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: The PCs' secret societies have turned against them.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: A particular drug suddenly has inexplicably altered effects.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: An executive at one of the PCs' service firms, who wishes to covertly create the situation in order to procure a fat service-group repair contract. (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 minor malfunction in GREEN (Tension 11) crowded hangar (or other large room) may grow into a major problem. The PCs must fix the malfunction and deal with the problems already created. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Briefing location is wrong. The information is replaced by extortion threat from anonymous hacker: "Send 100cr to this Gray Subnet account and I'll send you the data."
Briefing: Briefing is in acid-etched sinkhole under food production area. Officer has serious coughing fit every few words, disrupting every sentence, and becomes increasingly angry with every request to repeat himself.
This Mission: The food delivery system in VIOLET (Tension 17) Illuminati (undercover as Internal Security plant (hiding as Mystics)) meeting room (has meeting in progress) has become plugged. Unplug it.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: list price. Delivery: agreed drop point nearby (INFRARED (Tension 3) crowded packing crate (or other small room)), immediate. A PC's auction site account has been hijacked by a Computer Phreak using it to auction treasonous warbot plans.
Debriefing: A cavernous spherical reactor coolant chamber (recently decommisioned) with the PCs securely strapped into dentist chairs at wrist, ankle, waist and chin. The booming voice of the unseen officer echoes from strategically placed speakers.
