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 effect the PCs are ordered to prevent will be caused by their actions.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The Computer has decreed a new holiday with odd customs and practices, and everyone knows about it but the PCs.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: An Armed Forces director, who mis-keyed some form entries and mistakenly diverted military resources to "Irrational" effect. (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: Waste disposal is breaking down; garbage is backing up in the hallways and will soon flood the complex. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: A polite INFRARED drug therapy results assistant acting as a courier delivers alert hardcopy; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in abandoned Armed Forces armory. When the PCs leave the briefing an explosion follows, leaving no evidence of the officer except a large burn mark and melted furnishings.
This Mission: An R&D genetic experiment is running loose in RED (Tension 4) empty living quarters (IR: barracks; R-Y: dormitory; G-B: apartment; I-U: mansion). Neutralize it before it causes too much damage. If it talks to you, ignore it.
Outfitting: PLC: A PLC shop that has none of the equipment needed, but is willing to make utterly weird and crazed substitutions, could be potentially cool stuff.
Debriefing: Debriefing takes place in a cinema with stadium seating, popcorn and Bouncy Bubble Beverage, with security camera and bot recordings of each PC's less commendable activities projected onscreen.
