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 has taken a personal dislike to the PCs.(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 all PCs.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: An R&D experiment that went right, created by psychotic, kill-crush-smash-destroy. (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 mysterious command makes all autopilot vehicles home in on ULTRAVIOLET (Tension 19) empty living quarters (IR: barracks; R-Y: dormitory; G-B: apartment; I-U: mansion), threatening terrible harm en route; the "Someone" wants a traffic jam there. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Announced over public address loudspeakers. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty vidshow entertainment lounge. 2 briefing officers undercover; wary, paranoid; speak in evasive code-phrases.
This Mission: A Vulture Squadron has been infiltrated by no less than 17 Commie traitors. Remove them; ensure they fall in the line of duty, so we can honor them as fallen heroes.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: Free Enterprise member "Nathan D," operator of this IR market, is messily killed by rival FreeEnt capo in PCs' presence.
Debriefing: The debriefing officer is dead on arrival, seated at an empty desk in a plain room, and no one arrives to replace him.
