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 Commie mutant traitors are winning.(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: The 21st-degree leader of the secret society Communists, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his secret-society. (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: Waste disposal is breaking down; garbage is backing up in the hallways and will soon flood the complex. The threat is a lie.
(Out To Get You) General real threat posed by the situation, or the consequences if the situation is left unresolved: The "Someone" believes (accurately?) the PCs are assassins sent to kill him; he tries to kill them first. Meanwhile, the PCs must complete their mission.
Mission Alert: Stamped onto side of Telepathic Subconscious Message Emitter (currently stuck on violent setting). Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty IntSec janitorial stores. 1 suspicious, twitchy briefing officer(s) in highly defended position (e.g., seated atop a massive gun emplacement) at rear of RED (Tension 5) Museum of Famous Forms.
This Mission: Investigate accusations of GREEN Vulture Squadron flybot repair tech planting evidence against BLUE (bureaucratic obstacle, drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid)).
Outfitting: PLC: Serv-Yourself warehouse that makes every citizen find his own equipment.
Debriefing: Room contains nothing but miniature stools, where the PCs perch with difficulty and discomfort.
