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: Two or more service groups are breaking each other down.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The bureaucracy has provoked an intractable crisis.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A senior Food Vat Control supervisor in INDIGO (Tension 15) empty food production area (IR-Y: Food Vats, G-U: hydroponic gardens), whose division is overproducing, underproducing or doing something strange to the food. (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: An exterior force will conquer Alpha Complex. The Computer dispatches the Troubleshooters to intercept the force. 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: A minor malfunction in INFRARED (Tension 3) crowded R&D biochemical research laboratory may grow into a major problem. The PCs must fix the malfunction and deal with the problems already created.
Mission Alert: A truckling INFRARED biohazard detection helper acting as a courier delivers alert verbally; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in ULTRAVIOLET mausoleum. Briefing officer is weird invalid (e.g., suspended in sound-dampening gel in a swimming pool communicating through a bizarre array of tubing).
This Mission: The transport system at INDIGO (Tension 16) crowded IntSec interrogation room has gone down. Repair it and determine the cause.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: The market is run entirely by Internal Security as a sting operation. Every buyer risks arrest and termination.
Debriefing: Troubleshooters and debriefing officer sit at a round table. Officer orders them to play a card or board game, while the officer encourages them to reveal details about their mission and about their feelings.
