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' service firms or secret societies are endangered.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: The Computer has decreed a new holiday with odd customs and practices, and everyone knows about it but the PCs.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: Everyone in INDIGO (Tension 15) Museum of Famous Forms is in on it; they want to discredit, destroy, maim and spit on the Troubleshooters. (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" in a ULTRAVIOLET mausoleum is flooding the networks with viruses. 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 missing, replaced by [INSERT DATA HERE] or similar. Secret society contacts or servile truckling to The Computer may fill in missing data.
Briefing: Briefing is in abandoned chimney (or other large room). 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: Ultraviolet in disguise (ULTRAVIOLET who is the current supervisor of this sector) (Why? Who knows why?) has a treasonous but powerful Matter Eater (c/s/z), with which he has inspired revolt, and taken over abandoned decaying and pestilential wreck of an abandoned sector: computer interface (IR: public terminals area. Remove the mutant and resolve the unrest.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: +25% over list. Delivery: please allow 24 hours for delivery to PCs' specified address. Nothing at all unusual about this transaction. Or is there? Sounds a little suspicious, doesn't it? Absolutely nothing wrong? Really? Hmm....
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.
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.
