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: Two or more service groups are breaking each other down.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The economy has grown even stranger than usual.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A lone Communist. (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 new mind-control technique will alter the PCs' or a large population's behavior for the worse. The Computer uses the PCs as guinea pigs again. The threat is a lie.
(Out To Get You) General real threat posed by the situation, or the consequences if the situation is left unresolved: A high-clearance official's malfeasance will be exposed, and paranoid with force sword (S3K energy) (He weapon is more lethal than the standard model. Much more lethal. (Weapon hits for one damage step above its maximum)) and kevlar armor (13) wishes to frame the Troubleshooters for the official's crime.
Mission Alert: Special "breaking news" bulletin in middle of vidshow: boring part. Identifies PCs by name. Recognition password (to be given to briefing officer) is wrong. The information is obscured by advertising (pop-up ad, jingle, viral marketing, etc.). Sponsoring advertiser may possibly have record of unaltered alert.
Briefing: Briefing is in ULTRAVIOLET mausoleum. 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 5) Proper Bedding Maintenance Hall of Fame. Neutralize it before it causes too much damage. If it talks to you, ignore it.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: Marketeer gives PCs a fair discount if they also take a "bonus" small dangerous creature from Outdoors, on leash; marketeer wants the PCs to leave it in Museum of Famous Forms.
Debriefing: Debriefing room is well appointed with luxurious carpet, comfortable chairs and refreshments served throughout. Soothing musics plays throughout the session. Laser emplacements are visible in every corner and track the PCs' every move.
