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: Alpha Complex is just a simulation; nothing is physically real.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Changed perceptions apparent to all citizens. The changed perception is thoughts or memories.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A docbot 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 deadly pathogen is eating through the population. The PCs are infected the moment their clone backups are decanted. Better hurry on the mission! The threat is real.
Mission Alert: A truckling INFRARED scrubot lint screen cleaner acting as a courier delivers alert verbally; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty bathroom (change Tension level to 20). Briefing officer is hiding inside an empty Cold Fun barrel and passes written notes out to the PCs through a small bunghole.
This Mission: INFRARED sector roadway maintenance worker has a treasonous but powerful Slippery Skin (c), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over empty decaying and pestilential wreck of an abandoned sector: forms processing center. Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: PLC: Serv-Yourself warehouse that makes every citizen find his own equipment.
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.
