The Doctor Bot Manifesto
GM ONLY!
ILLEGAL. 5cr. A bunch of Mystics, heavily infiltrated by Communists, brew Doctor Bot in secret vats somewhere deep below Alpha Complex. The drink has wake-up effects like asperquaint, genuinely tastes like some kind of unidentifiable fruit and has an addictive aspect that causes excessive saliva production and makes refusal of another can impossible without a successful Power check. It also has a detoxification response that can cause unexpected trips to the rest room and excessive flatulence, but flushes The Computers favored dietary supplements out of the imbibers system in just 48 hours. Given the questionable and treacherous behavior arising from drug-free citizens, Doctor Bot is virtually Communism on tap as far as the secret distributors are concerned. Communist plants throughout the infrastructure of Alpha Complex are intent on making Doctor Bot available at all costs, whatever it takes. Before its effects became clear, this beverage had INFRARED clearance. If you would find it more amusing, maybe it still is. Regardless, any number of citizens may have secret stashes of the stuff hidden away from the days of plenty. STRAIGHT, CLASSIC.
BRAND X: A MISSION NUGGET
With the legality of Doctor Bot in question, the Communist cell responsible for production and distribution seek a facade of respectability in distributing their product. To this end, they set themselves up as a new service firm Trial-and-Error (see Comestible Speculation Insinuators, below), offering speculative dispersal of new products and on-the-spot feedback from amongst the citizenship. Trial-and-Error offer taste test challenges to passing citizens on public plazas, asking whether they prefer Bouncy Bubble Beverage or the new Brand X – a re-packaged Doctor Bot.
The Troubleshooters may find themselves roped in to help with the research, by distributing Brand X to everyone and taking research notes on their reactions. The characters discover they have returning participants who grow ever more persistent in wanting more and more of Brand X – while making lewd suggestions at members of the opposite gender. The team comes under scrutiny from IntSec wanting to know why people taking part in the test are missing scheduled work periods – ideally resulting in some speculation that someone within the team might have spiked the beverages. Meantime, they find themselves dealing with citizens far too aware of themselves and their surroundings, demanding more Brand X and engaging in acts of subversive behavior – nipping butts, engaging in group hugs and vandalizing vending machines in search of their elusive beverage of choice. Enlightened Humanists and Mystics might find this refreshing, but generally the behavior will seem repulsive to the average citizen.
With anarchy spreading, the Communists up the ante and requisition of the assistance of the Troubleshooters (and other bewildered citizens) to gain access to the local pumping station – under the pretence of an official action (with a fistful of forged paperwork). They plan to add concentrated Doctor Bot syrup to the local water supply, distributing dilute Communism to the masses. Do the Troubleshooters help (and stick to their mission orders) or attempt to put an end to the treacherous plans, opposed by Doctor Bots latest addicted converts to Communism? Certain secret societies might consider this an opportunity to hijack the idea and plant some other dubious additive into the water supply.
COMESTIBLE SPECULATION INSINUATORS
Service Group: PLC
Example: Snackers; Speculative Victuals; First Food
Revenue stream: Payment for research into new nutritional products and experimental brands.
Secret society taint: Free Enterprise (common), Illuminati, Communists (sharing is good!).
With an ever watchful eye on consumerism and the importance of finding new and interesting ways of feedback the public their nutritional supplements, CSI service firms take experimental foodstuffs to the masses and test them. While a lot of the food looks vaguely palatable, some of it looks like disgusting gunk, requiring a certain degree of salesmanship, fast-talking and brute force to get anyone to try anything and live through the experience to provide any kind of helpful feedback. Driven to optimize their profits margins, some CSI seek increasingly dubious means of tricking and forcing citizens into trying new products and offering positive responses.
