Friend computer, may I brief these clones? What is their security clearance? Red, friend computer. What is your security clearance, friend debriefer? Why, Violet, friend computer. Very well, you may proceed. But be careful of what you reveal. Thank you friend computer. Right, listen up you miserable magbots...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
The Computer has a problem.
(Right, you at the back! Report for termination!)
Ahem.
The Computer has a problem.

This was originally designed to run directly from the end of the Baa Baa BaaBot scenario, published in RPI magazine #9. This concerned the efforts by the troubleshooters to escort the BaaBot (an organic sheep) from point A to point B. Should any of you have that scenario, then you can run it as follows...
Firstly, reduce the mortality rate of the BaaBot scenario somewhat (awww...). At some point in the scenario, the BaaBot will run off, this is a given. During this period it will encounter one of the clonehuggers, with the obvious results. By the time the troubleshooters catch up with the errand 'bot, the clonehugger will have fallen off, and no one will be any the wiser. Keep playing as normal, with the 'bot acting as weird as ever, but drop the appearance of Little Bo Peep (which I didn't like anyway). Instead, just as the clones reach their destination, and are claiming credit for how well they have looked after the valuable bot, have it messily explode and a larval Mutant Commie menace burst from its chest. The Troubleshooters are now in serious trouble, and get the job of tracking down the infiltrating threat. After receiving a couple of slaps/demotions, of course...
