for a long while. One of these days I’ll nail down all the loose ends and run it!
In the meanwhile this game is a small taste of all the crazy going on in my brain for the big game!
Very interesting game ob. Very memorable. Was so challenging. I always want to praise the scum team… because its soo hard. Really well done guys
we are freeeee!!!
