Paranoia is the Irrational Fear Someone is Out To Get You
(Fear) Dominant type of fear to install in the PCs: The PCs are themselves the greatest threat to Alpha Complex.(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: The Indigo leader of a rapidly-growing Research & Design firm, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his company. (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 geological event will destroy Alpha Complex (shatter it, open it to the elements, turn it into a cheerily warm volcano, etc.). The threat is real.
Mission Alert: A drugged INFRARED food vat slime scraper acting as a courier delivers alert verbally; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Message is intact and correct.

This Mission: An R&D genetic experiment is running loose in GREEN (Tension 11) ULTRAVIOLET mausoleum. Neutralize it before it causes too much damage. If it talks to you, ignore it.
Outfitting: PLC: "Please Observe Silence" sign on the wall. Anyone who speaks gets bumped to the end of the line. All negotiations must be written.
Debriefing: A compact office with one desk and a chair, occupied by the debriefing officer, with the PCs standing amid towers of forms, printouts and manila folders, all bearing the names of one or more PCs.
