Doghouse Blues: Gorman's Game

Thirty thousand years from now, Humanshkind has spread to ¾ of The Universe. Life is at once more diverse and rich than imaginable, yet relatively peaceful, than at any other point in time.

At the helm? Trinity Itself, a machine mind of impossible complexity. Called The Shepherd of Humanshkind, Itself's sole, self-professed goal is to ensure that Humanshkind continues to occupy nearly all corners of space.

What does this matter? Nothing at all, so long as you're not Garth 'Nickels' N'Chalez.
If you ARE Garth Nickels ... Well.

You'll have been found inside an Impossible Spaceship hidden inside the bowels of Pluto, alongside 14 other men and women of ... Surprising abilities. You'll have been there for about 30,000 years. You'll be suffering from profound amnesia that blankets everything except Pop Culture.

You will be quite, quite useless to anyone.

And when those 14 other men and women make an escape attempt, during which they destroy the mining facility where you'd all been found together, and require the presence of Trinity Enforcers to be put down like the dangerous entities that they are, and when YOU don't die, or display equal talents and when you are, mysteriously, the sole survivor ...
You'll be taken prisoner by Itself. You will be tortured for a year. You will be asked which Military agency you worked for. You will be asked about the ship, which remained hidden in plain sight, for 30,000 years and is well in advance of anything currently in Existence.

You will be asked about your powers. You, of course, will not be able to give any valuable answers, display any powers, offer any insight, because you have amnesia most profound.

That year will come to a close.

And then you will be charged, tried and convicted of crimes you did not commit.

You will be sent to Special Services. You will be an honest (probably) Man amidst psycopaths, sociopaths and criminals. You will be expected to survive, without training, without skills, without hope, in a mercenary organization that travels the Universe, doing Itself's dirty deeds.

You will be thrown into The Doghouse, to hunt a most dangerous criminal.

You will be tested.

Will you survive?
