Your Mission
The Computer has generated the following mission for your team. It has been carefully designed to ensure the maximum safety and satisfaction for your team.
Paranoia is the Irrational Fear Someone is Out To Get You
(Fear) Dominant type of fear to install in the PCs: The PCs are themselves the greatest threat to Alpha Complex.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Everyone in Alpha Complex behaves in an inexplicably kind way toward all PCs.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: An executive at one of the PCs' service firms, who wishes to covertly create the situation in order to procure a fat service-group repair contract. (The identity of the Someone need not be obvious at the mission's outset, and in fact things may play out more appropriately if the Someone is not discovered until late in the proceedings.)
(Out To Get You) General apparent threat posed by the situation, or the consequences if the situation is left unresolved: Roll three times on this chart. Everything you roll is happening at once, and the PCs are caught in the chaos. Good luck running this one. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Stamped onto side of vat of liquid nitrogen (freezes solid anything living upon contact). Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty Technical Services cloning facility (well guarded). When the PCs leave the briefing an explosion follows, leaving no evidence of the officer except a large burn mark and melted furnishings.
This Mission: INFRARED barracks bedding delouser has a treasonous but powerful Telekinesis (c/z), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over empty hospital ER. Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: PLC: A Monty Python "Cheese Shop" warehouse; nothing is actually in stock. Staffers are proud of their multiple awards for cleanliness and efficiency.
Debriefing: The debriefing officer sits in complete silence while paging through several thick files, flanked by BLUE Vulture troopers armed with cone rifles. PCs who speak are met with scowls. The debriefing ends without a word.
Find weird phrasing, clearly erroneous output, or other signs of filthy commie mutant traitor sabotage? Copy the offending passages and email them to the High Programmer for investigation.
