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 Computer has taken a personal dislike to the PCs.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: One kind of technological object (vial of acid) is behaving far too well.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A scrubot reprogrammed by Death Leopard. (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 strange new Food Vat slime is causing antisocial and dangerous activity in consumers of Hot Fun. The Computer needs PCs to destroy the slime. The threat is real.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in Free Enterprise meeting room (it's empty). Briefing officer wears kevlar armor (13) and fiddles with an exotic-looking needle gun (S3W impact); expects attack at any moment.
This Mission: INFRARED food vat slime scraper has a treasonous but powerful Teleportation (c/z), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over Junior Citizen fort (no Commies allowed!). Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: PLC: Warehouse run by insane high-clearance director; assigns PCs a mission (Determine the cause of the recent Infrared riots in ORANGE (Tension 7) crowded transtube station. We suspect someone (The Indigo leader of a rapidly-growing HPD & Mind Control firm, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his company.).) on his own behalf so he can give them over-inventoried communications object of unusual type (telepathy gun, telephone that attaches miles-long wire to body of recipient, holographic mime projector, tight-beam loudspeaker); Problem: picks up targets it's not supposed to, who don't like being picked up.
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.
