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: Everyone in Alpha Complex behaves in an inexplicably fearful and alarmed way toward one specific PC.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A jackobot reprogrammed by Humanists. (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 minor malfunction in ORANGE (Tension 8) empty reactor outer core may grow into a major problem. The PCs must fix the malfunction and deal with the problems already created. 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" has taken control of abandoned food preparation area Food Vats and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem.
Mission Alert: A polite INFRARED drug therapy results assistant acting as a courier delivers alert verbally; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in outside Alpha Complex dome . Officious, schoolmasterly briefing officer sitting at the head of a classroom with blackboard and chalk; tests PCs frequently.
This Mission: The beverage delivery system in GREEN (Tension 11) crowded chimney (or other large room) has become plugged. Unplug it.
Outfitting: PLC: Baffle-ravaged warehouse (holes in walls, etc.); has desired equipment, though. Staffers war-weary, twitchy, but forcefully happy.
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.
