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 PCs' secret societies have turned against them.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Changed perceptions only certain characters (INDIGO Hygiene Policy Overseer (information source, psychotic, kill-crush-smash-destroy)), including one or more PCs. The changed perception is thoughts or memories.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: One or more PCs' immediate superior, who has screwed up badly and now wants to pin the blame on the PC and his fellow 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 geological event will destroy Alpha Complex (shatter it, open it to the elements, turn it into a cheerily warm volcano, etc.). 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" in a inside a character's mind (YELLOW Armed Forces master sergeant (indifferent bystander, drugged (sandallathon, visomorpain))) is flooding the networks with viruses.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Briefing location is wrong. The information is replaced by treasonous Computer Phreaks propaganda.
Briefing: Briefing is in PURGE meeting room (holds only guards). Officious, schoolmasterly briefing officer sitting at the head of a classroom with blackboard and chalk; tests PCs frequently.
This Mission: INFRARED sector monitor screen polisher has a treasonous but powerful Teleportation (c/z), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over [[Bad entry ]]. Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: A "Broke" market. Troubleshooters always leave broke, with stuff that's broke. Bad deals all around.
Debriefing: Room is sheet steel with a single chair in the center and a large sign: PLEASE SIT DOWN with arrow pointing to the chair. The debriefing officer spends the session pacing around the chair, and (if necessary) discourages PCs from sitting in it. Chair is harmless.
