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: A hostile force is manipulating the PCs' conscious will.(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: The Computer-or, if it makes more sense, a paranoid with sonic rifle (S3W energy) and kevlar armor (13) ULTRAVIOLET who is currently the youngest UV citizen in the Complex (probably late teens) manipulating The Computer's local CompNode. (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 high-clearance official's malfeasance will be exposed, and drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid) wishes to frame the Troubleshooters for the official's crime. 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: The "Someone" believes (accurately?) the PCs are assassins sent to kill him; he tries to kill them first. Meanwhile, the PCs must complete their mission.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in inside a character's mind (ORANGE Tech Services service technician (indifferent bystander, amicable, self-interested, ordinary)). 3 briefing officers undercover; wary, paranoid; speak in evasive code-phrases.
This Mission: INFRARED biohazard detection helper has a treasonous but powerful Slippery Skin (c), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over empty dispatch in Troubleshooter HQ. Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: Marketeer gives PCs a fair discount if they also take a "bonus" small vat of liquid nitrogen (freezes solid anything living upon contact); marketeer wants the PCs to [[Bad entry ]].
Debriefing: Room is sheet steel with a single chair in the center and a large sign: PLEASE SIT DOWN with arrow pointing to the chair. The debriefing officer spends the session pacing around the chair, and (if necessary) discourages PCs from sitting in it. Chair is lethal.
