First Session Report - Paranoia XP Mister Bubbles (SPOILER ALERT)** I'm posting more in this group than I would in others because it's kind of a quiet niche group and I figure the content is good for it, or at least not harmful.**
Had our first session of Mister Bubbles this week. We're normally a DnD group that meets weekly. We finished a major campaign so we're using this as a palate cleanser.
I spent the last two weeks cramming the rules to Paranoia XP and learning the adventure - including asking you a lot a bunch of questions. I really appreciate the responsiveness, especially from

. Used some sound effect packs I got in this subreddit too.
Only five players so I didn't use Dexter (the Druggy equipment guy). Spread some of his equipment around though. Conferences with everybody. At the initial transbot stop it was easy to get them on the train. Then I turned off the lights. For no reason whatsoever the player playing Gunther the loyalty officer, threw a grenade in the transbot darkness.
Everybody died. Got off the transbot at the "briefing room".
The adventure grenade went off. Everybody died again. Everybody now thinks this game is a Death By Grenade simulator. Very proud of the "voice" I chose to use for the computer. My computer sounds like an indulgent dad talking to his toddler. He doesn't call them citizens. He says "Hey buddy, how's my little guy?" "Hey, Sparkplug, what can I do you for? Before executing them for treason. Gunther player called the computer for help at one point. Realized things were about to go very badly. Literally hung up on the computer. Half of the players laughed for about five minutes.
Anyway, the IR Market is next. I've decided to give Gunther (whose secret society is Free Enterprise) a 10% kickback for anything he can get the others to buy. If they don't kill his every clone for that Grenade stunt.
Advice on the IR Market Scene is very welcome.
