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 Computer has taken a personal dislike to the PCs.(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 21st-degree leader of the secret society Pro Tech, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his secret-society. (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: Waste disposal is breaking down; garbage is backing up in the hallways and will soon flood the complex. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: A drugged INFRARED reactor fuel rod replenisher acting as a courier delivers alert hardcopy; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Briefing location is wrong. The information is replaced by extortion threat from anonymous hacker: "Send 100cr to this Gray Subnet account and I'll send you the data."
Briefing: Briefing is in IR marketeer living quarters. 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: An abandoned GREEN (Tension 12) inside a character's mind (INFRARED algae pizza delivery person (sadistic hindrance, drugged (sandallathon, visomorpain))) has been infested by Commies. Demolish it, preferably with the Commies inside.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: 10% off. Delivery: please allow 24 hours for delivery to PCs' specified address. The auction site has been compromised by a "phishing" scam. It appears to be legit, but is just designed to steal ME Card numbers.
Debriefing: Room contains nothing but miniature stools, where the PCs perch with difficulty and discomfort.
