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: Everyone in Alpha Complex behaves in an inexplicably contemptful or disgusted way toward one specific PC.

(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A High Programmer who has started a lottery or other credit-making scheme and has illicitly pulled needed supplies from some vital installation. (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: Surplus Armed Forces weaponry floods the IR market. Citizens (YELLOW Armed Forces master sergeant (sadistic hindrance, gullible (worryingly lacking in paranoia)); ORANGE Food Vat manager (indifferent bystander, psychotic, kill-crush-smash-destroy); ORANGE electronic equipment repair specialist (sadistic hindrance, paranoid with plasma generator (V1V energy) and ArmorAll (4))) happily demonstrate their new armaments in many locations (YELLOW (Tension 10) crowded dining area (IR: mess hall; R-Y: cafeteria; G-B: dining room; I-U: dining hall); ULTRAVIOLET (Tension 19) Proper Bedding Maintenance Hall of Fame; INDIGO (Tension 16) crowded food production area (IR-Y: Food Vats, G-U: hydroponic gardens)). 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 buzzing, high on Wakey-Wakey, who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself.

Mission Alert: Via Psychbot Sanity Restoration Unit (see rulebook, page 204) booby-trapped. Briefing time 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 Junior Citizen fort (no Commies allowed!). 1 briefing officers behind opaque bulletproof glass, voices electronically filtered.

This Mission: Accompany Tech Services mechanics making repairs to a group of bots (a small metallic can that bleeps constantly (the Computer claims it's extremely important)) at RED (Tension 4) crowded living quarters (IR: barracks; R-Y: dormitory; G-B: apartment; I-U: mansion). We think one tech is a PURGE member trying to derange the bots.

Outfitting: PLC: A PLC shop that has none of the equipment needed, but is willing to make strange or incorrect substitutions, could be potentially cool stuff.

Debriefing: Room contains nothing but miniature stools, where the PCs perch with difficulty and discomfort.
