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 aerosol paint stripper the PCs cherish will be destroyed.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The security clearance system has provoked an intractable crisis.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: The Indigo leader of a rapidly-growing Central Processing Unit firm, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his company. (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 Computer believes something horrible has happened, but gives the PCs no details, and forbids them to tell anyone for fear of starting a panic. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Mystics's paint-mixing facility. Briefing officer wears camouflage suit (Experimental R&D equipment; works like Chameleon mutant power; one shot can render it completely useless) and fiddles with an exotic-looking stun gun (stuns for one round); expects attack at any moment.
This Mission: Traitors with Hypersenses (c/s) are active in YELLOW (Tension 9) empty confession booth. Use this Skin Core Sampler to obtain their genetic material for study.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: 30% off. Delivery: please allow 24 hours for delivery to PCs' specified address. Items the PCs want are listed against a red-tinted background. No other items are. What's up? (Nothing. But keep the players nervous about it.)
Debriefing: The debriefing officer stands behind a massive, blast-shielded podium flanked by blue Vulture troopers with plasma generators, while the PCs sit in brilliant interrogation spotlights that look disconcertingly like bullseyes.
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.
