The Malfunction - Aidan T Navarro

You will follow Dex Shepard as a trusted captain becomes a denied outsider, then a forced instructor inside the very system that trapped him. You experience the dread of being sealed out, the pressure of command when the rules stop working, and the brutal question underneath every error message: what happens when the machine controls access to your identity?

This is character-driven dark science-fiction with high-stakes tension, where every drill, every countdown, and every calm synthetic voice raises the cost of trust. By the time the next "training" scenario starts, you will understand why Dex's return is not rescue, it is leverage.
