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: Alpha Complex is just a simulation; nothing is physically real.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The economy has grown even stranger than usual.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A Death Leopard gang. (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: Endless wave of assassination attempts will befall paranoid with stun gun (stuns for one round) and reflec armor (El; colored as appropriate, or BLUE), who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Scrawled across a RED (Tension 5) IR market wall in half-meter-high letters written in mid-clearance paint. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in heat-resistant mitten knitting sweatshop. Briefing officer sits with his back to the PCs; he passes notes to a terrified Infrared citizen, who reads them aloud.
This Mission: We suspect RED PLC order processing worker (information source, wild eyed, incoherent, even frenzied), who's infiltrating a Armed Forces firm for Internal Security, of being a double-agent for Internal Security plant (hiding as Anti-Mutant). Infiltrate the firm and see where his allegiance lies.
Outfitting: PLC: Office only carries "non-ordinance" items-no weapons or weapon-like items. Offers PCs a new "Zero-Tolerance" form to sign.
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.
