Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

The transbot wends its way back out of SPD Sector and eventually deposits you at a platform bearing the sign:  "Welcome to DMM Sector Troubleshooter Central."  Another new Troubleshooter team is waiting at the platform, expecting to board once you have gotten out.  They look so shiny and optimistic!

Just beyond the platform area is a RED Clearance reception desk clerk, engrossed in something on his workstation.  When the transbot doors slide open and you step out, he glances up for just a moment, then back down...then back up, his eyes suddenly wide.  "But how...where did--How did you find me?" he shouts, leaping up and trying to make a run for it.

Just as this is happening, Rob's clone comes from where the new troubleshooters just came from and joins you again.

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

Gunther has no Idea who that guy is but since he is running, he is guilty of something, so he yells to the top of his lungs: "TRAITOR!!!" And draws his laser, firing at the runaway guy, He will use his advanced military training to aim for the legs however, so that the traitor may be questioned later.

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

Gunther hits the fleeing person in the leg.  "Ouch!" he screams as he begins hopping.  Then he is unceremoniously tackled by Dexter, and he sprawls out on the ground.

"I won't talk!" he says.  "You can't make me."  He looks really upset.

The man laughs.  "Ha, you're a traitor!  That's not an authorized weapon.  You'll be thrown to the incinerator for that."  (Bad roll for Gunther.)  "Besides, you can't prove anything.  I don't even know how you found me or got away from the scrubots."

Ginger's clone also joins the gang again!

"That was easy for cunning Troubleshooters like ourselves, we tracked down your itinerary by recalculating the vortexes in the Spam timeouts and indexed them to a shop list of variable stores and free pay per view offers and retransmitted that back to our PDCs therefore getting back to your PDC with your location which by adding the gamma filament to the itinerary described let to... here!

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

The man watches you both, not sure what's going on but obviously knowing it's not going well for him.  "Okay, so I created the virus and conspired to murder the spammers.  Yes, I'm Don-R-PNY-4, aka Ally G8R, the Computer Phreak author of the 'Mister Bubbles' virus.  It was my masterpiece.  But if you let me go, I'll turn Comlex evidence over and you can know all about my fellow Phreaks.  And I'll give you that 100 credits I owe you for Marco's death.  Pure genius to have him fall prey to the crazed scrubots."


Not too far away, luckily and coincidentally, are signs pointing to the Infirmary, the Mess Hall...and DEBRIEFING!  And just in time.  You've caught Ally-G8R, the writer of the virus that sent the scrubots crazy, and now you've got only 5 MINUTES left in your mission.

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

You walk down the debriefing hall, which is a row of eight doors.  All but the last one are closed with an "In Session" sign illuminated above them.  As you walk past the doors, you hear muffled sounds behind each one:  someone screaming through the distinct buzz of a large electrical arc, shouting voices erupting into a flurry of laser fire, evil maniacal laughter.  Finally, you reach the last door.

You push your prisoner, AllyG8R, into the room in handcuffs.  He seems very frightened but remains silent.

Inside the room is a single desk.  A haughty-looking BLUE citizen is sitting behind it, casually reading over some notes on his PDC.  Without a word, he gestures you toward the six empty chairs, arranged in two rows of three each.  You take a seat, and the BLUE citizen closes his PDC, sets it on the table, calmly knits his hands together, and asks, without prefacing his statement:

"So, where did the missing fissionables turn out to be?"

Dexter's expression changes from confusion to surprise and he glances at the Team Leader.  "I'm sorry, Team Leader, I'm just the Equipment Guy.  I do not know anything about fissio-whatsits."  Dexter turns to talk to the BLUE citizen.  "From an Equipment perspective, there were a couple things of note.  First, was a dropped PDC from Gunther, our Loyalty Officer.  The PDC has been returned and Gunther has been warned to take better care in the future.  I inspected the PDC thoroughly to ensure against any commie tampering.  Second, many scrubots were encountered during our mission that had been malignantly programmed by someone who labeled themselves "Ally G8R".  The scrubbots were altered such that they would kill anyone on their email spam list.  Thanks to the loyal efforts of Gunther and myself, sitting here in detainment is Don-R-PNY-4, aka Ally G8R, self-admitted Computer Phreak author of the 'Mister Bubbles' virus.  That is all I have to report."

No one seems to answer the BLUE citizen's question.  He looks nervously to the camera and then back down to you.

Gunther is running the geiger counter over everyone, and it starts beeping hard when he runs it over Ginger.  Then he realizes that he is pointing it backwards--at himself!--since Ginger's clone obviously wasn't even present when the reactor exploded.

The BLUE citizen is tapping his fingers impatiently.  "Well," he says, his voice rising in frustration, "which team member received the greatest amount of exposure to krypton diflouride?"

"Well," AllyG8R says, "looks like all of you went on the wrong mission.  They weren't trying to capture me after all."  He begins laughing.  "Time to let me go," he says.

Since AllyG8R appears to be right and your mission debriefing was not the right debriefing after all, your only other alternative would be to take him to IntSec and turn him over.

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

IntSec takes you along to describe what happens.  They listen to your story, look at your recorders, and one of them in charge says:

"It looks like you helped the Computer, even though you utterly failed at your mission.  For capturing the Phreak, we are giving your team 100 credits each.  If you had saved Marco, we would have given you another 150, but now we have to scrape up his remains.  You have also each been given 150 credits for helping secure a deal with the arms negotiators Nancy-B and Bill-G.  The reality TV show people were all killed in the reactor explosion, so they said they're not paying for anything.  So off with you until the Computer needs your services again."


Okay, this is the official end of the mission.  It was a little difficult, given that we had some player changes, to see the entire scope of what happened.  There were tiny clues throughout that your real mission was something entirely different...those darned fissionables...but of course, that was a set up too, since there was no such mission actually written.  You were set up to fail...well, that's the Computer for you.

From here, you will need to decide whether you want to keep your same character for the next mission or make a new one.  Regardless, any bonuses/credits you have now can simply carry over.  I will also have some pregenerated characters too, if you prefer.  The next mission will also be one of the official adventures, not a home brewed one, although I have a home brewed one in mind too.

If you have any ideas/suggestions, let me know.  You may also have private credits/missions you accomplished.  Ask me about them for additional bonuses.

Regarding treason, remember that there is no time period, so you can always save up all your reasons and evidence until the end of the mission...as appears to be happening now...or accuse at any time you think you have enough evidence.

I would suggest using your private thread to post yourself reminders of evidence you have, and then when you are ready to accuse, you can paste all the reasons into one post to boost your chances of success.

And remember, here's the link regarding treason:  link to a message in "Paranoia: They Really Are All Out to Get You"

Ginger retracts her accusation of treason as a misunderstanding...unless Dexter chooses to side with Gunther...and she looks over at Dexter with a huge smile on her face.

She says to CL, still smiling, "Have you considered that Gunther's actions of recording everyone's moves, eating Computer property, and accusing your own team leader of treason will not make anyone happy?  Perhaps you should be accusing him of treason.  I am happy, but how can a register mutee like Gunther make us happy when treason is in his mutant bones?"

IntSec arrives to sort out the problem.  They clear CL and Dexter of having to join the Team Leader now that they have arrived.  However, CL and Dexter, and all other characters, are given an insubordination fine for failing to follow their team leader without question.  This is a 30 credit fine each.

Due to the stress of the situation, I will be rolling for random accusation modifiers.  Make sure all final issues, accusations, etc. are out on the table.

Re: Scene 8 -There's No Briefing Like Debriefing

This is how it is working out:
ACCUSATION

The IntSec officer listens carefully.  He nods thoughtfully at Gunther's points.

CREDIBLE ACCUSATION
OOC:  Here is to show you how this is working out.  (Gunther used PP and also had a wide margin of success on his management roll - margin of 6 after Ginger's PP are factored in.)

Also:

Modifiers:

Accuser:  Gunther has meticulously completed relevant forms and input, thereby pleasing the computer.  +1 bonus.

Computer:  Today's proceedings are being recorded for an episode of "Traitor Justice Files."  The Computer intends to make an example of the target. +10 bonus

Target: Ginger was able to draw a clever retort about Gunther. -1

Environment:  Cameras captured everything on videotape...without audio...and cannot verify Gunther's accusations. -3

Other: Gunther is a registered mutant.  -5

So Gunther's margin of 6 turns into:  a margin of 8!


The IntSec officer turns to Ginger.  "It appears that you are in need of correction."  (Gunther's accusation was deemed credible.)

Meanwhile, Ginger's roll failed.  Her accusation was found not to be credible enough to warrant in investigation.

SPRAY EFFECT
The IntSec officer looks around.  "You were all present.  Why did you not try to stop these traitorous acts?  We are going to immediately investigate all of you!"

The dragnet begins...

No one put any PP's to support or make Gunther's accusation fail.  This means that his margin of error has a "spray" effect on all the troubleshooters.  (In other words, the Computer assumes the "traitor" includes everyone around the actual "traitor;" everyone except the accuser is compromised.)  Given that Gunther's accusations include a variety of locations with a variety of Tension levels, you will not get an added benefit of Tension level protection.  (This is one benefit to making immediate accusations if the Tension level favors you...because your teammates will be affected less.)

Each of you must now "defend" against Gunther's accusation.  Tell me if you are going to add any perversity points to your management roll (up to a max of 5) and then you can roll or I will roll for you.

NOTE:  For informational purposes, if Gunther's roll had been with a 0 margin, you would not be part of the dragnet.

1- Shoot a fellow troubleshooter instead of shooting the imminent threat three times. Two times generating new copies of the loyalty officer.
I have no way of stopping her from shooting, especially when I am being attacked by a scrubbot.

2- Shooting the loyalty officer in an obvious attempt to leave the computer blind to all communist activities the referred team leader would draw the team into.
Same response as item 1.

3- Attempted -twice- to read the loyalty's officer's notepad.
I was busy with an equipment inspection when Ginger attempted this.  I have never tried to read the loyalty officer's pad.

4- Offered a declared secret Society member a chance to escape, once by offering a him deal in exchange of credits and second time by conning the team into running out of the room to give the Phreak known as ALLY-G8R time to escape, if It weren't for my intervention the Phreak would be free and probably plotting with her to overthrow the system.
I was instrumental in capturing and interrogating Ally-G8R and made sure he would not escape to spread his commie ways.

5- As team leader Ginger-R-UYT led the mission to a failure.
I made repeated effort to keep the team leader on track for the mission, but the team leader allowed the team to be sidetracked.

6- As team leader proposed communist things like giving others chances of voting.
I repeatedly tried to get the team leader to do her job of leading the team and always did my part as Equipment Guy.

7- Falsely accused Gunther-R-BOK-*3* of eating computer propriety a thing that Gunther-R-BOK-*1* did, Clone which by the way she executed without proper authorization. See Note #1
I have not accused Gunther of anything other than dropping his PDC, which seemed to be an accident.  As a loyal Equipment Guy, I was paying close attention to the team's equipment.

8- Falsely accused Gunther-R-BOK-3 of being a Frankenstein Destroyer with no evidence. By the way what is a Frankenstein Destroyer?
What's a Frankenstew Mostreyor?

Gunther just watches the scene unfold and smiles, noticing the scene is going to be on a vidshow he steps near a camcorder and goes:

He pauses dramatically drawing his gun in a slick-looking fashion and saying: "GUNTHER-R-BOK-3!" then holstering it back in a slick way, and then he pulls out his ILTR1 notepad: "Loyalty officers, the pen is mightier than the laser, don't be afraid to you your assigned ILTR1s to catch the commies in your team!!!"

After the scene to the camera, he stands there, arms crossed and a few yards away just around a corner from the scene just so no accidental laser fire may hit him,  Gunther turns to his PDC to see if it is still being flooded by spam and starts deleting the spam now that the spammer is caught, keeping an eye out for angry laser fire of course, staying around a corner, again, for protective reasons but still within sight of the Int Sec guy, and with his laser ready to shoot should the traitorous leader attempt to escape.

Even with bonuses, everyone fails their rolls.

Gunther leaves the area, and the rest of you are hauled off for reconditioning.  None of you are taken to the same place as any other, so you don't know the extent of correction.
