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: Mysterious duplicates or analogues of the PCs or other RED Group Singalong Choir leader (bureaucratic obstacle, amicable, self-interested, ordinary)s are active in Alpha Complex.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A Death Leopard gang. (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 postal sorting room and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Anonymous hardcopy message slipped under door of PC's workplace. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in map room for several sectors. Briefing officer sits curled up and rocking backwards and forwards in the middle of the location; muttering under his breath-
This Mission: Deliver a shipment of fragile, badly-needed Scrubot (or bot brain) to INFRARED (Tension 1) food preparation area Food Vats.

Delivery: agreed drop point nearby (ULTRAVIOLET (Tension 19) crowded decaying and pestilential wreck of an abandoned sector: dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall)), immediate. Drop point to pick up purchased equipment is Psion meeting room (it's empty) run by Computer Phreaks, which charges a 2% commission for services.
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.
