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: A hostile force is manipulating the PCs' conscious will.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The economy has grown even stranger than usual.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A senior Food Vat Control supervisor in INFRARED (Tension 3) natural cavern, whose division is overproducing, underproducing or doing something strange to the food. (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 real.
Mission Alert: Via telepathic communication from unidentifiable source. The Computer knows nothing of this method, and will regard it with extreme suspicion. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Free Enterprise meeting room (has meeting in progress, meeting members recognize a PC as one of their own, welcome him). Officious, schoolmasterly briefing officer sitting at the head of a classroom with blackboard and chalk; tests PCs frequently.
This Mission: Guard the Food Vats from Pro Tech trying to taint them with drugs. Be careful not to taint them yourselves.
Outfitting: PLC: "Please Observe Silence" sign on the wall. Anyone who speaks gets bumped to the end of the line. All negotiations must be written.
Debriefing: Room contains nothing but miniature stools, where the PCs perch with difficulty and discomfort.
