TRUST THE COMPUTER! THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND!
Greetings, citizen! THE COMPUTER has made you a TROUBLESHOOTER, a
protector of the underground city of ALPHA COMPLEX. You and your fellow
Troubleshooters will have lots of fun rooting out Communist mutant
traitors. The Computer says so.
Members of treasonous secret societies like the Frankenstein
Destroyers,
the Illuminati, Psion, PURGE and the Sierra Club may attack, maim or
blackmail you. Treasonous mutants with powers like Electroshock,
Pyrokinesis, Charm, Puppeteer and Bureaucratic Intuition may shock you,
incinerate you, subvert you, control you or bury you in paperwork. But
it will be fun. The Computer says so, and The Computer is your
friend.
Most fun of all is uncovering your fellow Troubleshooters' secret
societies and mutations, accusing them of treason and persuading The
Computer to terminate them -- before they do the same to you.
