Paranoia

[Blueman]

(Before you read, take note, I did base this off an actual game)

This is a daunting read. You will be happy once you read. The Computer wants you to read it, for he knows that a happy citizen is a good citizen. [ERROR]

The story...that your clearance permits you to know, that is:

The year...no one really knows, but it is some time after a great nuclear devestation. To you, an InfraRed citizen of the Alpha Complex, a vast unending underground facility, life in the huge complex is the only thing you've ever known. The Computer, the dominant being of Alpha Complex, has recently rewarded you with the honor of becoming a clearance RED citizen. Happy day. You got the promotion by probably discovering and eliminating a COMMIE MUTANT TRAITOR, and then reporting it to The Computer. Then he gave you 1000 credits, and an apple. A real apple. GOOD JOB CITIZEN!

HAPPINESS IS MANDATORY [ERROR] YOU WILL DIE, HAVE A NICE CYCLE

THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND

The Computer is happy. The Computer is crazy.
The Computer will help you become happy. This will drive you crazy.

Being a citizen of Alpha Complex is fun. The Computer says so,
and The Computer is your friend.

Many traitors threaten Alpha Complex.
Many happy citizens live in Alpha Complex. Most happy citizens are crazy.
Which are more dangerous-traitors or happy citizens?

Rooting out traitors will make you happy. The Computer tells you so.
If you are not happy, The Computer will use you as reactor shielding.

Being a Troubleshooter is fun. The Computer tells you so.
Do you doubt The Computer citizen?

Troubleshooters get shot at, stabbed, mangled, incinerated,
poisoned, stapled, blown to bits and accidentally executed.
This is so much fun many Troubleshooters go crazy.
You work with many Troubleshooters. They all carry lasers.
Aren't you glad you have a laser too? Won't this be fun?

STAY ALERT! TRUST NO ONE! KEEP YOUR LASER HANDY!!!

You are a Troubleshooter. You are now a guardian of The Computer.
By not helping The Computer stay safe, you could be punished for TREASON.
COMMIE MUTANT TRAITORS get punished for TREASON.
Are you a COMMIE MUTANT TRAITOR?

If you wish to help The Computer, Alpha Complex and all of its happy citizens, you will follow these instructions.

[ERROR] Thank you for reading these wonderful step by step instructions on how to be safe, and protect The Computer, while staying out of serious danger yourself. Don't you feel happy?

(ooc: The Computer is not watching you now, so I can help you on your way to becoming the best Troubleshooter yet.)

Before you create a character, I'm gonna run you over somethings that will be important to know.

In Alpha Complex, you don't know the name of any nature-like thing, such as animals, vegetation...the sky. If you were ever to actually see the sky, you would first probably cry, then believe that life was about to end, then probably go insane and blow your brains out. If you were ever to see a squirrel eating a nut, you would believe it to be some sort of evil mutant holding a bomb. This is important to know.

Security clearances: Clones start at InfraRed, and then go by ROY G BIV. Violet Cleared clones are the most respected, and non-seen beings in Alpha Complex...other than the mighty Computer, which is everywhere.
With out the proper clearance tags or rank, stepping into, knowing, or doing something that is a higher clearance than you is TREASON citizen.

Issued Equipment: During your missions as a Troubleshooter, The Computer will give you various equipment that he deems necessary for the mission. If this equipment is lost, stolen or damaged...there are consequences. The Computer wishes you not to put the equipment in a threatining situation either...[ERROR]

Clones: Everyone gets 6...don't screw up.

Now...onto character creation.

First off, lets go over a name. There are 4 steps.

1-Your given name, such as Ken
2-Your home sector...any 3 letter combination, such as LXT
3-Your Clearance intial, such as R for RED (everyone starts at RED by the way)
4-Your clone number...such as 5.

Now you have a name like Ken-LXT-R-5

Now on to the rest of your feats...all Clones have a Mutant power. Just make up one within reason...and remember, actually letting anyone else know you have a mutant power, gives them the power to annihalate you...which will waste your clone. And once you come back, your clone has all of your previous memories...including death. And he also has all previous affiliations and the power.

Next is a secret society...all Clones have one.

I will let you create your own secret society...but it must have a clear goal, and you cannot be anywhere close to being the leader. Letting anyone else know you are affiliated with a secret society is evidence...THAT YOU'RE A TRAITOR.

Finally, your team job, or MANDATORY BONUS DUTY!!! I will issue you your MBD, after you create a character.

Team Leader-Offers guidance and advice, and is a worthy commander in combat.

Loyalty Officer-Discourages treasonous thoughts, and looks for the slightest hint of traitorism in a Clone.

Hygiene Officer-Monitors personal Hygiene level of other team members; prevents poor morale, substandard performance and halitosis. CPU performance tracking statistics show that [CLASSIFIED] percent of all missions fail due to poor hygiene.

Communications and Recording Officer-Chronicles the mission using advanced video technology, extremely sensitive microphones and gripping color commentary.

Happiness Officer-Ensures everyone has fun on the mission; knows jokes, sings, leads citizen -instructional games; authorizes and administers biochemical supplements needed to garuntee a fun time is had by all.

Equipment Guy-Controls bots and vehicles assigned to the team; monitors each Troubleshooters equipment maintenance level. Is responsable for any or all lost, stolen or damaged items.

[Lucid]

ooc: so when are we going to get this party on the road?

[Blueman]

ooc: Right now >;)

The com channel in everyones bunk blasted on. "Troubleshooters! It's time for a mission, are ya' excited? I hope so, because it begins NOW!! Get dressed and report to the briefing station...if your late, you will suffer the consequences. Be sure and meet the guard outside of your rooms for you blue security pass. There will be warbots guarding the hall to the briefing room, so if you lose your pass, they will commence hostilities. Meet you in 5!!!

[Crowley]

Crowley-ASD-R-1 rose from his bed, dashed to the sink and scrubbed himself ferociously. Couldn't be late, couldn't be dirty, everyone knew that poor hygiene caused... well, some percentage of missions to fail. Crowley-ASD-R-1 didn't know about numbers, in fact all he had really known until recently was how to Insert Droid Component A Into Droid Component B. Looking out for bits of dirt seemed easy enough, so he thought it would be treasonous not to do it well.

Crowley-ASD-R-1 hastily put on his spotless uniform, washed his hands again and walked out the door. A guard was waiting outside the room; Crowley-ASD-R-1 took the blue security pass and walked quickly along the corridor, absent-mindedly buffing the pass on a small clean cloth as he agonised over his decision not to point out that the guard had dried blood on his body armour, and recommend a good cleaning agent. He approached the door to the briefing station, holding out the pass and hoping he wasn't the last to arrive.

[gygsuelo86]

Once Ree-CNC-TR-1 heard the message, she was up and dressed. She quietly opened her door and was met by an emotionless guard, who, by the looks of things seemed to be strangely unattached. Ree-CNC-TR-1 eyed him closely, trying to see if anything would give him away as a traitor. Nope, nothing. She took the pass he offered her and made her way down the hall, examining the pass the entire time. Still nothing out of the ordinary.

A few moments later she found herself at the door to the breifing room. She opened the door, and while she wasn't the first one there, she knew she certainly wasn't the last. Ree-CNC-TR-1 stared at the other person in the room, silently evaluating their loyalty. He too seemed loyal. So far so good.

[Oblenator]

Alith-FOX-R-1 jumped out of bed, Drat! he had overslept again! he quickly made his bed then ran over and had a quick shower, after that he dressed in his "civil" clothes which are a grey short sleeved t-shirt and grey long pants with black boots, after making sure there was no dirt anywhere on his person he ran out, and into the guard that was standing outside his quarters. "sorry" Alith-FOX-R-1 muttered, the guard gave him the blue security pass he needed and he ran on his way to the confrance room, it was clear he wasn't last at least, he went over and stood in the cleanist area he could find, the corner, and looked at the other two that were in the room with him, one a female stood clearly evaluating the other one, so Alith-FOX-R-1 turned to him and, from the look, he was either another hygine officer or someone who got picked on by a hygine officer freaquantly, Alith-FOX-R-1 decided to just lean back and clear his thoughts.

[knock]

Kayne-FOZ-TR-6 woke as soon as he heard the com.He kissed his framed picture of the computer and ran out the door he hastened to grab his blue pass key and pulled a small robot out of his pocket.He walked into a room that had 3 other troubleshooters in it he smiled at them and wiped some grease off of his pants when he say the hygiene officer.he put his robot on the circular desk in the middle of the room and started to tinker with it adding bolts screws and the occasional lube until he dropped one of his bolts and it rolled toward the girl in the room.

[gygsuelo86]

The bolt rolled across the floor and hit Ree-CNC-TR-1's shoe. She stooped down and picked it up, examining every intricate detail, eventually deciding that the bolt held no danger.

The robot, on the other hand, she wasn't too sure about. She would watch and see if it did anything, or if the owner of the little device did anything strange. She was watching.
