Paranoia is the Irrational Fear Someone is Out To Get You
(Fear) Dominant type of fear to install in the PCs: The PCs have enough resources but too little time to win.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Changed perceptions only certain characters (RED manager of INFRARED mess hall (indifferent bystander, paranoid with ice gun (S3K impact) and kevlar armor (13))), including one or more PCs. The changed perception is hearing.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A fleet of docbots reprogrammed by Humanists. (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: A geological event will destroy Alpha Complex (shatter it, open it to the elements, turn it into a cheerily warm volcano, etc.). The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in abandoned and forgotten portal to the Outdoors. Briefing officer is shot just after the PCs arrive and is replaced by a different officer who acts extremely shifty and refuses to answer questions.
This Mission: Neutralize INFRARED mess hall grease trap cleaner (sadistic hindrance, paranoid with needle gun (S3W impact) and ArmorAll (4)) in crowded Internal Security storage facility or warehouse.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: The market is run entirely by Internal Security as a sting operation. Every buyer risks arrest and termination.
Debriefing: The debriefing officer is dead on arrival, seated at an empty desk in a plain room, and no one arrives to replace him.
