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: An front-row tickets to Championship FunBall game the PCs cherish will be destroyed.(Irrational) General kind of weirdness or irregularity that prompts The Computer to assign a mission to the Troubleshooters: One kind of technological object (Copter) is behaving far too well.
(Someone) Person, people, organization or agency responsible for the situation: A powerful mutant who wishes to see his own kind of mutants dominate, and normal humans and all other kinds of mutants subservient. (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" has taken control of crowded HPD & Mind Control storage facility or warehouse and is slaughtering enemies. The PCs are either trapped there or sent to deal with the problem. 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 wild eyed, incoherent, even frenzied, who uses the Troubleshooters as decoys while he protects himself.
Mission Alert: Via telepathic communication from unidentifiable source. The Computer knows nothing of this method, and will regard it with extreme suspicion. Message is intact and correct.
Briefing: Briefing is in derelict rooms in the Underplex . 4 briefing officers behind opaque bulletproof glass, voices electronically filtered.
This Mission: Investigate an unexplained disaster in crowded Junior Citizen creche.
Outfitting: C-Bay or other online auction site: Price: 10% off. Delivery: will get around to it someday for sure. A PC's auction site account has been hijacked by a Computer Phreak using it to auction treasonous warbot plans.
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.
