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: One of the service groups is breaking down.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The bureaucracy has provoked an intractable crisis.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A senior Food Vat Control supervisor in INDIGO (Tension 16) IR marketeer living quarters, 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" has taken control of empty postal sorting room and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in underground lake. 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: Determine the cause of the recent Infrared riots in RED (Tension 6) acid-etched sinkhole under food production area. We suspect someone (A senior PLC official, whose division has fallen into strangling bureaucratic torpor and must now be massively overhauled or terminated.).
Outfitting: Infrared Market: An R&D-sponsored market. Every item "improved," although not in a way PCs or marketeers suspect. Costs only slightly above normal.
Debriefing: Debriefing room is well appointed with luxurious carpet, comfortable chairs and refreshments served throughout. Soothing musics plays throughout the session. Laser emplacements are visible in every corner and track the PCs' every move.
