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: One or more laws of nature has been altered or revoked. It's gravity.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: The 21st-degree leader of the secret society Death Leopard, 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: The "Someone" has taken control of crowded IntSec janitorial stores and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Briefing location is wrong. The information is replaced by extortion threat from anonymous hacker: "Send 100cr to this Gray Subnet account and I'll send you the data."
Briefing: Briefing is in Sierra Club meeting room (has meeting in progress, meeting members recognize a PC as one of their own, welcome him). Briefing officer is hidden inside a Scrubot chassis, communicating with an electronically filtered voice.
This Mission: Deliver a shipment of fragile, badly-needed electromagnetic clothing (Experimental R&D equipment, makes wearer a living magnet; can stick to metal walls, watch out for knives!) to GREEN (Tension 11) R&D biochemical research laboratory.
Outfitting: PLC: Office; looks very busy, but nothing ever gets done. Careful inspection shows all workers are passing the same papers back and forth quickly.
Debriefing: A mirrored room filled with eye-searing halogen lamps. The PCs' eyes water constantly. The officer and guards wear shaded full-face visors.
