Lost & Found — Political Ephemera — File 2028-DS9

Campaign Posters from Another Dimension

A complete election cycle from a universe where Deep Space Nine was a documentary.

Eight political artefacts appeared in Warehouse 12 during a power surge. No ballot papers accompanied them, and the Department of Dimensional Compliance has declined to speculate on the result. The posters smell faintly of kanar.

Recovered Materials

The sequence below follows the archivist's best reconstruction of the campaign. Select any poster to inspect the full-size artefact.

Elim Garak presidential campaign poster with an American flag and the US Capitol

Official campaign poster

Garak for President

Archivist's note: The candidate describes himself only as a plain, simple tailor. The disclosure form attached to the poster is 847 pages long and almost entirely redacted.

Grainy surveillance-style attack poster asking Who Is Elim Garak

Dukat campaign attack ad

Who Is Elim Garak?

Archivist's note: Paid for by Dukat for a Stronger America. The committee listed no treasurer, no address, and seventeen separate headquarters.

Warm campaign poster showing Elim Garak in his tailor shop

Garak campaign rebuttal

They Call Me Dangerous

Archivist's note: Released eleven minutes after the Dukat advertisement. Campaign staff insist the speed of the response proves nothing whatsoever.

Gaudy gold campaign endorsement poster featuring Quark, dabo tables, and bars of latinum

Super PAC endorsement

Prosperity Has a Price

Archivist's note: The Rules of Acquisition Action Committee reported every donation accurately after defining “accurately” in a private appendix.

Minimalist independent campaign poster showing Odo with his arms folded

Independent candidate poster

Order. Justice. Odo.

Archivist's note: No slogan committee, donor reception, or campaign merchandise could be verified. This appears to be intentional.

Gold-on-charcoal presidential debate poster announcing Worf as moderator

Debate announcement

The 2028 Presidential Debate

Archivist's note: The rules allow sixty seconds per answer and no interruptions. A handwritten addition reads: “There will be consequences.”

Hand-painted Bashir 2028 campaign sign standing on a suburban lawn

Grassroots yard sign

Bashir 2028

Archivist's note: Recovered from a lawn whose owner denied placing it there, then supplied a forty-minute explanation of the candidate’s qualifications.

Coffee-stained typed non-endorsement memo from Benjamin Sisko pinned to a noticeboard

Starfleet memorandum

A Formal Non-Endorsement

Archivist's note: The document does not endorse any candidate. It does, however, underline the word “no” three times and carries a faint smell of raktajino.
