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: Alpha Complex works so badly it endangers the PCs' lives.(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 suspicious or hateful way toward one specific PC.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A secret society mission that went right, led by paranoid with plasma generator (V1V energy) and kevlar armor (13) (The armor is more protective than the standard model. Much more protective. Prevents injuries almost entirely. It's also much more cumbersome.). (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: Endless wave of assassination attempts will befall wild eyed, incoherent, even frenzied, who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself. 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: Essential life-support services will break down. The Computer sends the Troubleshooters to enforce order and restore services.
Mission Alert: Special "breaking news" bulletin in middle of vidshow: boring part. Identifies PCs by name. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in PURGE meeting room (has meeting in progress). Briefing occurs in a pitch black room, where the only source of light is from the corridor outside the briefing room filtering in under the door. 2 officers present.
This Mission: Deliver this highly confidential package to BLUE senior polling consultant. Make sure no one opens it. (Contains sweaty dynamite.)
Outfitting: PLC: Designated supply depot is closed for repairs following Commie sabotage.
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.
Find weird phrasing, clearly erroneous output, or other signs of filthy commie mutant traitor sabotage? Copy the offending passages and email them to the High Programmer for investigation.
