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 Computer personally likes the PCs too well.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The security clearance system has provoked an intractable crisis.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: Everyone in BLUE (Tension 13) elevator (or other small room) is in on it; they want to discredit, destroy, maim and spit on the Troubleshooters. (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: A high-clearance official's malfeasance will be exposed, and drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid) wishes to frame the Troubleshooters for the official's crime. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Special "breaking news" bulletin in middle of vidshow: good part. Identifies PCs by name. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in crowded reactor outer core. Briefing officer is hidden inside a 20 Guardbots chassis, communicating with an electronically filtered voice.
This Mission: An abandoned ORANGE (Tension 7) crowded garage / vehicle dispatch has been infested by Commies. Demolish it, preferably with the Commies inside.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: A dingy, dirty corridor. PURGE runs this market, and will terminate any group who "misbehaves" (in PURGE's stern judgment). Lots of weapons.
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.
