(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 elevator (or other small room) and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. The threat is real.
