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: One kind of technological object (kevlar armor (13)) is behaving far too well.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: The 21st-degree leader of the secret society Program Group lackey for ULTRAVIOLET without a care in the Complex, who plans to expand his personal power and the might of his secret-society. (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: Essential life-support services will break down. The Computer sends the Troubleshooters to enforce order and restore services. The threat is real.

This Mission: Accompany Tech Services mechanics making repairs to a group of bots (Jackobot) at RED (Tension 4) crowded Technical Services cloning facility (well guarded). We think one tech is a Mystics member trying to derange the bots.
Outfitting: PLC: Supply clerks recently infected with SellFast.D spam virus, insist all PCs enroll in "Make Credits Fast!" marketing course.
Debriefing: Room contains nothing but miniature stools, where the PCs perch with difficulty and discomfort.
