THE DEEP SPACE NINE PLOT GENERATOR


By Matthew Murray
Based on an idea by Phil Rutschman

Have you ever wanted to come up with stories of your own of quality that meets, or even exceeds, that seen on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Well, now you can! Simply pick one of the six possible options under each number and insert it into the template below, and you too can have action and adventure, the unique likes of which you'll only see on Deep Space Nine, right now! No more waiting for the next new episode! It's fun! It's easy! And the best part about it is that someone completely unfamiliar with the show won't be able to tell the difference between your plot and one the actual writers of the show invented! (Note from Phil: The opinions expressed herein are those of Matthew Murray and may or may not reflected the attitudes of the management and staff at Nitpicker Central! Just having a little fun here!)
