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 have enough resources but too little time to win.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: One kind of technological object (Autocar) is behaving far too well.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: One or more PCs' immediate superior, who has screwed up badly and now wants to pin the blame on the PC and his fellow 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: Roll three times on this chart. Everything you roll is happening at once, and the PCs are caught in the chaos. Good luck running this one. 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: The "Someone" believes (accurately?) the PCs are assassins sent to kill him; he tries to kill them first. Meanwhile, the PCs must complete their mission.
Mission Alert: Text message on PDC. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in empty FunBall arena (or other large room). 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: The sewage system in RED (Tension 5) Museum of Famous Forms has become plugged. Unplug it.
Outfitting: Infrared Market: Marketeer gives PCs a fair discount if they also take a "bonus" small super-lubricant (seeps through any container); marketeer wants the PCs to [[Bad entry ]].
Debriefing: A compact office with one desk and a chair, occupied by the debriefing officer, with the PCs standing amid towers of forms, printouts and manila folders, all bearing the names of one or more PCs.
