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: One or more laws of nature has been altered or revoked. It's gravity.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A jackobot reprogrammed by Humanists. (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 "Someone" in a MemoMax archive vault is flooding the networks with viruses. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Internal Security plant (hiding as Psion)'s paint-mixing facility. 2 suspicious, twitchy briefing officer(s) in highly defended position (e.g., seated atop a massive gun emplacement) at rear of YELLOW (Tension 10) empty dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall).
This Mission: Deliver these emergency needle gun (S3W impact) to a Troubleshooter team under attack. No, you don't need to be armed; it's a simple delivery mission!
Outfitting: Infrared Market: A "Broke" market. Troubleshooters always leave broke, with stuff that's broke. Bad deals all around.
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.)
