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 front-row tickets to Championship FunBall game the PCs cherish will be destroyed.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Mysterious duplicates or analogues of the PCs or other YELLOW PLC "Yellowpants" management consultant (information source, paranoid with cone rifle (ammo as in entry 9) and specialized armor suited to circumstances (environment suit, Faraday suit, asbestos clothing, if no specialty is useful, substitute kevlar))s are active in Alpha Complex.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A powerful mutant who wishes to see his own kind of mutants dominate, and normal humans and all other kinds of mutants subservient. (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 Junior Citizen fort (no Commies allowed!) is flooding the networks with viruses. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Scrawled across a GREEN (Tension 12) abandoned food production area (IR-Y: Food Vats, G-U: hydroponic gardens) wall in half-meter-high letters written in high-clearance paint. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in abandoned Junior Citizen creche. Briefing officer is shot just after the PCs arrive and is replaced by a different officer who acts extremely shifty and refuses to answer questions.
This Mission: IntSec has been infiltrated by no less than 9 Commie traitors. Remove them; ensure they fall in the line of duty, so we can honor them as fallen heroes.
Outfitting: PLC: Office; looks very busy, but nothing ever gets done. Careful inspection shows all workers are passing the same papers back and forth quickly.
Debriefing: A mirrored room filled with eye-searing halogen lamps. The PCs' eyes water constantly. The officer and guards wear shaded full-face visors.
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.
