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: An file of PURGE members led by VIOLET vidshow legend the PCs cherish will be destroyed.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: A particular drug suddenly has inexplicably altered effects.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A senior Food Vat Control supervisor in GREEN (Tension 12) ULTRAVIOLET mausoleum, whose division is overproducing, underproducing or doing something strange to the food. (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 Computer believes something horrible has happened, but gives the PCs no details, and forbids them to tell anyone for fear of starting a panic. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Briefing time 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 private slime farm. Briefing officer is hidden inside a Pharmabot (hovering sphere that injects drugs and dispenses pills) chassis, communicating with an electronically filtered voice.
This Mission: Members of Romantics and Psion are trading illegal B3 laced with MemWipe (s) at natural cavern. Retrieve the goods and the creds.
Outfitting: PLC: Warehouse run by insane high-clearance director; assigns PCs a mission (The transport system at YELLOW (Tension 10) Sewer tunnel has gone down. Repair it and determine the cause.) on his own behalf so he can give them over-inventoried behavior modifier (hypnosis devices, pheromone emitters, subsonic/supersonic irritants); Problem: intelligent; neurotic or frightened.
Debriefing: A pitch black room, with dim light filtering in under the entrance door. Unsettling clicking noises, like a trigger being pulled on a jammed gun.
