Oh, music? I was talking about genre adventures!
GM NOTE- Do not pass up any opportunity for a bad joke, or a good player death.
It’s another beautiful day in Alpha Complex starting with the joyful buzz of fluorescent lights. You reflect on the bounty of the Computer- your two ration pellets, your humongous 2m2 cell, and the soft dulcet tones of the Computer.
“Good morning Citizen. Time to serve the Computer.”
The Mission
The Troubleshooters have an important mission to escort a high-ranking Admiral to an undisclosed location on the surface for the weekend. Details will be provided by Admiral BERN-I. A team of Vulture Squadron goons escort the Troubleshooters to BERN-I and depart.
The Background
The Secret Societies know about BERN-I, and all believe that BERN-I possesses the missing puzzle piece that will unlock the Forbidden Archives; they believe that the Archives will improve Alpha Complex, will destroy the Computer, or both. Every Troubleshooter is given an instruction by their Society to protect, kill, or kidnap the Admiral.
One Troubleshooter will be assigned the Operation Chaos Mission (see below).
The Admiral
In an empty white room, the Troubleshooters find, dressed in a jaunty sailor’s cap, wearing a sailing jacket festooned with little flamingos, holding a festive drink in one hand, and wearing sunglasses … a mannequin. Admiral BERN-I is a dressed-up mannequin.
Complications-
Cannot tell Computer - Computer is infallible.
Cannot tell Societies - will assume Troubleshooters were turned.
Room is code Ultraviolet.
Computer demands status updates on BERN-I.
Wandering the Alpha Complex
Take as much time (and clones) as needed for the Troubleshooters to wander Alpha Complex with BERN-I searching for a way to the outside world. So long as the Troubleshooters treat BERN-I as a living, high-ranking Admiral, so will others.
Any questions about the outside will be viewed as Treason, resulting in execution.
The Rail
The Troubleshooters will be approached by a bot named DEUS EX, who states:
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
DEUS EX tells the Troubleshooters that the Archives contain the launch codes for a powerful weapon, the YAT ROK missile, and that firing this missile fulfills the end-times Pink Moon prophecy of Nyk Drake-U.
Troubleshooters are given map to Archives and location of missing piece in BERN-I’s finger.
Ambush!
Darryl-O Hall and John-O Oates along with 5 Rock-Rs mount a surprise attack on behalf of Society Death Leopard. They target DEUS EX first, then the Troubleshooters, to kidnap BERN-I.
Archives
Operation Chaos- the Troubleshooter with this mission was told that the Archives contain the power of “smooth, smooth grooves,” and that the release of these “grooves” into the Alpha Complex will cause chaos and destruction and the end of the Computer. The Troubleshooter will not know how to release the “grooves,” or what “grooves” are, but will be looking for any opportunity to do so.
BERN-I does have the missing piece of the key embedded in its finger, a Pink Moon.
The door key is a puzzle; there is a blue diamond, a purple horseshoe, an orange star, and a green four-leaf clover, with two spots remaining (for a moon and a heart). The Troubleshooters must duplicate the Pink Moon and jam it into both the Moon and Heart slot. Putting anything else in, or just putting in a single Pink Moon, will result in a massive electric charge and death to the Troubleshooter.
The inner chamber is filled with screens and one shiny, red button.
-If the Troubleshooters do not press the red button, they will have to determine how to report back to the Computer. Even knowing about the Archives is evidence of treason!
-If the Troubleshooters press the red button, then the Archives spring to life; all the monitors come on, and the Troubleshooters will hear the same thing that is now being broadcast throughout Alpha Complex:
“Right now, brand new bakery-fresh music from Toto, and forgive my Français but effin’ sh**, I wish I knew the girl this song was written about.”
(Start playing Toto’s Rosanna, and if the Troubleshooters are still in the archives when Toto belts out, “I can see you face still shining through the window on the other side” then a large Vulture Goon squadron will burst into the room and terminate the Troubleshooters.)
Conclusion
If the Troubleshooters activate the Archive, then after the initial song, “Sailing” will be stuck on loop 24/7 for the next year.
Success!
