Intrigue on Risa (AKA the Borgy)

Run date: September 2018

The Enterprise has docked at the Federation’s pleasure planet Risa for some long overdue shore leave. Risa is known for its beautiful, artificially created surrounds and *very* friendly residents. However, the crew have barely had time to take their shirts off when a shocking crime is committed. The original sacred fertility statue, carved by one of the founders of Risa and honoured by all Risians has somehow been stolen.

Participants can choose to be a Risean (sexy alien) or a Star Fleet officer (sexy space explorer), and will be provided with a character card giving a brief background to their character, and part of the plot to reveal (or conceal). Characters will have additional sidequests revealed on the night and props will be provided for these. Appropriate costumes are welcome, but you don’t actually need to know anything about Star Trek to participate. Conversely, if you want to start rocking conversational Klingon that works fine too.

Your quest is to try to discover who stole the sacred Risian fertility statue, and if possible how they did it. Try to talk to as many characters as you can in the time available, but keep true to how you think your character would act.
