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: Two or more service groups are breaking each other down.(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 paranoid with laser pistol (W3K energy) with INFRARED barrel and reflec armor (El; colored as appropriate, or ORANGE). (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 IR market is flooding the networks with viruses. 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: A major malfunction has rendered an entire sector uninhabitable; the local environment kills an unprotected citizen in minutes if not seconds.
Mission Alert: Stamped onto side of Botulin toxin. Briefing location is wrong. The information is missing, replaced by [INSERT DATA HERE] or similar. Secret society contacts or servile truckling to The Computer may fill in missing data.
Briefing: Briefing is in Proper Bedding Maintenance Hall of Fame. Briefing officer wears None and fiddles with an exotic-looking laser pistol (W3K energy) with YELLOW barrel; expects attack at any moment.
This Mission: We suspect ORANGE sector sign correction manager (bureaucratic obstacle, buzzing, high on Wakey-Wakey), who's infiltrating a HPD & Mind Control firm for Internal Security, of being a double-agent for Illuminati (undercover as Computer Phreaks). Infiltrate the firm and see where his allegiance lies.
Outfitting: PLC: PLC office openly and entirely subverted by Communists; continues business as usual, unless PCs show signs of alerting the authorities.
Debriefing: A pitch black room, with dim light filtering in under the entrance door. Unsettling clicking noises, like a trigger being pulled on a jammed gun.
