MARCH OF THE
INFRAREDS
The Mission is Afoot!
Welcome to your Holiday, Loyal Troubleshooters! You find yourself in
an Approved Holiday Destination. You know you are in an Approved
Holiday Destination because the large banners draped across the red-
painted walls are labelled ‘Approved Holiday Destination’.
You are lounging in sort of large, sort of comfortable seats that sort of
lean back, sort of comfortably. There are many such seats in a large
room. You are at the centre and no other citizens are here but you.
You presume you are here as a reward for successfully completing your
last mission, because you are in an Approved Holiday Destination and
not an Approved Correctional Destination. You don’t remember every
detail of your previous mission but this may be for Your Own Protection.
The beneficent eyes of the Friend Computer are upon you. You know
this because the beneficent eyes of Friend Computer are ALWAYS upon
you. Aren’t they, citizens?
Wait expectantly for spontaneous outpouring of agreement and
appreciation from your players. Prompt them more directly if the
spontaneous outpouring is less spontaneous than one would expect
from loyal Troubleshooters enjoying the Computer’s largesse.

You are all enjoying some well-deserved holiday time in YYZ sector’s
Red Clearance Lounge. Wide lanes of black flooring permit access for
Infrared citizens to serve you but there are none in sight. Before you are
generous quantities of lukewarm Bouncy Bubble Beverage and cold
bowls of Hot Fun. The luxurious pleather seats have only a few sprung
springs. Things are pretty nifty.
But, loyal Troubleshooters that you are, I bet you remain extra-vigilant
even in this scene of relaxation and quiet enjoyment. Don’t you?
Again, await spontaneous outpourings of sincere vigilance. If necessary,
prompt each player to describe exactly how their Troubleshooter is
being particularly vigilant in that particular moment, beneath the
benevolent eyes of The Computer.
Some players will emphasise how happy and grateful they are for their
time in the Approved Holiday Destination. Most will indicate they are
focusing most of their vigilance on traitors within and without their
Troubleshooter Team. Some suitably PARANOID players have a more
comprehensive awareness of the dangers posed in everyday life in
Alpha Complex. THESE players will be rewarded with situational modifiers
when testing to avoid the effects of the impending disaster.
Suddenly, an ear-splitting boom interrupts your repose. Your ears ring. The
ground shakes. Lights in the ceiling explode and tiles fall to the ground.
Smoke wafts in from under the door and through newly formed cracks in
the wall. After a second, the ground begins to tremble once again.
Go around the table once asking each player what their Troubleshooter
is doing. Have each make an Athletics test to avoid cracks in the floor
and falling ceilings. Give bonuses for clever responses and to any
player who specified appropriate awareness during the previous round
of questions. Give generous penalties to Troubleshooters who were
unfortunately zealous in their lounging, or who freeze in this moment of
questioning, or to any player who is likely to be a good sport with the
upcoming bang-you’re-dead gag.
The Troubleshooter whose player rolled the worst result is crushed
beneath a massive pile of rock as half the ceiling caves in just after the
tremors stop.
