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 Commie mutant traitors are losing, and that's bad.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Changed perceptions only certain characters (BLUE senior slime researcher (sadistic hindrance, gullible (worryingly lacking in paranoia))), including one or more PCs. The changed perception is hearing.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A scrubot reprogrammed by Corpore Metal. (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 postal sorting room and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. 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 broom cupboard (or other small room) is flooding the networks with viruses.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in MemoMax archive vault. Briefing officer is hidden inside a Teachbot chassis, communicating with an electronically filtered voice.
This Mission: Investigate accusations of GREEN mission alert announcement officer planting evidence against VIOLET (information source, paranoid with blaster (M3K energy) and None).
Outfitting: Infrared Market: Red Market, run by Commies. They only barter or trade evenly. PCs who own little more than their own overalls must buy items elsewhere, then come back here to trade for similarly priced items. (You could make them trade for the shirts off their backs.)
Debriefing: A pitch black room, with dim light filtering in under the entrance door. Unsettling clicking noises, like a trigger being pulled on a jammed gun.
Find weird phrasing, clearly erroneous output, or other signs of filthy commie mutant traitor sabotage? Copy the offending passages and email them to the High Programmer for investigation.
