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 Commie mutant traitors are winning.(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 senior CPU efficiency consultant, who overreacted in imprudent ways in an effort to get proper paperwork filled out. (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 minor malfunction in INFRARED (Tension 2) Junior Citizen fort (no Commies allowed!) may grow into a major problem. The PCs must fix the malfunction and deal with the problems already created. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Scrawled across a ORANGE (Tension 8) empty vidshow entertainment lounge wall in half-meter-high letters written in mid-clearance paint. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty hospital ER. Briefing officer whispers the briefing to the team leader and then expects him to pass it on in the style of Telephone or Chinese Whispers.
This Mission: Deliver a shipment of fragile, badly-needed treason file on INDIGO Citizen Recycling Devices CTO to RED (Tension 4) Technical Services clone backup ordering office.
Outfitting: PLC: Designated supply depot is closed for repairs following Commie sabotage.
Debriefing: Room is fitted with seesaws, with a PC sitting on one side of each and a Blue Trooper with blaster on the other. In the lower position, the PCs are obscured by a charred blast shield. The debriefing officer reads mission details, raising each PC on a note of treason, lowering them on a point of commendation. (This is an experimental HPD&MC psychological exercise intended to encourage loyalty.)
