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: Everyone else in the Complex is in league against the PCs.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: One or more laws of nature has been altered or revoked. It's light or sound.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A subsector's Infrareds, who have gone off their pharmatherapy and are now conspiring against The Computer, led by GREEN Armed Forces lieutenant (information source, drugged (sandallathon, visomorpain)). (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: 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. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Anonymous hardcopy message slipped under door of PC's quarters. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Sewer tunnel. Briefing officer is dead on arrival and no one comes to replace him. May have notes on his body that describe the PCs' mission.
This Mission: The food delivery system in BLUE (Tension 13) crowded dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall) has become plugged. Unplug it.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: 30% off. Delivery: will get around to it someday for sure. Nothing at all unusual about this transaction. Or is there? Sounds a little suspicious, doesn't it? Absolutely nothing wrong? Really? Hmm....
Debriefing: Debriefing room is well appointed with luxurious carpet, comfortable chairs and refreshments served throughout. Soothing musics plays throughout the session. Laser emplacements are visible in every corner and track the PCs' every move.
