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: Alpha Complex is just a simulation; nothing is physically real.

(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 magnetism, electricity or other energy.

(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A senior CPU efficiency consultant, who overreacted in imprudent ways in an effort to get proper paperwork filled out. (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 briefing rooms in Troubleshooter HQ and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. 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 high-clearance official's malfeasance will be exposed, and drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid) wishes to frame the Troubleshooters for the official's crime.

Mission Alert: A polite INFRARED dihydromonoxide treatment attendant acting as a courier delivers alert verbally; seeks 10cr 'tip' for the delivery. Briefing location is wrong. The information is obscured by advertising (pop-up ad, jingle, viral marketing, etc.). Sponsoring advertiser may possibly have record of unaltered alert.

Briefing: Briefing is in empty IntSec surveillance station. Briefing officer is weird invalid (e.g., suspended in sound-dampening gel in a swimming pool communicating through a bizarre array of tubing).

This Mission: Investigate an unexplained disaster in crowded dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall).

Outfitting: PLC: Office; looks very busy, but nothing ever gets done. Careful inspection shows all workers are passing the same papers back and forth quickly.

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.
