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 losing, and that's bad.(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 light or sound.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A secret society mission that went right, led by buzzing, high on Wakey-Wakey. (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" has taken control of empty food production area (IR-Y: Food Vats, G-U: hydroponic gardens) and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Scrawled across a INFRARED (Tension 1) crowded computer interface (IR: public terminals area; R-Y: Computer cafe; G-B: private terminal, I-U: communications nexus) wall in half-meter-high letters written in mid-clearance paint. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Junior Citizen fort (no Commies allowed!). Briefing occurs in a pitch black room, where the only source of light is from the corridor outside the briefing room filtering in under the door. 2 officers present.
This Mission: Deliver this highly confidential package to BLUE sector vidshow network regulator. Make sure no one opens it. (Contains plutonium.)
Outfitting: PLC: Supply clerks recently infected with SellFast.D spam virus, insist all PCs enroll in "Make Credits Fast!" marketing course.
Debriefing: Debriefing room is well appointed with luxurious carpet, comfortable chairs and refreshments served throughout. Soothing musics plays throughout the session. Laser emplacements are visible in every corner and track the PCs' every move.
