Episode Suggestion: The Syndies Are Due on Space Station 13
Inspired by the Twilight Zone episode by the name "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", this little story would start with the captain of the Destiny intercepting a transmission from the syndicates stating that a spy has been planted among the crew. After calling a meeting and having everyone group up in the bar, he gives a brief summary about the transmission and to be wary of people with dangerous weapons, chemicals, and traitorous gear. As the shift goes on, different people are found with said dangerous items and the crew becomes paranoid enough to shoot an innocent member down. In which at that point, all the crew members would gear up to protect themselves and get revenge, and the entire station would devolve into chaos. In the end, after the crew has slaughtered themselves in a desperate attempt to escape the syndicate, it turns out the syndicate had never sent a spy at all. Instead they sent the transmission in the open hoping it would be picked up, and that the denizens of Space Station 13 would be their own downfall.
