Endgame: Chekov's Gun
Khan approached the physics defying generator, a look of satisfaction in his his. This was the moment he had waited his whole life for. He was finally about to overcome the one obstacle that even genetic engineering couldn't cure, death itself. All he needed to do was learn the secrets of this power source, and immortality and omnipotence would be his.
Still in his delusional state, Pavel Chekov ran down yet another corridor of the seemingly endless station.
Admiral Pike had given up on trying to chase Chekov, and instead decided to try find somebody else. It was disconcerting how empty the station felt. Almost as if everyone else had already died. A chill crept up Pike's spine that had nothing to do with the station's temperature. Something was about to happen. Something big.
An instant before Khan's fingers came into contact with the generator, the great station pulsed, continuing its erratic heartbeat. As the station beat, the corridors rearranged themselves.
Suddenly, Chekov and Pike were right outside the power plant's door. The Ensign snagged Pike's phaser and dashed into the generator room, with the phaser leveled in front of him. Khan barely had time to look up before he was shot with full power at point blank range. The Mighty Khan was no more...
Hello Officer Snake,
You are Khan! You are an enhanced human, and were considered a Genocidal Tyrant and therefore frozen in cryogenic stasis. You were revived by Admiral Marcus and used to design ships.
You are the Godfather Rolecop. You are the Boss of the Mafia, and any checks against you will come up as Town. You can check one person per night & you will learn their role.
You are allied with the Mafia and therefore win when all other threats have been eliminated.
Please confirm your role in-game, and good luck!

Admiral Pike walked in to the power room, confused.
"...what just happened?" he asked.
"This station is like a liwing thing," explained Chekov, who had somehow managed to reason this all out while drunk and delusional, "when the station beat like a heart, the hallways vould reconfigure themselves. That's how, despite the large size of the station, we were always either finding exactly what we needed at any giwen moment, or always bumping into each other."
"But why didn't we notice this?" wondered Pike.
"It's simple," said Chekov, "after a while, we got so used to the station pulsing that we just didn't notice it happening, but it was. That's how you could newer quite seem to catch up to me. Our glorious hosts decided it would be best for dramatic effects if ve veren't reunited until the last minute."
Pike looked around hopefully, but was immediately crestfallen.
"...we're the only ones here," he remarked, "does that mean..."
"Unfortunately, most likely yes," replied Chekov, "if there vas anybody else alive, the Cossacks Q and Trelane vould have probably arranged for them to be here as vell."
"...so we won," sighed Pike, "but at what cost?"
Town has won! Congratulations!

I never came across any mention of a "friendly neighbour" but that's not what I meant anyway. In my head neighbourizer recruits, then they can confirm or deny (mafioso gotta mafia) that person being town.
