Dog Duty 

Jerry Weis, a new PARANOIA Gamemaster, has written a fine Classic mission called "Dog Duty" and kindly made it available for free download on the Paranoia-Live.net fan site. (It's in .PDF format, so you'll need the free Adobe Reader program to read it.)

"Dog Duty" assigns the Troubleshooters to deliver a new mutant detection device, "Project Kiko," to Internal Security. "Kiko" is, in fact, a dog -- not a robot dog, a dog, and one with a poorly developed sense of self preservation. In the likely event Kiko bites the soylent during the mission, the Troubleshooters have to find or invent some likely substitute Kiko to complete their task. (Here fans of classic science fiction may recall Eric Frank Russell's 1955 Hugo-winning novelette "Allamagoosa.") It all leads to a grand finale of inspired deviltry.

Commendations to citizen Jerry for his yeoman service to The Computer and to the PARANOIA community!

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
