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: A particular drug suddenly has inexplicably altered effects.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A Death Leopard gang. (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: Endless wave of assassination attempts will befall drugged (thymoglandin, hydropsionic acid), who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Mission is randomly assigned as a prize in a CruncheeTym algae chips packet. Briefing time is wrong. The information is replaced by treasonous Romantics propaganda.
Briefing: Briefing is in active missile silo . Briefing officer wears electromagnetic clothing (Experimental R&D equipment, makes wearer a living magnet; can stick to metal walls, watch out for knives!) and fiddles with an exotic-looking laser pistol (W3K energy) with user's clearance barrel; expects attack at any moment.
This Mission: An abandoned RED (Tension 5) crowded corridor has been infested by Commies. Demolish it, preferably with the Commies inside.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: +25% over list. Delivery: please allow 24 hours for delivery to PCs' specified address. Drop point is an ambush by Anti-Mutant thugs; there is no equipment; the PCs regain the money they bid.
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.
Find weird phrasing, clearly erroneous output, or other signs of filthy commie mutant traitor sabotage? Copy the offending passages and email them to the High Programmer for investigation.
