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 deluxe PDC with enhanced infrared-light camera (shoots accurately in total darkness) the PCs cherish will be destroyed.(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 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: Essential life-support services will break down. The Computer sends the Troubleshooters to enforce order and restore services. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Briefing time is wrong. The alert itself is damaging-text message contains software virus that crashes PDC or vidscreen, physical alert has toxins or is radioactive, etc.
Briefing: Briefing is in Proper Bedding Maintenance Hall of Fame. Briefing officer is hidden inside a 7 Combots chassis, communicating with an electronically filtered voice.
This Mission: Deliver this a small metallic can that bleeps constantly (the Computer claims it's extremely important) (or bot brain) to ULTRAVIOLET on a stretcher carried by two INDIGO citizens; sipping an ice-cold mint julep; looks fine. Though the item appears treasonous, rest assured it is perfectly above-board. Perfectly.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: list price. Delivery: agreed drop point nearby (INFRARED (Tension 1) inside Alpha Complex dome ), immediate. Nothing at all unusual about this transaction. Or is there? Sounds a little suspicious, doesn't it? Absolutely nothing wrong? Really? Hmm....
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.
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.
