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 doomed, and not in a good way.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: Changed perceptions only certain characters (ORANGE Handler (bot specialist) (bureaucratic obstacle, gullible (worryingly lacking in paranoia))), including one or more PCs. The changed perception is thoughts or memories.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A fleet of scrubots 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: Roll three times on this chart. Everything you roll is happening at once, and the PCs are caught in the chaos. Good luck running this one. 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: Endless wave of assassination attempts will befall drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid), who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself.
Mission Alert: Mission is randomly assigned as a prize in a CruncheeTym algae chips packet. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in natural cavern. Bureaucratic snafu assigns briefing officer to the room above the PCs; won't join PCs for fear of violating orders; shouts at the top of his voice to be heard, or conveys briefing information by notes, courier, Morse code, etc..
This Mission: Neutralize INDIGO retirement gulag overseer (information source, amicable, self-interested, ordinary) in empty dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall).
Outfitting: PLC: A PLC shop that has none of the equipment needed, but is willing to make appropriate substitutions, could be potentially cool stuff.
Debriefing: A compact office with one desk and a chair, occupied by the debriefing officer, with the PCs standing amid towers of forms, printouts and manila folders, all bearing the names of one or more PCs.
